Expert Roofing for Mobile and Manufactured Homes
Mobile homes (also referred to as manufactured homes) don’t follow the same roofing standards as site-built houses. The framing, pitch, and structural load limits are different, and not every roofing contractor has the experience to get the job done right.
At Whiting Roofing, we’ve worked on mobile and manufactured home roofs across South Florida and know exactly what it takes to make them last.
Our team specializes in mobile home roofing systems, including flat, low-slope, and retrofitted pitched roofs. We offer roofing solutions that meet Florida’s building codes, holds up to coastal weather, and keeps your home dry, safe, and energy-efficient. Whether you’re looking for a full roof replacement, a cost-effective roof-over, or a weatherproof coating, we’re here to get it done right.

Our Mobile Home & Manufactured Home Roofing Services
Sometimes, patching and minor repairs won’t be enough to maintain your roofs health. If your mobile home roof is at the end of its lifespan, severely damaged, or showing signs of structural weakness, replacement is often the best option. Most mobile home roof replacements can be completed in one to two days once permits are in place.
Re-Roofing
A roof-over involves installing a new roofing system directly over the existing one. It’s common on mobile homes because it avoids a tear-off, reduces labor costs, and adds a layer of insulation. But not every home qualifies. We check weight load, tie-down integrity, ventilation, and clearance before recommending this approach.
If your roof is still structurally sound but showing signs of wear (small leaks, rusted seams, lifting panels) we can repair those issues quickly and affordably. We also offer maintenance programs, especially for homes in shaded or humid areas where algae, moss, and pooling can speed up deterioration.
Coatings are one of the smartest upgrades you can make to an aging mobile home roof. They’re affordable, energy-efficient, and extend the life of your roof without a full replacement. If your roof’s structure is sound and the surface is prepped properly, a high-quality coating can last 10–15 years and dramatically lower your indoor temperatures.
Types of Mobile Home Roofs We Install and Repair
Mobile and manufactured homes are often built with lighter framing and lower structural loads, which limits the type of roofing materials that can be safely installed. The roofs tend to be flat or low-pitched, which makes them more vulnerable to ponding water. In South Florida, that combination means heat, humidity, and hurricane-force winds are all working against your roof.
Florida also has strict codes for manufactured housing, including specific requirements for wind zones and tie-down systems. That’s especially critical here in Palm Beach County. If your roof doesn’t meet those requirements, it can affect everything from insurance coverage to resale value.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has become a top choice for Florida mobile homeowners. It’s lightweight, sheds water fast, and shrugs off wind, sun, and algae. We install high-quality aluminum or galvanized steel panels with energy-saving coatings that reflect sunlight and lower attic temps. Available in several profiles and colors to fit classic or modern home styles.
Single-Ply Membranes (TPO, PVC, EPDM)
If you want a cool, energy-efficient roof that won’t weigh down your home, single-ply membranes are worth a look. TPO, PVC, and EPDM are all flexible, waterproof, and designed to handle ponding water. These systems are welded or adhered directly to the roof deck, creating a seamless, low-maintenance barrier against leaks. We use commercial-grade products designed for Florida conditions.
Shingle Roofing
While not always the best fit for every mobile home, asphalt shingle roofs can work well on newer or reinforced models with a decent pitch. They’re affordable, familiar, and come in a range of colors. We make sure the structure is sound and install shingles according to Florida wind standards.
Our Mobile Home Roofing Process
We’ve streamlined our process to keep things clear, fast, and disruption-free. Here’s what you can expect when you work with Whiting Roofing:
Initial Inspection and Consultation
We start with a free inspection, checking for leaks, structural issues, and anything that could shorten your roof’s lifespan. Our team looks at insulation, ventilation, roof deck condition, and compliance with local codes.
You’ll get a clear explanation of what we find, with photos and straightforward recommendations in a written quote with itemized materials, project timeline, and warranty details. We answer every question and explain your options without rushing you.
Roof System Recommendation
Our estimator helps you choose a roof system that fits your structure, budget, and energy goals. We’ll tell you what makes sense, what’s code-approved, and what will last. For park residents, we coordinate with management if necessary. For investors, we can quote multiple units with quantity discounts.
Project Execution
If the roof needs to be removed, we’ll protect your home and property during the tear-off. We order materials from trusted brands like GAF, Mule-Hide, or Firestone, depending on the chosen system. Our crews are trained in mobile/manufactured home installation techniques, so you don’t have to worry about sagging or code violations. We protect landscaping, minimize noise, and work efficiently so your routine stays on track.
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
We clean up all debris, sweep the area, and walk the roof with you for a final check. You’ll get warranty paperwork, a care sheet, and our direct contact info for follow-up questions.
Mobile Home Roofing Regulations in Florida
Manufactured homes use lighter framing and rely on long panel seams that run the full width of the structure. If those seams lose their seal, wind can lift an entire section in one afternoon thunderstorm. Our team measures panel thickness, fastener spacing, and factory adhesive lines so repairs last the life of the roof.
Our mobile home roofing solutions stay current with:
- HUD construction standards for manufactured housing
- Florida Building Code Section 15C, which governs mobile home roofing
- Wind Zone classifications, especially for coastal counties
- Anchoring systems and tie-down inspection protocols
- Permitting requirements specific to mobile home parks
We’re fully licensed and insured, and we’ve helped hundreds of mobile homeowners across Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties stay safe and compliant. From permitting to tie-downs to hurricane strap retrofits, we know what it takes to meet state and local codes. We’re familiar with local permitting offices and community restrictions, and we’ll help you stay compliant at every step.

FAQs About EPDM Roofing
It depends on the material. Single-ply membranes and metal systems can last 15–30 years with care. Coated roofs last 10 to 15 years with proper upkeep. Full metal panel systems can exceed 40 years.
Yes. Florida requires roofing permits for mobile and manufactured homes. We handle the permitting process, including engineering approvals if needed for structural upgrades.
White TPO membrane or light-colored metal roofing offer excellent reflectivity, reducing heat gain. Coated roofs can also help if your current system is structurally sound but underperforming.
It depends on the cause of the damage and your policy. If your roof was damaged by wind or hail, it may be covered. We can assist with documentation and photos for your claim.
