How Much Does Mobile Home Roof Replacement Cost? [2025 Data]

Roof Size

The primary pricing factor for your mobile home roof replacement is the size of the home and its roof. While mobile homes are available in standard sizes, the roof sizes and shapes can vary. The critical measurement is the total square feet of materials necessary to cover the roof.

If you have an older mobile home with a flat or low-sloped roof with no overhanging eaves, you can easily estimate the roof size using the square-foot measurement of the house. On the other hand, if your mobile or manufactured home has eaves and a dormer or two, more precise measuring is necessary to determine the roof size.

Width

The size of your mobile home's roof is directly related to its width. Single-wide homes have smaller roofs that cost less to roof than double-wide and larger ones. However, there is some overlap, especially regarding irregularly shaped manufactured home roofs. Many single-wide homes feature flat or low-sloped roofs that require less material overall during roof replacements.

Slope

Mobile and manufactured homes seldom feature steep roof lines. However, modern ones often have more elaborate roof shapes that include gables, eaves, and porch roofs. These features, plus the increased pitch associated with them, will affect pricing for your roof replacement due to the additional materials necessary. However, because mobile home roof pitches don't tend to exceed 4 inches in 12 feet, steepness and complexity only factor in as they relate to material quantity.

Materials

When replacing your mobile home roof, you have several materials to choose from, each with varying price points. Flat or low-slope roofs and steeper roofs require different materials. 

Low-slope roofs require seamless roof construction, making rubber roofs, such as TPO or EPDM, appropriate. Liquid roof coating is also an option. Steeper roofs are more often a feature of larger mobile homes and require materials like asphalt shingles or metal roofing.

Roof Installer Costs

The price ranges in this guide include both materials and installation labor. However, it's important to understand how the labor price breaks down. Average mobile home roof replacements consist of removing and disposing of old roofing materials and installing new ones. The cost for these services is between $1.50 and $4 per square foot. The material price makes up the balance. 

General Contractor Cost 

If your roof replacement is tied into the cost of a mobile home renovation project, your contractor can perform the work during construction. The labor cost will be similar to that of having a roofing specialist perform the job, accounting for between 40% and 60% of the total cost.

Additional Pros to Consider Hiring

Replacing your mobile home roof is most often necessary to provide adequate protection for the house. However, other add-on projects can offer additional protection, and some can add more functionality to the home.

• Siding installation costs: $5,560–$17,625

• Gutter installation costs: $625–$1,715

• Gutter repair costs: $240–$480

• Gutter downspout installation costs: $315–$1,070

• Window replacement costs: $3,445–$11,835

• Tree trimming costs: $270–$1,800

• Skylight installation costs: $1,010–$2,805

Additional Cost Factors

Nearly all of the costs associated with your mobile home roof replacement are part of your total pricing estimate. However, situations can exist that will significantly increase the cost of your project. 

Demolition and Prep 

Demolition of the existing roof and standard preparation work is already part of your invoice total. However, if your home has more than a single layer of roofing materials on it that require removal before the installation can begin, expect to spend an extra $0.50 to $3.50 per square foot to get rid of it.  

Repairs

It's not uncommon to discover that some minor repair work is necessary to the roof structure while removing the existing materials. This is normal and won't often affect the overall project cost. However, repairing significant damage can increase the cost of your replacement as a whole. Expect roof repair costs of between $300 and $2,000 if you must address major roof damage during the project. 

Maintenance

While not necessarily a cost directly associated with roof replacement, after your project, consider budgeting for a roof maintenance plan to help reduce future replacement expenses.

• Gutter cleaning costs: $120–$235

• Roof cleaning costs: $295–$620

DIY Mobile Home Roof Replacement vs. Hiring a Pro

Replacing your mobile home roof as a DIY project is possible. However, working on a roof is inherently dangerous. Additionally, older mobile home roofs are less robust than those on conventional houses, so careful foot placement and weight distribution are essential. Also, because flat and low-slope roofs must be seamless, replacing them requires specialized knowledge and skills. 

For these reasons, most mobile homeowners hire a local roofing professional to accomplish roof replacement tasks for them. Doing so also entitles you to a warranty that may not be available from the manufacturer if you choose to do the work yourself. 

Mobile Home Roof Replacement vs. Repair 

Older mobile homes last between 30 and 60 years on average. Newer, manufactured homes can last much longer. However, they still won't last forever. These factors are essential when determining if repairing your mobile home roof is better than replacing it.

If your mobile home is nearing the end of its resale value life, you can consider performing multiple repairs instead of paying for a full roof replacement. Keep in mind that while repairs cost less than replacement, numerous repair work invoices can add up quickly.

If your mobile home is newer or still in excellent condition, a roof replacement will be the better option to protect your investment and help provide the longest lifespan possible.

To decide which is best, consider the home's total lifespan, the extent of any immediate damage, the cost of the repair work, and any warranties available for either repairs or replacement. 

Tips to Reduce Cost While Replacing Your Mobile Home Roof

While the cost of replacing your mobile home roof is mainly tied to its unalterable size, there are still a couple of things you can do to help manage costs for your roof replacement project.

• Consider having a professional perform a full roof inspection to determine whether repairing or replacing your roof is the best option.

• Discuss low-cost roofing material options, regardless of the existing roof. You might not need to replace the roof with the exact type of existing material. 

• In some cases, you can overlay your existing mobile home roof with an additional layer of materials. This can reduce the project cost by not having to remove existing material. However, doing this requires a professional evaluation to determine if it's possible. 

Does Mobile Home Roof Replacement Increase Home Value?

You can expect to recoup around 60% to 70% return on investment (ROI) on your mobile home's new roof.  Because mobile homes represent a depreciating asset, replacing the roof if necessary is more of a need than a way to increase its value. However, if you're looking to sell a mobile home that has roof damage, replacing the roof will certainly boost its selling appeal to buyers.
