Your older mobile home doesn't need replacing if the frame and structure are solid. We handle complete rehabilitations including floor repairs, wall rebuilding, plumbing and electrical updates, and roof work. Quality rehab work extends your home's life by decades at a fraction of replacement cost.

Mobile homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have good bones but outdated interiors and failing systems. Water damage ruins floors, old wiring creates safety hazards, and worn-out plumbing leaks constantly. Most contractors won't touch mobile home rehab because the work requires different methods than stick-built houses. We specialize in bringing older mobile homes back to livable condition. Last year we rehabbed a 1987 double-wide near Rantoul where the bathroom floor had rotted through and the kitchen plumbing leaked into the subfloor. We replaced the entire bathroom floor structure, updated all plumbing to current codes, rebuilt water-damaged walls, and rewired half the home. The owners got a renovated home for $25,000 instead of buying a new one for $80,000. If your mobile home's frame and roof structure are sound, rehabilitation makes financial sense and gives you years of additional use.
Water damage and age cause mobile home floors to rot, sag, or develop soft spots. We remove damaged flooring and subfloor sections, treat the frame for rust or corrosion, install new subfloor materials rated for mobile homes, and finish with new flooring. Floor repairs require working in tight spaces under the home and matching existing floor heights. We handle everything from small bathroom repairs to complete floor replacements.
Older mobile homes have outdated plumbing that leaks and wiring that doesn't meet current codes. We replace galvanized pipes with PEX or copper, update drain lines, install new fixtures, and bring electrical systems up to code. Updated systems pass inspections, reduce utility bills, and eliminate safety hazards. We're licensed plumbers familiar with mobile home-specific plumbing and electrical configurations.
Complete interior renovations include wall repair or replacement, ceiling work, cabinet installation, and finish carpentry. We fix wall sections damaged by water or age, replace outdated paneling with drywall, repair ceiling damage, and rebuild rotted wall studs. Structural repairs address frame issues, roof leaks, and exterior wall problems. You get a renovated interior that looks modern and functions properly.
Inspection and Scope Development
We inspect your mobile home to identify all problem areas, check for hidden damage, and assess structural soundness. You tell us what bothers you most and what your budget allows. We photograph everything, take measurements, and create a detailed scope of work. You get a written estimate breaking down each repair phase with pricing and timeline.
Demolition and Structural Repairs
We remove damaged materials, expose underlying problems, and complete structural repairs first. Rotted floor joists get replaced, damaged walls get rebuilt, and plumbing or electrical issues get addressed. This phase reveals hidden problems that weren't visible during inspection. We keep you informed about any additional work needed and get approval before proceeding.
Finish Work and Final Inspection
After structural repairs are complete, we install new flooring, hang and finish drywall, paint walls, install fixtures, and complete trim work. Systems get tested to verify everything works correctly. You walk through with us to review completed work. We provide documentation of repairs and updated systems for your records and future resale.

Basic rehabilitations covering floor repairs, plumbing updates, and cosmetic work cost $15,000 to $30,000. Extensive rehabs involving structural repairs, complete electrical rewiring, and full interior renovation run $30,000 to $60,000. Costs depend on damage extent and which systems need updating. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your home and discussing your goals.
Rehabilitation makes sense if your home's frame, roof structure, and exterior walls are solid. A quality rehab costs 30-50% of buying a comparable used home and much less than buying new. Homes with extensive frame damage, severe roof deterioration, or major settling issues may not be worth rehabilitating. We assess your home honestly and recommend repair or replacement based on actual conditions.
Minor rehabilitations take 2 to 4 weeks, while extensive projects require 6 to 12 weeks. Timeline depends on work scope, material availability, and inspection requirements. We provide realistic schedules during planning and update you regularly throughout the project. Most homeowners can stay in the home during work if we're not doing extensive floor repairs.
Yes, we specialize in mobile home floor repairs including water damage. We remove damaged flooring and subfloor, treat or replace affected frame members, install moisture barriers, and rebuild the floor structure. Water damage often extends beyond visible areas, so we inspect thoroughly before starting repairs. Catching floor damage early prevents more expensive structural problems.
Major rehabilitation work including electrical, plumbing, and structural repairs typically requires permits. We determine which permits are needed based on your project scope and handle applications with local building departments. Permit requirements vary by county and work type. Working without required permits risks code violations and problems when selling your home.
