Custom Deck Construction for Mobile Homes

Your mobile home needs safe, code-compliant deck access that handles weather and daily use. We design and build custom decks using treated lumber, proper footings, and railings that meet local building codes. You get outdoor living space and a sturdy entrance that lasts for years.

Most mobile homes sit higher off the ground than stick-built houses, making a quality deck necessary for safe entry and outdoor space. Poorly built decks sag, wobble, or fail inspections because the framing attaches wrong or footings settle unevenly. We design decks sized for your home and property, pour concrete footings below frost line, and build frames that distribute weight correctly. Railings meet code height and spacing requirements. A family near Decatur bought a home with a deck that bounced when you walked on it. The previous owner used deck blocks instead of footings and attached the ledger board with nails instead of lag bolts. We tore it down, poured proper footings, and rebuilt a deck that passed inspection. A well-built deck adds value and gives you usable outdoor space without worrying about safety or structural problems.

Our Deck Construction for Mobile Homes Service Includes:

Standard Entry Decks

Entry decks provide safe access to your mobile home's front or back door. We build these 6 to 12 feet deep with stairs, railings, and proper attachment to your home's frame. Standard entry decks use pressure-treated lumber, galvanized hardware, and concrete footings. Most run 8x12 or 10x12 feet, giving you room to open the door and step outside comfortably.

Wrap-Around and Large Decks

Larger decks extend along one or more sides of your mobile home, creating outdoor living space for furniture, grills, and gatherings. We design these with multiple access points, built-in benches, or planter boxes if you want them. Wrap-around decks require additional footings and structural planning to handle weight distribution. These projects take longer but significantly expand your usable outdoor area.

Deck Repairs and Replacements

Existing decks often need repair when boards rot, railings loosen, or footings settle. We replace damaged decking boards, reinforce wobbly railings, and add missing hardware. If your deck frame is compromised, we recommend replacement rather than patching problems that will fail again. Complete rebuilds cost more upfront but eliminate ongoing maintenance headaches and safety concerns.

Our Simple 3-STEP Deck Construction for Mobile Homes PROCESS

1

Design and Planning

We measure your home's entry height, evaluate property slope, and discuss your size and layout preferences. You tell us how you'll use the deck and we design accordingly. We show you material options and explain what meets code in your area. You get a written estimate covering materials, labor, permit fees, and construction timeline.

2

Foundation and Framing

We mark footing locations, dig below frost line, and pour concrete footings with proper hardware. Once concrete cures, we build the deck frame using appropriate joist spacing and attachment methods. The ledger board bolts securely to your home's frame. Joists get properly spaced and braced. Everything gets inspected before we install decking.

3

Decking, Railings, and Finishing

After framing passes inspection, we install deck boards with proper spacing for drainage and expansion. Railings go up next, meeting code requirements for height and baluster spacing. Stairs get built with correct rise and run measurements. We apply stain or sealant if requested. You walk the completed deck with us to verify everything meets your expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How much does a mobile home deck cost?

Basic entry decks cost $2,500 to $5,000 depending on size and height off the ground. Larger decks or wrap-around designs run $5,000 to $12,000 or more. Costs increase with deck size, height above ground, railing complexity, and material choices. We provide detailed estimates after measuring your home and discussing your needs.

Do I need a permit to build a deck on my mobile home?

Yes, most counties require building permits for decks over a certain height or size. Permits ensure your deck meets structural codes and safety requirements. We handle permit applications and schedule required inspections. Building without permits risks fines and problems when selling your property later.

How long does it take to build a mobile home deck?

Standard entry decks take 3 to 5 days from start to finish, including footing cure time. Larger or more complex decks take 7 to 10 days. Weather delays construction, especially during footing work. We provide realistic timelines during the planning phase and keep you updated if delays occur.

What type of wood is best for mobile home decks?

Pressure-treated lumber is the standard choice because it resists rot and insect damage. We use ground-contact rated lumber for posts and framing near soil. Decking boards can be pressure-treated pine, cedar, or composite materials. Cedar costs more but looks better and resists weathering naturally. Composite decking costs the most but requires minimal maintenance.

How do you attach a deck to a mobile home safely?

Proper attachment uses lag bolts driven into your home's main frame beams, not just the floor joists or siding. We locate frame beams, drill pilot holes, and install bolts with washers for secure connection. The ledger board distributes weight across multiple attachment points. Poor attachment causes decks to pull away from homes, creating dangerous gaps and structural failure.
