Mobile homes make up a sizable portion of residences in the greater Snohomish area. Like a traditional home, mobile living units require a durable roof. What are your options for mobile home roof materials? Are the selections more limited than those for traditional homes?

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are a mainstay in conventional homes with a sloped roof. They are also available for mobile homes. There is one major difference, though. Installing a second or even a third layer over existing shingles is common practice during renovations and repairs on conventional housing. However, only a single layer is allowed in a mobile home. If the roof requires replacement, all of the existing shingles need to be removed.

Slate Shingles

Slate shingles are beloved for their beautiful natural stone look. By no means do they look out of place for a mobile home. They are also incredibly durable, lasting 80 to 100 years and also hold up well against humidity and wind. Slate is quite heavy, though, so you’ll need to verify that your mobile home can support the weight of this material.

Metal Roofing

Metal is highly durable and requires little maintenance. However, depending on the construction of the mobile home, metal roofing may not be a good fit. If the architecture is composed mainly of 2×2-foot lumber, for example, then metal panels might not work.

Composite Roofs

Composite roof shingles resemble traditional asphalt or slate shingles but are made from composite material like rubber and polymer. They are typically lighter weight and also more affordable. The light weight, though, gives them a lower wind resistance rating. However, if installers adhere to strict installation protocol, this shouldn’t be a major concern.
