Replacing Roof On Double Wide

I have a question regarding replacing the roof truss system on my double wide mobile home.

Replacing roof on double wide.

I am looking at purchasing a piece of property with an old 24x56 double wide trailer on it. You ll need to go with a 12 furring strip and make sure it is glued and attached well. This double wide has gorgeous paneling on the walls and ceilings. For the single wide you can replace the roof trusses to raise the pitch but be sure to brace it well so that the home isn t structurally damaged.

I d get a contractor to take a look and. Metal roofs are also more energy efficient than standard shingle roofs. Installing a tpo roof over a pitched shingle double wide roof. For example if you select a metal roof with insulation you could be paying up to 7 000 for it to be installed on a double wide.

It has 2x4 stud wall construction with 1x4 top and sill plates. Tpo roofing and asphalt roofing by comparison are typically less costly. Many homes have an asphalt shingle roof but some have wood metal tile and slate which can be more expensive. This type of material is naturally fireproof which often gives the homeowners discounts on homeowner s insurance.

This is covered with sheet metal. Thinner paneling will sag if you don t attach it every 12 and that isn t always pretty. That brings us to an additional consideration when it comes to roof replacement. The pitch of the roof is really flat like a 12 2 maybe a 12 1.

The existing roof trusses are constructed from minimalist materials 1x2 lumber and 1 8 paneling vertical support pieces. The home is a 24 x 60 home. We will be back to bus converting next week promise but this is kind of a companion video to the one i posted last week redoing my roof. Many homeowners who have a flat or bowed roof are in need of a roof repair or replacement.

The cost can be more for larger homes homes with complex roof designs or when installing more expensive materials. The trailer is set on concrete pads and braced along the perimeter. They are commonly made of steel followed by iron and copper. The cost to replace the roof on most homes is 4 000 to 10 000 and most spend about 8 000.

Manufactured homes the coded homes built after 76 tend to have more pitched or peaked roofs. Mobile homes constructed prior to the 1976 implementation of hud code mostly have flat or bowed roofs. Exterior walls are 2x4 studs.
