A roof is disclosed for a mobile home or the like. The roof comprises an existing roof having peripheral blocks disposed along the entire peripheral edge of the existing roof. Insulative material overlies the existing roof and is encompassed by the peripheral blocks. Marginal flashing of impervious material overlies the peripheral blocks and includes a first and a second limb. An upstanding portion is disposed adjacent the distal end of the first limb. Supplementary roof sheets of impervious material overlie the insulative material, the upstanding portion and the first limb and a lag screw or the like secures the first limb between the supplementary roof sheets and the peripheral blocks.

1. A roof for a mobile home or the like comprising in combination: an existing roof having a peripheral edge; peripheral blocks disposed along the entire peripheral edge of said existing roof; insulative material overlying said existing roof; said insulative material being encompassed by said peripheral blocks; marginal flashing of impervious material extending completely over said peripheral blocks; said marginal flashing including a first and a second limb; an upstanding portion extending from the distal end of said first limb away from said existing roof; supplementary roof sheets of impervious material overlying the entire area of said insulative material and said upstanding portion, said supplementary roof sheet also overlying said first limb; said upstanding portion and said supplementary roof sheets cooperating to prevent the egress of driven rain therebetween towards said insulative material; and means for securing said first limb between said supplementary roof sheets and said peripheral blocks. 2. A roof as set forth in claim 1 wherein said peripheral blocks are of wood. 3. A roof as set forth in claim 2 wherein said peripheral blocks are rectangular in transverse cross section. 4. A roof as set forth in claim 1 wherein said insulative material is of a thickness greater than the thickness of said peripheral blocks. 5. A roof as set forth in claim 4 wherein a longitudinal groove is disposed along the longitudinal length of said insulative material, said longitudinal groove and said upstanding portion cooperating to anchor said insulative material against said existing roof. 6. A roof as set forth in claim 5 wherein said longitudinal groove includes a ledge which extends inwardly from an edge of said insulative material abutting against said peripheral blocks. 7. A roof as set forth in claim 6 wherein said longitudinal groove further includes a vertical wall extending from said ledge to an upper surface of said insulative material. 8. A roof as set forth in claim 7 wherein said insulative material is rigid polystyrene. 9. A roof as set forth in claim 4 wherein said insulative material includes a sloping edge extending between the upper surface of the insulative material and the edge of said insulative material that abutts against said peripheral blocks, said sloping edge extending along the longitudinal length of said insulative material. 10. A roof as set forth in claim 7 wherein said upstanding portion includes a sloping section which slopes upwardly and away from adjacent an upper surface of said peripheral block. 11. A roof as set forth in claim 10 wherein said sloping section extends upwardly to a distance from said existing roof equal to the thickness of said insulative material. 12. A roof as set forth in claim 11 wherein a downwardly extending section is disposed adjacent a distal end of said sloping section, said downwardly extending section extending downwardly adjacent said vertical wall. 13. A roof as set forth in claim 12 wherein a flange is disposed adjacent the distal end of said downwardly extending section, said flange extending towards said peripheral blocks. 14. A roof as set forth in claim 13 wherein said downwardly extending section is disposed adjacent said vertical wall and said flange is disposed adjacent to said ledge. 15. A roof as set forth in claim 1 wherein the said insulative material comprises a single layer. 16. A roof as set forth in claim 1 wherein said insulative material comprises two layers. 17. A roof as set forth in claim 1 wherein said marginal flashing is metal. 18. A roof as set forth in claim 17 wherein said marginal flashing is aluminum.
