Thank you so very much for this video! I'm 68 years old, and my husband is disabled so I get to do ALL maintenance on our "older" single wide as well as care for our 5 acres. I can't find anyone to hire to do this type of work. I'm grateful for your detailed instructions AND that you're to the point! I love hearing about dogs, children, life stories, etc., but NOT on an instructional video! Thank you!
OUTSTANDING quality workmanship!!! No corners cut here at all!!
THIS is the type of company you want working on your home!
After living in my 14x76 mobile home on my own lot near a lake with trees in Texas possums are a real problem digging under the skirting. I have lived in several mobile homes in years past and when they are set on a cement slab that extends out past the skirting, rodents won't dig under the home. Unfortunately, I bought this property and the home was already on it and no slab was installed first. Therefore, I have every kind of rodent digging holes under the house. They are nocturnal and only come out at night. I would recommend anyone placing a mobile home on land to lay a cement slab down first and extend it out past the skirting. The cost is definitely worth it because It is a real pain dealing with animals under your house.
Nice job. It's hard for me to find people out here that actually do this and take as much time and care as you do.
I have watched a ton of video on this very technique and this is the first time I have had someone explain what they were doing. Thank you.
I need to replace my skirting soon and as a mobile home owner for 3+ decades, I can say without a doubt this is one of the best examples of how to install a high quality skirting solution. I'm defiantly going to follow this example next spring. Thanks for the video!
This guy makes it look ez pz I had no idea so much went into this. Excellent workmanship
Holy smokes ,does That ever make it look great. Such a nice finished line to the eye and it's rodent proofed too! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Your attention to detail is second to none..... I wish I could afford someone like you to do mine some day.
OMG my husband is going to enjoy watching this. your work is clean cut. thanks for shairing.
Thank you do much for this video. My son is in the process of purchasing a manufactured home and needs to do this before they can close. This step by step video will enable him to do this. Great job!
this finished up very nicely. great job.
THE FOLKS WHO COME BEHIND YOU WILL APPRECIATE YOU WERE WATCHING OUT FOR THEM. NICE JOB!
You don't know how helpful this was! I had no idea how to replace the horrible, broken plastic "skirting" job on my home. They used corrugated plastic roofing panels. Thank you!!!
Did you make a video to share ?
I framed it with pressure treated plywood, then added faux stone panels to it.
This was super helpful. My husband and I were considering trying to do this ourselves and your video has convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is worth paying a professional! I have trouble sometimes screwing on a new doorknob….
Thanks for watching!
Tha k you forthis vexio. Thanks thanks. Ps what co would do this type of work
Wow!!!! Nice. I wish I can hire this guy when I purchase my mobile home.
Me too
This is an amazing alternative. I’ve hit vandalism by kids, soccer playing teenagers , & theft of skirting pieces going in. It’s driving me nuts. This looks pretty expensive though. But the detailed instructions are great.
Your attention to detail is inspiring.
Thank you, appreciate it.
totally concise and perfect job. Done so anybody can follow, and done to last and be very functional. Rodent proof is often overlooked but will return to haunt you if you omitt these rodent-proofing steps. Nice job, nice looking, and totally functional.
Nice job. It's important to have that plastic on the ground to keep the ground moisture out. The whole job will make for a comfortable place to live. 👍👍
Unbelievable nice work you take pride
This is a great video, thank you so much. It prepares a person for what is involved in new skirting. I as well as the other commenters have a difficult time finding anyone to do needed work correctly in rural areas. Most are young men that are trying to learn a trade but doing so to maximize their profit and using every stort cut possible to save them money. They count on you not knowing anything about how
This is a good idea to keep rodents out and dogs from breaking through the vinyl chasing for some rats or sometimes from dogs seeking cooler environment specially during summer.. i have to keep fixing my vinyl skirting because my GS dogs keeps breaking it. Tnx for this video!!!
Straight to the point video. Well done
That's a nice tidy job it looks good next to the grey walls
Thank you. One of the more secure designs.
This is an excellent job and looks super sharp.
Super happy to have seen this! Its going to help me in the near future. Thanks for the share.
Thanks for watching!
Great video - wish my contractors did this - no rodent barrier - no insulation- just plywood skirting - now that it is -36 Celsius in Northern Alberta - hope my pipes don't freeze
Mercy!!
That’s where the home owner (client ) tells them what they expect / want. I’m a contractor and I do jobs according to what the client has asked me to price . Just like this video the steps has no landing by code where I am at steps must have a landing where you come out the door. Plus I saw no ventilation that can cause dry rot and condensation.
@@danbailey96 I was wondering about it not having ventilation, but not being a contractor myself thought maybe it's different in different climates/zones.
@@danbailey96 disagee. What about a first time homeowner that really doesnt know ANY thing about ANY of that? Seems to me there is a right way and a wrong way to do something and you as a proffessional in my opinion do what you know is RIGHT and explain that in the quote. If they feel they can get the job done the RIGHT way for less than thats where they get a second or third quote and then compare what is being omitted in the quote that is less or more. Ya cant know whats the right way unless you look at the situation and can think of the climate of location and know what it necessitates. Thats like " buyer be ware" people put their faith in these people to do a job in their field of expertise. If I knew anything about it. Id be doing it myself!!!!
Double up on heat tape strips (one on each side of the main) wrap it all with extra thick insulation, use one strip most times, but power them both on when it is very cold or leave a tap open a bit to prevent freezing.
That is the best under pinning job I've seen. Nice work.
Thanks!
Thank you. I WILL be using this video for inspiration and tips as I have been thinking of a way to enclose/skirt the bottom of our new 4 season cottage in Canada. Both for warmth and to keep the critters out. I will be adding foam or silver roll bubble insulation on the inside as well. The only issue I might have is that it is built on clay and the ground might shift during the freeze/thaw cycle. The cottage is being built on helical piers.
Beautiful ❤ excellent job! It just needs it's venting and it would be perfect
Awesome video!
Being a plumber I like access doors on both ends of the building? Nice job!
Thanks for watching!
Where I live they are cheap asses. Great job, I am going to have this done
Great job Paul I learn everything you show us
Thank you!
Looks amazing and you are quick and to the point. I have to meet FHA guideline for underpinning an area added onto the back of a home I'm flipping. Seems pointless to me because the area is 6 feet in and then it hits the solid concrete foundation. However, I'm going to knock it out tomorrow in much less time thanks to your video.
Nice skirting install! Thanks for sharing this! 💯
Best skirting job I have ever seen on a mobile home, beautiful job, thanks for sharing!! Makes the plastic lattice skirting on the single wide I just bought, look totally Mickey Mouse 🤣 Guess I’ll have more work ahead 😁
Q: What was the tool you used to cut the metal? Tks
This is a quality job… I would love to have this done to my place but it would be highly unlikely & may I say nearly impossible that I would find any contractor who would perform the job like this guy has! Bravo
Beautiful job !!
Hermoso trabajo 👌👌 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱👌💯
Nice neat work, very nice job. I would be perfectly happy with that work.
Thank you!!! Very informative and professional!!
Thanks for watching!
Good work and an eye for details as usual!
Thank you!
Isn't ventilation required? I love the look of the prorib!
Yes
That is what I was wondering
I wish there was an intelligent response given to your question as this seems crucial and like a grave mistake this video has not considered... Another youtube-expert classes that will leave many very upset is my best guess here.
I AM VERY IMPRESSED. GREAT WORK!
Glad you like it!
Great job!
Nice install. Thanks for showing the work.
Thanks for watching
Beautiful job.
Thank you!
Best underpinning job I've seen yet, gonna save this incase I feel like doing something like this to my dwide in the future. Looks good, should help on power bill a good bit, too. And, keep from those pesky pipes freezing every winter.
Nice job
Looks great👍
This is pretty dialed. The flashing to detour rodents is perfection. Love to hire you and fly you to Truckee in Lake Tahoe to re-wrap my mobile-home along with additional needed exterior work.
wow I lucked out when I got my doublewide- they already put a decent brick and mortar skirt around it. It has little or nothing to do with the building holding it up but is definitely an expensive upgrade if you had to pay someone to do it. It comes with permanent vents with screens the can close for winter and an access to crawl under there. I got rid of the central heat and air that was needing to be replaced. Just a woodstove and room heaters. Window unit a/c's. Hot and cold water lines replaced and put inside the house on the ceiling so no more crawling under it for maintenance or freezing! I hate going under there and now I don't need to.
I've installed metal skirting on mobile homes for 23 years I like using metal studs for my framing but yours does look good
Thanks!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting
Trims up nice! I am curious what the cost difference would be for a poured crawl space and what you did with lumber prices.
Most videos on this subject just replace the trashy thin siding with new trashy siding. This is great. Only question that others have asked - shouldn't there be ventilation?
thank you for shearing
I've been trying to figure out the best option for replacing the ragged vinyl skirting on the 30 year old trailer I recently acquired. What you did looks great! Now how do I slide the vapor barrier under it? 🤣
BEAUTIFUL JOB ‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Thank you!
Thank you for the video! I found it extremely helpful.
Awesome job.
you did an awesome job!
that is just beautiful!
Excellent video! Thank you!!
Wow it looks awesome another great quality job done by you. Nice job stay safe and be well Bob Bitchin!!
Thank you!
Great video and work. Here in Oregon we now have to be a minimum of 3 feet high, get a high rise water analysis by an engineer done, and have floodgates installed. Permits are so hard to get here and take so long. It seems they don't want anyone to build anything but corporations. I hope if we EVER get a permit they will do this quality of work.
As always great work
That exactly what I need to do at my home.
Looks great
Wow that's nice work my friend
Probably the most detailed skirting video I've seen. ? Why no vents!. How do you have acces door held in twist latches. This is how I will redo ours plus add 2" owens pink poly and 12" patio block as edging to keep mower away from skirting.
Best video on RUclips on this subject, thank you for the detailed info and you did an excellent job.
Thanks!
Great rodent-proofing technique. Thank you.
Looks real good!
Thank you!
Wish you were in my area. Great video. Thanks.
Fabulous job
Great ideas!
Very nice work!
Very useful, nice work 👍🏼
Very good work
Really nice and excelent skirting for mobile home, i love the way how you make this project amazing. If you have time can you share the list or how to order the steel for this project.
I am about to move a home and would like to rodent proof it as well. This video will help me a bunch. thank you
Hi there I wanted to thank you so much for your video. I've always seen skirting on mobile homes and it looks so gross but the way you did the one on the house there looked really pretty. We are looking for a double wide to put on some land we own and we are going to have to do the skirting before we put a permanent foundation so this video was really really helpful thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great job !!
This video shows exactly what I want done when I purchase mines thanks alot this is done right the way is supposed to be done😁👍....I wonder what state he's in may I can hire him to do mines😀
I’m going to be doing this on my cabin

Beautiful work my friend!
Thank you!
👍
Excellent video 👍
