Common Questions About Mobile Home Repair
Find answers to the questions we hear most often from Virginia homeowners
Most mobile home roof replacements take between 1-3 days depending on the size of your home, the type of roofing system being installed, and weather conditions. Smaller homes with straightforward roof access may be completed in a single day, while larger homes or more complex jobs may require two or three days. We provide a more accurate timeline during our on-site assessment once we can examine your specific situation.
Pricing varies based on several factors including the size of your roof, the materials chosen, and any necessary repairs to the underlying structure. As a general guide:
- Metal roofing: $3.50-$5.50 per square foot
- Architectural shingles: $2.50-$4.00 per square foot
- TPO membrane: $2.00-$3.50 per square foot
A typical 1,500 sq ft mobile home roof might range from $4,000-$8,000 depending on material selection. We provide detailed written estimates after our free on-site assessment.
Yes, we work on all types of manufactured homes including single-wide, double-wide, and multi-section homes. We have experience with homes built by all major manufacturers and from various eras. Our team understands the construction methods used in different time periods and can adapt our approach accordingly.
We primarily serve Central Virginia including Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County, Hanover County, Colonial Heights, and the Hopewell area. Our home base in Ford, VA allows us to efficiently reach communities throughout this region. If you're located outside our primary service area, contact us anyway — we may still be able to help or can refer you to trusted partners in your region.
This depends on several factors including the age of your roof, the extent of damage, and the type of roofing material. During our free assessment, we thoroughly inspect your roof and provide an honest recommendation. If the damage is localized and the rest of the roof is in good condition, repair may be sufficient. However, if your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan or has widespread issues, replacement often provides better long-term value. We'll explain our reasoning and provide options so you can make an informed decision.
Virginia's humidity, temperature extremes, and occasional severe weather require durable siding solutions. We recommend:
- Vinyl siding: Most popular, affordable, low-maintenance, good weather resistance
- Fiber cement: Excellent durability, fire-resistant, handles humidity well, higher upfront cost
- Aluminum siding: Good for certain applications, especially where fire resistance is priority
The best choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and specific location factors. We can discuss options during our consultation.
Yes, we understand that roofing emergencies don't always happen during business hours. If you have an active leak causing interior damage, we can often arrange for temporary tarping or emergency repairs to prevent further damage until permanent repairs can be made. Call us at (804) 265-2769 to discuss your emergency situation. Please note that emergency service availability may be limited and additional charges may apply for after-hours response.
We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express). For larger projects, we can discuss payment schedules tied to project milestones. We require a deposit before work begins on most projects, with the balance due upon completion. We provide detailed invoices for all work performed.
Yes, absolutely. After our on-site assessment, you'll receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down all costs including materials, labor, and any additional services. This estimate is valid for 30 days and includes all work to be performed. We don't believe in surprising our clients with hidden fees or unexpected charges — what you see in your estimate is what you'll pay (unless you request additional work during the project).
We stand behind our workmanship with a warranty on labor. Material warranties are provided by the manufacturers and vary by product. During our consultation, we explain all warranty coverage applicable to your specific project. Metal roofing systems typically carry lifetime warranties from the manufacturer, while architectural shingles usually include 30-year coverage. We also provide documentation of all work performed for your records.
Before we begin work, we recommend:
- Clear the work area of vehicles, grills, and outdoor furniture
- Cover items in the attic to protect from dust and debris
- Remove wall decorations that might fall from vibration
- Ensure access to electrical outlets for our equipment
- Make arrangements for pets if they're sensitive to noise
We provide more detailed preparation instructions when we schedule your project. Our team also takes precautions to protect your property during work.
