Do Not Do Your Mobile Home Floors Reair Like This.

[@eileensongs]

Gosh, I would want you and the crew to do my floors, and windows if you were up to traveling back up to RI in the Spring. I am getting to where I don't trust anyone but you, No one does mobile homes up here and home repair companies who say they can are clueless!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I have the best floor window and roof team when it comes to mobile homes

[@eileensongs]

When Drew and the crew get it done, they get it done right! I'm serious too Drew. I would love for you guys to do my floors and windows if you're ever heading up this way again. You didn't like them at all. The overhang that you made for the roof definitely makes a difference as far as not letting any water come down the walls of the mobile home from the outside. I loved how you didn't just rush into getting it done. When you did my roof you went over it you assessed it you were very thoughtful in how to proceed because I had that foam board under the other roof. You are professional and easy to talk to you addressed questions which I really appreciated and you all will personable. You treated me like family when you did the roof can't say that about many contractors.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you so much for all your kind words. It means a lot to me in my group. I wish I could come there and do your windows and floors. But windows and floors take a lot of time. My crew would be there for 2 weeks. If I lived there. I would be there but your house is 14 hrs drive from here. And as far as family you are family now. All my customers are family to me. I am happy you like the job we did and I’m glad you still follow my youtube channel. I have to measure windows and then order and that can take weeks now with all the stuff that’s going around right now. A lot of places are half staff. Windows are taking two weeks longer to get. Not to mention the prices of everything going up so much it’s not even funny. Gas food lodging. Thank you for being a great customer and a faithful You Tube Subscriber of Drew’s Roofing And Home Repair

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Thanks Drew. I understand. I wasn't thinking that far ahead We have a mobile home supply distributor in the area and I called them to see if there was anyone that they knew of because you can't even buy from them unless you're a contractor. They gave me a name of a fellow who works at a mobile home park in another part of Rhode Island and when I called him he never even called me back. I'm telling you trying to get someone is like looking for a needle and haystack. It's crazy. It's really making me consider selling.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I’m so sorry you have that problem. If I was there he would not have that problem unfortunately I’m so far away from you

This video makes me so glad our 1983 dbl wide has plywood subfloors. Knowing how these things were built is half the battle for knowing what to do when remodeling or repairing!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

O yes. My house has plywood as well. And I agree knowing is half the battle

[@mgd9151]

I know it isn't best but everyone isn't a builder and some ppl don't have the right type of budget. They at least have a home and that's fantastic. I build but was homeless for 25 yrs. Those floors look beautiful, trust me, you have to have a home and saved money to see problems like this. Good video sir.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you

[@liztaylor85139]

Adore you DREW! I've made a lot of mistakes remodeling myself. It's tuff for a do-it-yourself person with very little experience in carpentry. But I love that you didn't talk bad about the homeowners... Just pointed out the mistakes so we don't make them. I've learned so much from you! Keep up the great work and videos!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Absolutely! Thank you 🙏 I don’t want to say bad stuff. I want to teach the right way. We all make mistakes even me. I always try to learn from them and share it with whoever wants to learn what I know. Thank you for watching

[@liztaylor85139]

I absolutely adore "Drew's Crew". Taught me so much! I'm renovating my Fahter's old doublewide and learned so much. You'd gripe at me but be proud of me! I'm doing it all by myself! Thanks for the tip on running the plywood when I finally start on the living room! Come do mine! LOL

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I wish I could. I sure would my young lady I sure would love to help you. I’m glad I’m able to help with my videos since I can’t come there in person. I appreciate all your comments very much.

[@RealKeytones]

I just purchased a mobile home for only $250. It needs a lot of work. First time ever and I just did the floor myself. It doesn’t look too bad for my 1st time. I made a lot of mistakes. That I’m sure I’ll have to fix later but I’m learning.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

That’s all that matters

[@bryanr5756]

Yes sir! Did my subfloor last winter.. you have been a great teacher!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you Bryan. I love helping out if I can. I know mobile home floors

[@willharris2607]

I agree 100% . I wish I hadn’t been patching mine all these years and Instead did it room by room as it got damaged. It didn’t cost me any more but would’ve been nice to do it 1 time and be done with the room at least

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

[@sandyrodriguez2803]

What a messy floor! Thanks for sharing.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Not what I would do for sure

[@RandyWells24]

makes sense what your saying in LVRM....the way the ran plywood, there is NO support and the end of the sheet, unless they added support which is more $$ and time. i think there trying to seal the seems, but tongue and groove would solve that problem

[@Paulie1232]

I've never seen the floor joints on a mobile run on the length, its always on the width...great video...thanks for sharing brother...

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It’s bad. Not done correctly at all

[@Marblegrass]

I have just opened up a rotted floor and the joist run Longitudinal / length ways. Engineering how to make it sturdy and doing it with one piece of plywood is a real b*tch. Edit: In a bathroom none the less.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I hate mobile homes that run length ways they can be a real pain in the butt although if it’s made of wood you can fix it

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Bathrooms can be difficult I hate the way they run the floor joist lengthwise

[@southcarolinapatriot7812]

I hope and pray you and your family had a Merry Christmas and a great new year?? I also pray that 2022 brings you plenty of work and tons of profit my brother. Happy Holidays and we send you and your family our love and prayers. You are the man, and this is one messed up floor job

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Can you believe that brother I really hate it when I see this kind of thing unfortunately it’s the homeowner. I contemplated whether I should put this video on or not because the homeowner did it themselves and he actually found me for an estimate on his windows and I gave him an estimate and I went inside to look at the windows and seen this. I didn’t know if I should make the video or not I’m not trying to call out the homeowner I’m just saying it’s not the way I would do it. Check out my first three or four videos I think it’s mostly about this house

Hey, I hope you going to have a good new year 😍 you had answered me before so I was hoping that you may have a video of putting siding on a mobile home? I'm sure I can Google or ask KZbin lol but I wanted to start here first

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you but sorry to say I do not. What type of siding are you wanting to use.

[@amandaeaton4252]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair that's ok, I can Google it. I just wanted to check with ya 😊 it's vinyl siding, it was originally on the trailer to begin with but my husband reinforced, put new plywood I geuss you call it, on the exterior. Our trailer is rather old, and was empty for 2 or 3 years before we bought it so we just fix things as we go, or as we can afford. But now, the siding needs to be put back but my husband is a mechanic, not a carpenter so he's just looking for a video to reference the best way to put the siding back on. The people that originally helped are no longer available, so it's just a learning process for us now. Still come back to your videos though, its nice to know that other people care about fixing up old trailers ❤️

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can literally watch a video on installing siding and learn how to do it so many good videos on vinyl siding

[@ronaldboyd6184]

Hi Drew do you glue and screw your plywood?

No never not necessary

[@joshuapeters2764]

On these trailers with 1x wall construction can you install normal house windows in? I need to replace some windows

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes. All you have to do is buy a window with no jam extension. Build your own jam after the window is installed. It’s not hard

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

This is not the best video but this mobile home had 2x2 walls. We installed house windows in it. You will have to ask you building supply to show you what they have with out jam extensions. You build your own jams.

Thank you so much for all your comments. I really do appreciate them.

[@darkshadowsx5949]

that almost looks like something my uncle would do. except he would cut a sheet up into 8 random sized pieces and make a puzzle. he got to my floor before i could get a chance to do it. so i took his keys to the house away. he ran the boards the wrong way. there was no cross support so those tiny boards he cut would of sank in. the smallest board was 5 inches wide and only ran between 2 joist. i could have stomped and put a hole in the floor. i have to square up the cut in the floor and get 3 new sheets to fix it right.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I have seen so many people do that they just don’t know. But I would have to be ran the correct way or it just won’t work. And doing a little square here in a little square there is never good in my opinion.

[@Thoreau-e4l]

Should be perpendicular to joist, not parallel.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

What??

[@Thoreau-e4l]

@Drewsroofingandhomerepair lol,it should be at right angles compared to the joist, you were looking for words to describe plywood going across floor joists instead of with floor joists.

[@slappychap969]

Not only is it not level. The rim joist is rotten and tweaking the entire frame. My guess. I am by far not an expert. Just fixing my own newly acquired mobile. And seen how one section of rim joint that's rotten has literally twisted everything from roof seams to joists.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Wow. I can’t see that happening

[@johnmathis141]

What you put in the cracks to seal it

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Whoever did that floor used hard wood it comes in a can. It’s powder you mix it with water into a paste. By the way, I do it when I’m finished there shouldn’t be any cracks like that. So if you’re putting down a new floor there shouldn’t be any cracks whoever did the floor did a lousy job, therefore they had a lot of cracks. I went in there just to remove all that and replace it with a new.

[@slappychap969]

You will never ever get the correct window frame. You need to make sure you specifically say a rimmed window. And after fifteen trips to get the basic measure corrected yet again. Just make the whole bigger and reframe for an in stock window. Trust me

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

The windows are all finished in this house. We changed all the sizes.

[@RandyWells24]

SPACKLE! cause that wont be a prob when it gets wet again. lol REGARDLESS of how you repair the subfloor, IF you get another leak, you HAVE to take up the new floor covering anyhow, just cause you replace entire sub, doesnt make it magical against water it STILL could have to be replaced in the future, NOT as fast as the CRAP MDF the manufacture used, and to "do that properly" would require removing interior and exterior walls, especially if there was a window leak
