Get matched with top modular and mobile home remodelers in Portland, ME

The typical mobile home renovation costs around $20,000, with a normal range of $10,000 to $20,000 for a single-wide and $15,000 to $30,000 for a double-wide. Your total will depend on a bunch of factors, including the quality of materials you use (for things like the cost of new mobile home flooring and plumbing fixtures), how much your contractor charges, and the size of your mobile home. The extent of the remodel matters as well. If you’re doing a full gut renovation, you can expect to add between $10,000 and $20,000 to your base price.

Below are some questions we recommend asking a contractor before hiring them for your mobile home remodel:

• Do you specialize in mobile home work? If not, have you done it in the past?

• Are you licensed and fully insured?

• Can you share a list of referrals?

• Will you subcontract any of the work?

• Will you handle permits for the mobile home renovation, if applicable?

You can also ask your contractor about their work and payment schedules, as well as a timeline for the project completion so that you’re both on the same page.

There are a few things you can do to keep your bathroom remodel as affordable as possible in your mobile home:

• Ask your contractor to replace caulk and grout rather than retiling

• Ask your professional to refinish your tub/shower rather than replacing

• Upgrade your sink fixtures rather than replacing the sink

• Upgrade cabinet hardware and ask your remodeler to refinish the cabinets

• Avoid changing the layout of your bathroom

Any professional that does work on a traditional home with a permanent foundation can work on a mobile home as well. However, it’s best to find a company that specializes in mobile home work. Not only will this help ensure your contractor has the experience necessary to get the job done properly, but it will also save you time in the research phase.

Some general contractors, plumbers, and electricians won’t agree to work on mobile homes, even though they’re licensed to, in large part because of the specialized skills needed to anticipate and fix problems that may arise during construction.
