would you know of anyone that remodels mobile homes in the palm harbor florida area we want to buy a particular home that really could use a once over
Hi Doug,
I'm sorry I don't know anyone in that area. Call your local mobile home supply store and ask the clerks for a recommendation. They deal with contractors that work with mobile homes everyday and it's pretty easy to recognize those that understand mobile homes.
Best of luck! Take photos for us!
