Mobile and manufactured homes get quoted by the same storm-chasers who quote stick-built homes — and often with the same $12,000 scope, whether the home justifies it or not. I inspect HUD-code homes honestly: roof-over vs full replacement vs 'don't spend the money,' with the reasoning in writing.
HUD-code truss and structure load verification
Roof-over vs replacement scoring
TPO, shingle, and metal option comparison
Honest 'don't repair' recommendation when appropriate
Vent, skylight, and A/C-curb flashing audit
Insurance and sales-friendly written report
Full walk with mobile / manufactured home structural focus. HUD-code truss and structural sheathing verification. Roof-over feasibility (shingle, TPO, metal) with attachment analysis. Vent, skylight, and A/C-curb flashing condition. Remaining-life estimate and repair-vs-replace-vs-do-nothing scoring. Written report with photo evidence, defensible in sales and insurance disputes.
NM mobile and manufactured home owners considering roof work. Buyers under contract on manufactured homes wanting pre-purchase clarity. Sellers wanting to disclose accurately. Owners quoted for a full replacement wanting a second opinion. Community managers with multi-unit mobile home parks.
Verbal Walk — $99 Standard Written Report — $299 Detailed w/ Photo Documentation — $499 Mobile Home Community (per unit) — $79/unit for 10+ units Most single-home inspections are $299–$499. Community pricing available for parks with 10+ units.
Usually yes — HUD-code homes support a shingle or TPO roof-over if the existing structure is sound and the trusses can carry the load. I verify both before recommending, because a roof-over on a sagging structure just hides the real problem.
Metal is popular in NM because it sheds monsoon rain fast and reflects summer heat. Attachment matters — HUD-code homes need through-fastened panels into the truss, not just the skin. I verify the truss layout before scoring metal as an option.
I'll tell you honestly. Pre-1976 mobile homes rarely justify a $6,000+ roof. Post-1976 HUD-code homes in decent condition usually do. I include the honest answer even when it's not what you were hoping to hear.
Class A + ember-zone audit for WUI.
R-value, ventilation, and cool-roof scoring.
Attachment + flashing warranty check.
Board-ready capital plan.
I've watched too many neighbors sign contracts they didn't understand for roofs they didn't need. That stops with a written report they own.
