Thank for so much for these videos! My sweet grandma lives in an old mobile home with moisture damage underneath which has caused the floors to need replacing. She also has those old single pane windows which create the worst condensation and damage the paneling under the windows. She’s 69 and in remission from cancer so I’ve decided to tackle it. I’ve replaced the paneling in her living and dining room but never done floors.

[@JamesMarriottano]

Got the idea but the floor gonna fall in again

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I’m not sure if you’re asking me a question or you’re telling me something

[@JamesMarriottano]

The way the mobile homes are built & when redoing the floors you should always add blocking, especially on the sides Where the trusses meet the frame.. Not to mention if the floor bows it due to bad supports. So these 3 things go hand and hand when redoing it the right way. First level the floor takes a few cement blocks and a floor jack. Then block the floor to lock it in place and keep the trusses from bowing again.. after that it's super easy to lay the floor without going under the frame and the floor won't need to be leveled with special boards.. Typically blocking the edges and every 3ft into the trusses will keep everything from goin back down like you're describing. I'm not seeing any extra support for heavy traffic areas like the hallway or the doors.. The biggest issue I saw here was yall didn't add any support to the frame 😔that holds the roof or walls.. Keep in mind the frames rest on the flooring.. Basically those are sitting on burrow time now

[@JamesMarriottano]

Also I must say the sweating of the vents is a 20 roll of tape, that basically does the same thing ur doing but keeps it from sweating. At like 10% of the cost.. Same thing the use with residential or industrial grade pipes that sweat. Tape is made of a material that keeps the box and pipes from sweating intensively

It's a pain in the backside unless you're making some really good money or saving a lot of money by living in one you can pay off. Been there done that don't want to do it again. Get plenty of 2x4, screws, insulation and floor decking, I don't know why they don't put plywood in these things!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I like to use the Adventech that is the Best plywood in my mind or as far as I’m concerned. I have no idea why they used that old sawdust plywood to put in a mobile home. If you literally spill one cup of water and you don’t clean it up immediately in a week you can step your foot through that spot. To be honest they are doing better nowadays they do not use that type of flooring anymore.

Your videos are great! Im getting ready to redo my subfloors and replace my bathtubs. I've never done this before so these videos are perfect homework. Any advice? What depth do you set the skill saw at? What do you use for blocking? What are the best floors to use in bathrooms? This trailer came with carpet, which is nasty in a bathroom. I've got my supply list I'm compling. What am I missing? 54 inch mobile home tub with tub surround and right hand drain. Utopia 8 inch center set faucet plumbers putty screw fittings ptrap under drain. 23/32nd plywood r19 insulation (I'm in Maine, so I think I'll have to go thicker!) Wall saw Skill saw Vent tape

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You should use Vantex flooring, not three-quarter inch plywood. It is a little bit more money but it will never go away. They have different brands of it. I’m not sure what they carry in Maine advent tech Vantex there’s different names. I’m not sure what years is like I said, but if you use it, you will never have to replace your floor again ever plywood. It could happen. If it gets wet down the road you’ll have to replace itVantex, you will not. Sounds like you have everything you need if you’re in Maine maybe you would consider our 30 in the attic but I think I 19 is fine for the floor. Thank you for watching and if there’s anything else I can help you with please let me know it sounds like you got it figured out. When you take up the floor if it’s put down with Staples and glue I have a video for that.

[@MsCruisein]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Thank you!

[@watertiteman]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Advantech will swell if it gets wet. In preparation for installing linoleum, I used thinset to fill all the gaps between the tongue and groove, and it sponged out. If getting wet one time causes it to swell, i'm not so sure that I believe it will outperform plywood. In either case, the key is to make sure nothing ever leaks!

Serious question… What was the cost of this job and … was the cost worth the result? I was thinking of simply cladding the existing floor with 3/4 ply though the advantech might be a viable option. My biggest problem is the underside is/was covered with a “tarred” cardboard like material.

[@frodrickfronkensteen9241]

I searched and found Drews videos, as it pertains to my project. I'm renovating(saving) a mobile home for my daughter (priced out of her apartment down in the city). YOU CAN DO THIS. Just look for the wet spots on the floor, SET YOUR SAW for the depth of the flooring (NO MORE) and start cutting. Once you see what is beneath, you gain confidence. Cut a little more and look around underneath. Once you open up the effects of the problem (the floor), you understand it and realize you can replace it. KEEP READING... Fixing the effects is step 1. Make sure to fix the problem/what caused it (step 2). Our problem... the exterior sheathing/siding... being a mobile home, it was laid up in 4x8, 10 or 12 ft sheets of siding. These sheets are joined together every FOUR (4) feet. That seam's caulk had deteriorated. Water ran down and behind the siding and onto the floor. AND THAT WAS THE PRIMARY CAUSE. SECOND PROBLEM... The mobile home's A/C unit's condensation line became plugged (or there was a leak in the A/C pan. Regardless, we replaced it (all of it) and made sure the A/C could condensate/leak (which is normal) BENEATH the floor. Hope this helps. You can do this. God bless you and your husband. You can do this.

No the saw is from harbor freight. Less then 100 bucks. It will take 2 men less then a full day to do each floor. You can call me anytime I’ll talk you threw it

Those joists seem really far apart. I bet it sagged a lot.

That is why we added the underpinning with the framing all around the house sagging

We done everything you guys did in the video to my father home and used the same type of flooring. But it came out amazing, the advantech Osb is the best stuff to get!!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you I’m glad we were able to help yes that is the best flooring you can get. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to hit that thumbs up so KZbin will share it with somebody else they can use it

[@raybaca7387]

I cant do this.. How much for a small bathroom

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

To be honest bathrooms are the most expensive because you have to remove the toilet. If you have to remove the shower or anything else it can get really expensive. So a small bathroom without removing the shower you’re still looking at $800-$1000

[@raybaca7387]

Wow thats how much i wanted to pay. Yea i was gonna buy some colk to do the tolit cuz its leaking.. Thanks. Hopfuly we fix the floor befor tolit ot bathtubs fall threw floor.

[@andrewbaggett2505]

Just for my curiosity, does the advantech offer an advantage over regular plywood?

[@abelgarcia5718]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair what type of plywood do you use? 3/4?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes 23/32 that is three-quarter

Hi. Thanks 4 recording how to do it. Does it matter which way the Insulation is facing.. Mine was done from the bottom, paper side faces the ground? Thanks again..

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

The vapor barrier should be towards the inside of the house meaning the vapor barrier should be right under the flooring and the vapor barrier would be right underneath the sheet rock on the walls and the vapor barrier would be right underneath the sheet rock on the ceilings

My dad house needs this done…He usually fix things himself but his health not so good and he up in the age this is too stressful for him… I wish I knew how to do it not worrying about hitting a wire or pipe because he deserves the world

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It makes me feel good that you’re so proud of your dad. That means he brought you up proper. And I love your KZbin name unique honesty. Honesty is a virtue that some people just don’t have. I bet your dad is an amazing man. A KZbinr called me from Florida. He wanted to have a consultation with me about a property that he bought in Florida I’ll share his video link with you. We talked on the phone for a couple hours and by the time we were done talking I had decided that he needs help. And I felt like I could help him. So I told him that I would take myself and my friend left handed Paul and come to Florida the second week of November for two weeks and get as much done as we can on his place this is the KZbin channel he sent me and if you notice in the comments I told him we would be there November Second week to help him. I wish we could help your father to. Check out the comments where I told them we would come help. I love helping people when I can. I don’t have a full-time job anymore because of health issues I just can’t work full-time. But I’m still able to help kzbin.info/door/HX23lCrsOq3HXHENKyyCGQ

[@Sneaky_Slay]

What tool is that cutting the wood close to the wall?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

A jam saw. You can buy it at harbor freight. I think it is only 89 dollars. I have a couple of them. If you don’t have one a regular Skil saw will work just fine you just have to cut the rest of it off with a saws all. Just like we did in this video. This was before we had the saw how we did it kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIKWgIluoK1kiMk

[@Sneaky_Slay]

How close does it get to the wall? Is it almost flush

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Within an eighth of an inch it is so amazing definitely worth using it saves you having to use the saws all to get everything else but the Skil saw and a saws all will do the same thing. Remember this under the outside walls when you cut the floors out you’re gonna have to put some framing back in there. In order to do that you’re gonna have to look underneath the wall and you will see there are staples nails screws and all kinds of things you will have to get out of the way in order to reframe the floor to except the new plywood 23/32 is what I use generally

[@Sneaky_Slay]

Okay great thanks for the help I got a bathroom in a new place we just bought that has to be completely remodel due to water damage. So thank you I will go out tomorrow and aquire one.

The ductwork in mobile homes is pure junk just like the rest of the trailers materials

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

To be honest, the ductwork in a mobile home is similar to the ductwork in a house in some cases

[@ashleyc6333]

Hey. I was just curious, in the start of the video the room you were in you said they had the flooring running length ways. It looks to me that it’s going the width of the room. By the end of the video it looks like all the flooring is running the full length of the mobile home. Just wanted to see if you could clarify this? Should the flooring run length of the mobile home and is there a reason to why? I’m needing to have my whole kitchen replaced and if I remember correctly the subfloor is currently running the width of the mobile home. Thank you for taking the time to post these videos!!

Sorry about the music this was an old video but I wanted you to see the difference in the way the floors are laid lengthwise and sometimes sideways kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4nPhI2qjNOogqc

[@bjre.wa.8681]

I lived in and rebuilt a old manufactured home. The area I live was and still is Mobil homes. Slowly they're disappearing. The old homes can't be moved. They have to be demolished where they're located. home movers won't touch them. Lot built homes are replacing the old manufacture homes. The material/labor cost just don't work putting into a old manufactured home. Just the kitchen cabinets will cost as much as that old home. Maybe if you have access to used reclaimed lumber and are retired with no day job, I could see doing this. I was fascinated that anyone would do this.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I like working on Mobile Home

[@stillkickingfishing]

I just bought a 1464 square foot 42-year-old manufactured home in Currituck County Virginia. The floors are all 3/4 inch particle board and I'm gonna replace it all along with the insulation. I don't have the budget for AdvanTech. Any thoughts on DryGuard? I'm going to also install a crawlspace fan. Thank you for your videos.

How much is it roughly and is single wide one bedroom to replace subfloor and put new flooring on top of that? How much would that be estimate parts and labor everything

[@appalachianamerican3881]

The floors in my trailer are sinking in. No vents in the place, so I guess somehow condensation is trapping under it from the ground.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It sounds like to me the underbelly of your trailer is not enclosed. And that is very important

I love in NC. .how much would it be to replace my floor underneath my laminate like that? for my kitchen and living room? right now it's particle board. I have a 14 by 80 Horton.

I prefer good grade plywood waterproof

What kind of saw are they useing buy the walls

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can buy that saw at Home Depot for under $50. Excuse me Harbor freight for under $50. Some people are calling it a tow kick saw. But I Colladay flush cut saw. Go to Harbor freight near you show them a picture of it they’ll put one in your hand I love it works real well. We used to use a saws all until we found that tool. Actually a customer started doing his own floor and he bought that saw at Harbor freight. When he realized how hard it was he hired me. He gave me the song and said I never want to have to useless again. So we did his job using his saw and it worked out so great we bought another one. In our earlier videos we used to use a saws all which could be kind of dangerous because of pipes and wires they put underneath floors in mobile 🏠 I want to share with you my playlist of some of my Mobile Home Floor jobs we have done. kzbin.info/aero/PL8xp84iSvTA6oXgxQr0iXkWR2bOhrllSm

How do you fixs the underneath part after haveing a animal in their.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

If you working on the top and you can see where they’re getting in you can fix that with a tarp that you buy at Lowe’s. All you have to do is the tarp whatever size you need to seal up the hole. You can actually use a caulking to put on the tarp and then stick it to the other underbelly it’s already under your trailer. That will fix the hole or you can just call me 910-294-1761 and ask me in person
