I have a 1978 single wide mobile home and it has a large he section of flat roof. I was wondering if I can put on a pitched metal roof Instead of every two years paying someone to seal it and worry in winter the weight of snow On the flat roof Is that a very expensive project ? Thank you

Depending upon the current pitch, this could be a fairly involved project. There are, however, metal roofs designed for low slope mobile home retrofits. I would encourage you to look for a contractor in your area who specializes in mobile home repair.

Mark, probably but without knowing more details of exactly what was done, I really can't comment with more specificity.

I hired a gentleman to put a metal roof on my 1985 mobile that I just purchased which was leaking & caused mold inside. I gutted inside & now I had this person put a water resistant tarp on top of roof temporaily until he could put a new metal roof over existing roof. He left the tarp & put the metal roof over it. Shouldn't he have taken off the tarp? won't it cause moisture in summer since it gets so hot? also a neighbor said it is possible to rot & maybe catch on fire? can you give me an opinion if I should tell him to remove it?

it is definitely a water resistant tarp that I purchased at Harbor Freight that you can cover up something outside temporarily to stop rain from getting on things.

Are you sure it was a tarp vs. a synthetic underlayment? I haven't seen an application where leaving a tarp in place makes sense.

Are we talking about cross country or to the other side of the lot? If the structure is good, it shouldn't move around much.

Can you move an older mobile home that has had a metal roof installed
