Manufactured Home Remodeling A New Look, A Great Investment

Removing interior walls is often the key to achieving the open concept layout that so many people are looking for nowadays. Like with any structure, it's only advisable to remove interior walls if the wall is not load bearing. If the wall does bear some or all of the weight of the structure, talk to your contractor about alternatives.

There are a few factors that determine whether remodeling your home will be worth it, financially speaking.

The age of the home is the most important factor. The older the home, the less likely a remodel will add value. This is largely due to the fact that some older homes were not subject to HUD regulations. Today, manufactured homes are made with higher quality materials and meet HUD standards to ensure value and safety—these quality standards also keep the home from depreciating as quickly as older mobile homes. 

If you have a newer manufactured home, cosmetic upgrades like new flooring, cabinets, counter tops, and appliances can go a long way in increasing the resale value and making the home feel more comfortable. 

It's a familiar trope from home renovation shows: A family begins a major renovation on their home, only to find asbestos in the insulation or wiring that is a fire hazard. Unfortunately, it's a trope that is often true in the real world, too. 

Manufactured home renovations are just as likely to involve hiccups along the way. Fortunately, we've been in the mobile home remodeling industry for many years and have encountered nearly every problem it is possible to have. In addition to doing cosmetic remodeling, we also do plumbing, electrical, and repairs of all sorts, so we are more than capable of handling any problems that may arise during your project.
