Melissa and Brian have several rental properties and needed to find their daughter a new home in her college town that was 3 hours away. They purchased a property with 1 home and 2 single wide mobile homes. The mobile homes were in awful condition, yet they saw the potential, which is the one department most people lack in. They were able to complete an amazing mobile home transformation we had to share.

Check out their blog called “Melissa and Brian’s Great DIY Adventure!“

It doesn’t matter what you got, it’s what you will have when you knock the dirt off!

This Couple Was Able to See Past the Mess

I give full accolades to these two DIYer’s. They saw what could be and went after it. Here is what one of the mobile homes looked like in the beginning:

From The Ground Up

Melissa and Brian knew what to spend the money on and what not to and in this case, they knew to start fresh. They completely gutted the mobile home’s and started from the floor up.

They replaced everything! The inside went through a magnificent change. Here’s the photo’s to prove it:

One of the best part’s of this renovation is how they updated the roof. I’ve seen this done several times and I love the look. If replacing your mobile home’s roof is on your to-do list, this idea may save you money and make adding an addition much easier, too.

By framing over the original roof you have minimal trash and less manpower needed. You simply frame on an angle (to be determined by a professional) and then add the popular standing seam metal roofing panels and box it in. Metal roofing is a lot cheaper than shingles, at least in my neck of the woods.

The transformation both inside and out is amazing. The rental income that they can get from this has probably tripled and they will get every dime they spent on the remodel back several times over. The fact that they have 2 mobile homes on one piece of property doubles their income. The neighborhood has gained at least a couple percentage points in equity, too.

So much can be achieved when an older mobile home gets updated! This mobile home transformation proves it!

I hope this gives you some inspiration for your own mobile home remodel. That’s what Mobile & Manufactured Home Living is all about!
