The two major types of roofs for mobile homes are flat and peaked. Most mobile homes have flat roofs, although many mobile owners also choose to add peaked roofs to improve their homes. The most common materials used for mobile home roofing are rubber, aluminum, and asphalt.

When it comes to rubber roofing, it’s important that you choose a qualified contractor who offers superior roofing. You need to ensure that your roof is properly built with the toughest materials and is made to last for many years. Not all contractors are capable of installing rubber roofing to mobile homes, so make sure to find a reputable roofer with years of experience in the industry. An excellent contractor uses high-quality EPDM rubber that’s certified to protect your property and provide the visual appeal you desire. A good contractor will discuss different options with you, and guide you in making an informed decision. Be sure to pick the right color, style, and materials that best suit your mobile home.

Rubber roofs for mobile homes are generally available as seamless or seamed type. Seamless roofs can be installed as a do-it-yourself project, whereas seamed roofs are best installed by qualified contractors. If you choose to install seamless roofs, you need to create a thick mixture that’s composed of quality rubber, so the roof will be strong and durable. When installing seamed rubber roofs, it’s important to fit the roof properly on the top of your mobile home. Seamed roofs are very durable, lasting numerous years or even decades. Although seamed roofs can be expensive, the durability of these roofs is well worth the price.

One of the risks of rubber roofing is having an improperly installed EPDM roof. Inexperienced contractors and DIY homeowners often make the mistake of installing a roofing system that doesn’t last long. It’s essential that you hire a professional, skilled, and trained contractor who will seam the roof carefully and install the flashings meticulously. An incorrectly installed roof may result in leaks inside your home and require an expensive repair that’s out of your budget. Find out if the roofer offers any warranty on his workmanship. Interview several prospective contractors, and see if they’re knowledgeable about rubber roofing. Moreover, ask for a list of previous clients to check the contractor’s quality of work.
