- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this video our 1984 single wide mobile home gets a huge facelift and update. We get rid of the almost 40 year old tin siding and replace it with modern vinyl siding. This is a really big improvement. If you can do the work yourself it is a very inexpensive project to do and the difference it makes to the look of your home is amazing.

finally someone that know how to do a mobile home right with flashing and tyvek thnks i was just saying why people dont do this. and i run across yours. perfect greatjob.
That looks better that a new one from the dealer
Excellent job..putting this type of siding on the manufacture home makes it look more like a traditional home
Thank you for sharing🥰
Geraldine, thank you. 🙂
The mobile home is looking beautiful. There is such an improvement from what you started with. And I love the lights and the warm light bulbs softens the white siding. Very nice.
Suzanne, thank you. 🙂 The wood trim that I am going to add is going to soften the siding and introduce some warm, natural wood.
Looking fantastic, Kent! I like the wall sconces, they add more visual interest than the recessed lights.
Gena, thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting. 🙂
Very nice looking home and the lighting is beautiful much better than the recessed lighting..... warmer looking. And I really don’t have any idea about the wood accent but looking forward and can’t wait to see see!!
aquarium aquarium, thanks! 🙂
I like the lighting choice.
Looks Terrific! This home exterior now looks (and in reality is) like a NEW home... probably much better than many new mobile homes on the market! Wow!
jb, thanks! 🙂
This vid is best I've seen on siding. The best way
Jeff, thanks.
Outside sconces are a good choice. 👍👍
Randy, thanks.
its sharp, crisp ,clean, beautiful! love the light1
Absolutely beautiful… you have such a talent!
Dog walker, thank you! 🙂
Wow!! I hadn't been viewing for a bit, but I am amazed how far you've come along! I am redoing my mobile as well and gain so much from your insight! Looks Great, Quality job. I cannot wait to see inside work being done. BTW Love the sconces!!! Wow!
Thank you, Harry. I'm really looking forward to getting to work inside. 🙂
Shutters lights are beautiful.
nadine, 🙂
You made that a very nice looking place. This 95 mobile home I'm in has a ton of work needed and the outriggers are sagging with the center hump. This place wasn't maintained. No plastic on the ground under it for over 20 years and on clay. Never dries out less than 98% humidity under there. Eventually I'll build a house to replace it, IF building materials cost and availability ever return to at least somewhat normal. I'm hoping for an economic crash in 2023. Very beneficial to the do it yourselfer. Until then I'm in this mobile home. 🤷
I know it's not done yet but it's so beautiful already!
AmraphelofShinar, thank you! We are getting there, slow but sure. 🙂
Looks amazing as always Kent.
Randy, thanks! 🙂 I'm getting into those old files for the info you are after. Hang in there!
I can watch these educational. Videos all day
I love your color combo...very modern and looks brand new.
What a nice home remodel !!
For those who don't know, 3200 Kelvin is what's refered to. Kelvin is color temperature of an LED or bulb.
I think 3200K is perfect for this application.
A great looking job and excellent attention to detail.
I have been following a RUclips channel where a young couple is restoring an older mobile home. They are located in Florda and I was surprised to see that there was no sheathing on the mobile home right from the factory. The walls were constructed of 2x3 lumber (not even 2x4 s) and the metal siding was attached directly to the studs. There also was no vapour barrier between the studs and siding either. The roof trusses were mainly made out of 2x2 lumber and there was no sheathing on the roof, just galvanized metal. They had a lot of rotted wood to replace, especially around the doors, windows, and sills. This trailer will be really nice when you are finished with it. I just discovered this channel so I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos on this project.
Looks brilliant and built better than new.
Very nice work wish more people took pride in their work it shows
It look amazing thank you for sharing..enjoy your day
annebellette201, thank you. 🙂
@@BCRenovationMagazine you have a great day
I've been watching for a while now. Awesome work you do.
Red Panda Bus- Adventures in Life!, thank you. Appreciate you watching and commenting. 🙂
I love renovating and reusing instead of disposal however, is it financial more expensive to renovate as opposed to buying new? Thank you.
Sandra, it really depends on where you are. In our case, where we are, housing is very expensive. If you can do a lot of the work yourself it is way, way less to renovate than buy new. This home will be sold when it is done, With me doing the work, I make my profit when I sell. Whomever buys this home will buy it for less than a comparable new home, and this one will be nicer, having more custom touches than a typical new home. It just depends on the housing market in your area.
@@BCRenovationMagazine thank you. I live on Vancouver island, we are looking at properties north of Nanaimo with old mobile homes, wondering if we should renovate or just get a new one,
Love to see the inside
Love the outdoor lights.
KarenB, thank you. 🙂
Awesome work! Thanks so much for posting!
dkb13, thank you. 🙂
You did am Amazing, Professional job remodeling this house.. Love this house.. Keep up your Wonderful Talent I'm Remodeling these Mobile homes... YouRock!!Everything about the house is perfect...
Wonderful job🎉
Thank you for sharing. This gives me some ideas. My mobile home has the Masonite pressed fiber board that I have to paint otherwise it crumbles. This looks excellent. I am redoing my roof and it is a ton of work trying to insulate.
Great job.
Ranakia, thank you. Appreciate you watching and commenting. 🙂
Beautiful job
Amazing work
Kevin, thank you. 🙂
The price is not bad. My problem is getting someone to do it. Thank you for sharing!
Very informative video, Kent! I learned so much. Wow, what a beauty this home has become. Thanks for giving all of your expertise and knowledge on all things siding.. and lighting too! I love the sconces! Looking forward to seeing what you do to the interior. Great work so far! Oh and the fall scenery with the changing color of leaves was beautiful!
Hi, Wanda. Thank you. 🙂 We had a really nice fall here this year. It made up for the cold, rainey late spring we had.
This little home is in a pretty nice spot. It's on a quiet, dead end street down by a creek. I almost feel like I'm going to a little cottage at the lake.
There is a good vibe down there. 🙂
@@BCRenovationMagazine Oh, how lovely! I am all for good vibes, quiet cottages and colorful leaves! Snow is a bonus haha.. Unfortunately the sun came out blazing and melt all of our snow. So sad.
Looks really good , you’re work always has that pro look Ken. It’s good to see you back, always look forward to your video’s and this one was the longest you’ve done in awhile
Thank you, Mark. The kind comments are always much appreciated. 🙂
I so enjoyed your video..I might be buying an older manufactured home so your demonstration and how-to is great for me watch..I always like to be prepared..your sconces are perfect and they are modern to give the home a new look..I do have one question and I have seen this on other homes whether stick or mobile..the deck size seems so too small for the in and out of the doors..I guess it's my preference that the decking for any door cover more distance so one doesn't feel cramped when arms are full of stuff or trying to get pets in and out..I just think the decks should at least 36" or more on each side of an entry door..thanks for the great explanations..take care!
Looks wonderful.
Great job thanks for sharing.
Love how you cross all your t's and dot all you i's...so through.wish you where close to. TN.
Nice work
I have watched you video and I’am impressed,
I have a two questions,
1) did you under pin the skirting ?
2) how do you remove the skirting for maintenance?
Wow…❤❤❤❤very nice
Very nice !!!!
I love the sconce lights. I’ll be looking for those at Costco for a mobile home I’m remodeling in Florida. Your home is looking great! Can’t wait to see what you do on the inside
Hi, Tammy. Thank you. Search for Artika Meteor. They are readily available at various outlets here in Canada. Not sure about availability in the States. These are really nice lamps for the money. All metal, no plastic. Real glass.

What Beautiful Work You Do
Susan, thank you. 🙂
Beautiful treed lot and great job on the home. Watching from NC
gold blueberries, thank you. 🙂
another great video, thanks for the informative discussion.
Jerry, thank you. 🙂
Very nice
Amazing job and very well explained!!, thank you for sharing!! 👏🏼
I'm guessing your natural wood look and 4th coler will be wooden shutters.
The sconse Led lights are the way to go....they look great.
The siding job is very impressive...many great tips on how & why.
👍
David, thanks! 🙂
Plz teach the how tos! The skirt is perfectly perfect
One thing that I am doing is having a gap between the siding for a rain screen. This last year it poured rain in California and according to The Build Show with Matt Reisinger this is the best way to get moisture out of the walls.
Been nice if you would have put fanfold insulation before the siding-add a little R-value.
You are awsome
Looks great! One question, where does the water go on the bottom J trim? Just fill up and run out wherever it can? Thanks for the video.
Hi, Rick. Thanks. The water drains out of the J trim at the joints.
Do you have a video about the skirting?
How do you handle the water coming off of that hill? House looks like it sits in a bowl? Nice job, it looks great...
Do you the video of installing the windows?
Post a video how u did the trusses
Great job as always! Question...considering you have to go months without putting house wrap on the home, how does the rain effect the uncovered osb?
Hi, Nick. It doesn't seem to bother it too much. OSB is made with exterior grade resins so it is somewhat water resistant. If water doesn't sit on it, like on a vertical wall, it seems to be OK. Some discoloring will occur, which you will notice on the lower part of the wall around the back door, where water splashed off the deck onto the wall, but that area remained sound.
Oh ok thanks...ive always wondered about that
I love in Florida can you recommend someone that can work on my mobile home. Thank you
What type of skirting material did you use ?
How much for a job like that?
Price plz. An estimated one for 14 by 64. 1974 Cameron mh
Nice work. I have a question re: where does your rain water go? I have a ditch in front of my place but the rainwater from the street fills it, & the rainwater that comes from my house down the downspouts down the slopes after paying to have a french drain put in bc the ditch is closer to the street it fills & pushes the water back up my slope toward the house. What can i do to fix this issue since the contractors i hired didnt do the job right. Im in rainy northern Florida too. Thx
What sizes are the decks?
moviemakerwannabe, the main deck is 9x16. 9 is kind of an odd measurement but had to squeeze the deck, steps and lower landing into a defined space.
The back deck is 6 wide by 8 long.
@@BCRenovationMagazine Cool thank you! We are looking to build a 6 by 8 deck in the next month or two. The tips you've given will help us.
@@moviemakerwannabe , you're welcome. I set that smaller back deck up to have room for a BBQ. I figured it would be a good place, close to the kitchen.
Looks nice great job, have you upgraded the roof yet?
Did you remove the metal roof? If not what did you put between the metal and plywood/osb? Or will it not sweat? I have a metal rooved mobile i would love to do this to.
Hi, Bev. The old metal roof was mostly left behind. The original metal has a layer of foam on the underside. That, combined with proper attic ventilation should prevent any condensation from occurring.
I have a question for you have you ever used the viynl log siding? When you use it it make my windows sit in how would I do it or would it be fine? They are all new wallside windows and are trimmed. Just j channel around them? Will water shed
lovethe eagles, sorry, I can't answer your question. I have never used the product you mention and I am not familiar with it. Good luck with your project. 🙂
Prefer the sconses.
I would like to know I would like a mobile home makeover & would like this man to do it . Anybody know who this guy is , so I can get his information ?
Looks nice. Where did you get your material? It is a very challenging trying to get good material from our 2 dominant building material businesses in our area. Unfortunate they have run off our lumber yards.
You just revealed why the difference. Your in Canada. I hope they make it more available in California. I will probably have to look on the internet sites of Lowes and Home Depot to see what they have available.
Is the bottom flashing from being sharp?
Hello kent..i am asking for multiple opinions...i have 3/4 solid hardwood in my single wide...i am also planning on tiling both my shower walls...i want to put osb and possibly LP smartside on my home...my question is do you think my walls qould sag because of the weight? If so what woukd you recommend for wall support? Cinder block piers around the perimeter or maybe 2x4s standing vertical?
Hi, Nick. Some questions for you before I can answer:
1. What is on your exterior walls now?
2. What do have for exterior wall studs? 2x4, 2x6?
3. How far are the exterior walls cantileved over the main steel beams?
4. What is the size of the floor joists? 2x6, 2x8?
5. What is the snow load in your area?
@@BCRenovationMagazine 1. Foam board and vinyl siding(was like that when we bought it) 2. 2x4.. 3. Not sure have measured...if i had to guess maybe 2.5 -3 ft, again not sure...4. 2x8 5. I live in tn so its rare that we get snow and if we do maybe an inch at most then gone the next day usually
@@nicksinclair2407 , I'll get back to you on this.
@@BCRenovationMagazine k thank you
Sorry for the late reply...i measured the distande from the beam to the edge of the cantilever and got about 45 inches
WHAT STATE U LOCATION
WhT area is this ?
Comment
Oops color; not coler
You do such a magnificent job of rehabbing these properties. I'm sure you turn down many opportunities. Are there conditions that you always turn down ie rust, certain models and years?
