Drew’s Roofing And Home Repair Brunswick County North Carolina how to repair your Mobile Home Floor on a single wide

[@ceciliamatos22]

I have been studying your videos & am so happy that you have posted so much useful solid info & advice! I own a single-wide trailer (circa 70’s) that has a rotten bathroom floor. I will have to remove the ugly bathtub (no real loss) to get the job done right. On the other side of the tub wall (my bedroom) my husband punched a hole in the floor when he sat down in a chair so I suspect water damage seeped in that area as well. Problem is that the hole is right above the center vent 😱 I am resigned to replace the tub, toilet, sink & the entire tiny bathroom floor. So I figured while I’m doing all this-that I might as well go gun-ho & add an 6x10’ extension onto the exterior of the trailer which would enlarge both my bedroom & bath. Since I also wanted to add a deck with arbor on the same side I have decided to hire a decking company for the 12’ tall decking post installation & incorporate some of these posts as my outside framework on the addition. The deck flooring, extension & bathroom/bedroom work would be on me mostly as my husband is in his 80’s & the tools and talent are mine. I have some hard work ahead to make this happen- I am located on Long Island NY. I will be hiring a plumber & electrician during this process. Do you have any advise to offer? I figured a good start is to do the deck posts & outside shell (& roof) of the addition first as I will be working thru the fall & beginning of winter before completion. I just want to thank you again for posting your helpful videos-you have inspired me & I am determined. I have $20,000 in retirement savings for this that I believe will get me through this undertaking if I do the bulk of the addition & deck flooring myself. I just started planning this-do you have any advice?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I was suggest watching a lot of my videos check out my playlist I’m pretty sure I have several hundred floor videos and it seems like every floor we run into something different I wish you luck on your project I’m actually in New Jersey right now visiting my mother-in-law Hackettstown or somewheres near that I wish I could help better I’m all the way in North Carolina I say just keep on the path you’re working at bass daddy when you get frustrated take a break

[@williamrichards7081]

Don't spend your retirement money on the repairs or additions. Instead , either get a loan from some agency, the county or a lender for the amount. If you can't get the loan, try a Home Depot project card. Kast I checked, their terms were pretty good. Then make payments on the project card from income or side hustles. Keep your retirement savings to live on in retirement.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree and thank you for the comment I hope this helps you do not spend your retirement savings

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

[@sneelockshaberdasheryofhig6419]

I really appreciate the way you’re making the video, I purchased a 1990’s Clayton mobile on 2 acres. It’s been a nightmare. Mainly because it seems they workers building the place in the warehouse don’t care about anything. I uncovered writing on a 2x4 stating “fuck my life” written under the drywall in my small master closet. Don’t take offense, you’re the used car salesman that has a heart. You know the problems with trailer homes, and you’re telling us the secrets of the builders mindset. I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS. You and your team are saving me thousands of dollars I don’t have.

Oh shit I never thought about the condensation problem. That for sure must have played a factor in mine from the previous owners. Always thought the main reason they rotted was from having no overhang so all the water runs down the walls which is beyond stupid I don't know why they do that. Gonna repair my floor this week, skillsaw along the wall will be a big help.

That blade was trash. I am suprised the windings in that saw didnt start smoking. Fastest was to wreck a saw is using a cheap dull blade on anything. I pulled all my subflooring up and installed plywood. Not OSB. That crap swells from moisture and can destroy any type of flooring placed over it. Make sure any vapor barrier underneath is repaired by adding in New pieces over the old stuff. Then add your new insulation. Vaccuum up all the sawdust made by the saw too..

We moved into my sister's mobile home after she passed away last December and because of some plumbing that had at some point been done that wasn't up to code had a flood in the first month. Within a month later there is a spot in the floor that is soft and feels like its just carpet. I'm so stressed out about this hole I've even had nightmares about the thing haha. This video helped me at least understand what's going on with it until I can find someone to come out here and replace that osb. For now we've just sort of marked off the area and we avoid stepping there. Makes me worry about the safety of the floor around the shower and toilet themselves now too though. I truly appreciate ya'll taking the time to record this and post it.

My other half is doing nothing about it. He will go through first. :) I have found that if I start a project he will want to take over. Right now I am taking the dryer apart to replace the rollers and figure out why it is not heating. He took off the top and decided he did not want to finish taking off the front and pull out the drum. I am certain he will take over once I tell him I have the computer board off and if I can figure out where the drill is I will pull it and that will spark the gotta take over mode. After it is fixed I will get to starting on the floor.

Always wear a mask and have the tiles or linoleum tested when working on older homes and trailers. our relatives removed their kitchen flooring but later when the tests came back they had to demolish the entire house and all of their belongings due to the asbestos dust kicked up from the saws got onto everything. TEST FIRST. both died of cancer several years later. be safe.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Oh my yard that is such a sad story for your parents I am so sorry to hear that. That is scary. I never knew that linoleum could have asbestos. Thank you for your comment so sorry to hear of your loss.

[@One_Chick]

My SO and I managed a park until it closed with several abandoned homes that we had to have demolished. Out of 10 homes tested, 8 were positive for asbestos in either window glazing, metal roofing joints, or floor tiling or adhesive.

I have a bit of a question. Is it theoretically easier to fix a bedroom that has what seems like a damaged floor under the carpet and a visibly yanked-out ceiling fan? The reason I ask is that my grandmother owns a mobile home but one of the bedrooms has been deemed basically unsafe to live in and is used as a storage room instead. This is largely because the previous owner was evicted and she destroyed the bedroom in question on her way out. I would like to see it repaired someday, assuming my grandmother doesn't move out one day. But between the current economic climate we currently have and the fact that her trust with contractors is shattered (we lack a central AC unit because she hired someone else to replace a broken one, only for him to retire after removing the previous AC unit and leave no way to contact him, leaving no unit whatsoever... at least she had yet to pay him.)... I doubt she will be hiring someone to fix it up anytime soon. So I'd like to work out what it'll take to fix the bedroom.

These Mobile Home Floor’s are not made to get wet that’s for sure. The newer mobile homes nowadays if they build have waterproof floors

A quicker easier way to remove those sticky tiles is put a piece of wax paper down on the tile and run a hot iron over it or use a heat gun. The iron is actually faster.

I would do section only if I couldn’t afford to do the whole thing. What bothers me about doing sessions is that if it happens again you have to remove the floor again. But if you do a section and you don’t recover it with linoleum or carpet or whatever if it happens again you won’t have to take up the carpet

What is the average cost (per square foot perhaps) of mobile home floor replacement?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

To be honest I do it by the room. A living room can run 1400 labor and material bedrooms generally run 800 bathrooms because of the toilet and the sink generally runs 6 to 800. And that is removing the subfloor and replacing insulation framing when needed install new subfloor. And then you have to think about getting the floor covering. Check out a few of these videos I hope they help. If you are doing it for yourself you can save a lot of money. Watch my videos I hope they help you with the framing.

@@DrewsroofingandhomerepairThanks Ms. L I was going to ask this same thing. Also what if you are living in one and the floor needs replacement. Do you just do room by room? I just had my back door replaced 2 days ago because I had to. Really wanting to move so don't want to put too much more into it. Today I got a new dryer and realized the floor under the washer and dryer. For a quick fix until I move can I get some plywood cut to the size under my washer and dryer to reinforce that area? (I did see Video 2 where only little sections were done and it had to be redone, but if I don't plan to stay here much longer would it be fine?) I have a 1980 Skyline; I have that particle board crap. I've lived here a while and this place has done its job. I'm ready to run for the hill now and demo the place because I won't wish this on anyone. I am single and there is just too much to replace. I'm not against the new better-built mobile homes, but these older ones it should have been a crime to build something like this. That back door I replaced; do you know what they used between the two layers.....styrofoam.

Drew, im up here in the North East... winters are brutal, and i know this is a flooring video, but you were addressing condensation. I have that problem with my doors. The frame that attaches to the house gets cold and actually gets frost and ice during the winter. This is on the inside too. In the process the water dripping has ruined the floor and possible the rim joist. this will all be repaired in the spring. Any tips on how to stop that when i put the new door in?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

W honest I’m not sure what you would do in that situation I have never seen that happen before I wish I could help

[@scottfirman]

Remove trim around the door and spray foam anything between the door frame and the 2x4. Check your weather seal around your door too. Look for leaks if need be. Have someone shine a light with the door closed outside. If you can see any light between the door and outside, install a seal around the door and frame. I own a mobile home. If the door is damaged by someone kicking it or the wind grabbing it, it can twist the door and warp it. Check all your screws in the hinges. if any are loose and wont tighten. Replace with longer wood screws or use tooth picks and super glue and stuff them in the screw holes. Then you can put the original screws back in and they will be tight again.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

What do you want to do is go 20 x 15 equals and then figure for plywood every hundred square-foot is three pieces of plywood. So I’m guesstimating 10 pieces of plywood and you want to get it 23/32. Plywood cost about $28 per sheet. Then you gonna need some 2 x 4 framing. Or 20 x 15 you’re going to need 10 two by fours so you can do the blocking and the outside framing in order to except your new plywood just like we do on the video.
