I really appreciate that comment. I know it was 10 months ago but I do appreciate it.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair always my friend!
The previous owner of my mobile homes would just put another layer of subfloor on top and old layer of subfloor whenever something would get squishy. In some places I have 3 layers of subfloor with with Linoleum in between. Each time I remove a layer of subfloor to get down to the joists the smell of rotted subfloor and trapped moisture/ mold is a treasure. Totally agree never ever ever put a sub floor on top of another sub floor.
Oh my God three layers that is total insanity I would never do that
Polybutalene plumbing is trouble. Fittings prone to leaks. Thereby floor damage. Will continue to be an issue until all is replaced. Use pex with brass fittings. Use red red and blue pex. Crimp on rings. Wrap with pipe insulation. I avoided placing it in flooring . If leaks occur as is obviously sub floor damage occurs. By placing below belly paper when and if leaks occur it goes to ground. Place insulating seam on bottom so water drains downward not into subfloor. Rip out old water damaged insulation because R factor is lost when water soaked and compressed it. Make sure sub floor drys out , mold and mildew is killed before closing up. I'd encourage a hot water heater pan under the tank. With a drain line routed thru sub floor , under home and to outside thru skirting to drain to outside not under home. I used 5/8 treated plywood for sub floor. Screwed down with decking screws. Replaced damaged insulation with new insulation on roll cut it to fit. No cramming or packing so as R factor not compromised. Used insulation hanger wires to hold in place. Sealed gaps around plumbing with great stuff to prevent entry of pests and eliminate air leaks. Already had moisture barrier, dehumidifier, foundation vents sealed up, also wrapped exposed ductwork with rolled silver insulation with spacers to reduce sweating and better at preventing heat or ac loss. Expensive? Yes. But not so much for a DYI! Rentals tend to cut corners, compromise to save a dollar, not concerned with the long run, cheap not quality material or workmanship. Yall be safe, be prosperous. Best wishes on navigating today's cost of material.
@@tedthornton7791 will probably go with PEX-A with expansion fittings
That is a great explanation of what to do and how to repair I can tell you’re knowledgeable about it
Good idea
I think it's always best to tear out entire damaged floor system and install completely new floor system. In the end, customers will enjoy it. It costs, but it's the right thing to do. I e been doing floor system repairs and complete replacements for over 40 years. It's how I roll and what I do. When I say "Drew is Pro", I know. Only Pros get the jobs done right!
Randy if you’ve been watching my videos on the mobile home we been working on for the last month you’ll see that we did exactly what you’re talking about we removed everything including the bottom plate and the exterior band on the mobile home we were working on it was a huge undertaking. But we got it done and homeowners are tickled to death. I hope you watched the floor we worked on last month

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair you are "The Professional", Drew! Even at 59, I still like to learn something new. That's why I enjoy watching all your videos!
I’m 59 also. Oct 5
Never to old to learn
When I ordered my Commodore 14 X 76 home back in 1992, I upgraded everything to 16 inch on center - "Floor Joists - Outer Walls and interior walls", all 16" on center. My outriggers are 3 feet from the frame on both sides; 30 years later; no problems. I removed the old metal sheathing and installed OSB panels on the outside and installed vinyl siding, then removed all of the thinner drywall, re-insulated everything, installed new Pella windows, new doors, and re-drywalled everything with 1/2 inch Sheetrock, I even bumped-out the wall 1 foot where every new window was located. 30 years old and no problems with sagging. If you don't specify certain things like 2 X 4 interior walls and everything at 16" on-center, you will defiantly get everything at 2 foot on-center, and 2 X 3 interior walls.
Your house is definitely built way better than most of these single wide mobile homes you did a good thing ordering it the way you did. With 16 on center you can definitely have more overhang
Another great video Drew hope you get the job ! And I know you both will put it right
I gave the homeowner a price and he was flabbergasted to be honest he only has half of the money he would cost to repair this floor
Unfortunately this man is from Ohio and he bought this house site unseen. He went by what the contractor order excuse me realtor said about the house online he still hasn’t been there to see it. Now they’re a little bit sick to the stomach that they didn’t go see it before they bought it
Thanks for answering my call and letting me kick a couple ideas off of you! Appreciate it 🙏 💯 🙌
Let me know when I can help my friend I’m here for you. We can do a video conference whenever you’re ready I would love to help
Great job, thanks for sharing!
Very welcome 🙏
Thank you I am in the process of fixing soft spots in my sup floor and was going to lay a new subfloor over the old one 🤷🏼♀️ I have never done this before, watching your videos and learning. 🤞🏼I do it right .
I would never suggest putting a floor over the top of a floor. I definitely recommend removing the old floor and putting down a new floor
You always get my thumbs up!!!
Thank you friend
Awesome viedos, big time fan here Shout out, you two guys crushed it, that dude needs a raise lol. Definitely a genius on the mobile home roof repair. I've been managing 55 and older parks for the last 19 years, unfortunately people die when there old, and nobody steps up and pays the lot fee or probate ties it up. I inherit in 120 days a abandabent clear title, my job requirements include all rentavations. And thats when eyes open. I'm amazed how people live not knowing, possibly they do. My story setting is in the Akron Canton, Ohio area And im 61 years old, so its not a easy go at it 7 days a week like the early days. Only 1 of a thousand humans would do what we do. If you call for help a electrician for plunbing, furnace repair, roofing, as soon as you say Lot number, nah we don't do mobile homes, or TRAILERS. I had to learn everything. And surprised everytime. I'm guessing if I would do viedos like your team does the first segment would focus on - I'm here, because its really bad, you know Why? This is what not to do! If you don't know what to do, don't try it, it's a waste of energy, time, possibly or probably get injured, end up with new tools you'll never use again, oh yeah , embessment.... PEOPLE!! FIND a Mobile Home Pro, like this company. That knows how much shit happens as soon as you open the door cuz the more you dig the more mold and nasty ass wood rot that makes and keep you sick that will lead to death. If my transmission on my pick up went out yesterday i dare you to dream it, good morning Katie we should take apart the transmission and do it are self ? Peace.
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I love everything you said
Thank you for your words I really appreciate it
I watched, liked, and this comment is my support ✌🏾
You are amazing thank you for watching liking and commenting with your support you’re amazing Nice photo
Here's a tip, I found that if you use a toe-kick saw, you can get right up to the walls and take out the old flooring, that way you don't have a 5,6 inch strip next to the walls to patch up!!
This wasn’t my job and yes on my jobs that’s what I use
Hi Drew and CREW.. ur videos encouragement. 2/14/23.
Thank you very much. Just remember if it’s made of wood you can fix it.
Great videos , I have learned a lot.
Glad to hear it! I have lots and lots of videos. I hope they help you if you need to see something specific let me know. I’ll share the video with you.
This was a great video very informative I also have a trailer with a build on roof they did before I bought having sag problems on the outside walls gonna built the underpinning wall like you did
What do you mean by build on roof
My home has a metal roof on top of shingles but i dont think it added much wieght only about 500 pounds
Exactly do the underpinning like I did on the other video and you’ll be fine. Just watch when you’re jacking up the outside walls that you’re not lifting the center of the house off of the blocks if you do more shimming of the blocks might be necessary
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair thank you🙏🏼
It would be really nice if you could give a range of repair estimates for these projects for those who are thinking of doing repairs like you show. For example, we can't tell if this is a $2000 job or a $5000 job. For many of us on a budget we don't want to start a repair and then find our budget is only half or less of what it really takes. Thanks and good work and explanations.
All that wood and labor? Probably 15-20k
Well number one you got a figure the flooring is $80 per sheet 4 x 8 so every 10 x 10 area it’s gonna take three sheets so right off the bat you’re looking at material $240 that’s just sheeting not including two by fours or any other material you might have to buy. To do everything this house would need which is jacking up the walls building walls underneath the exterior walls repairing the floors removing the material under the walls Probably somewhere around $20,000
Oh my god! Excellent idea!
Yes it is
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair
They just need to put pillars in next to this one, buy a shed to put on them and start over building a shed-to-house or something. Then either tear this one down or rebuild it later as an add-on.
You are so great, I am so happy that you are in North Carolina and I hope you can help me with my mobile home please thank you.
I might be able to what do you have going on
Keep up the great videos
Thank you my friend I appreciate you
My home is worse than this. Its insane but with your videos I'm gonna try
You can do it. I’m sure or it
You do good work Good work Brother! No BS kinda guy..and you don't hide shit! keep on keepin on Brother!
My sub-floors are 3/4" OSB, with a slight lamination on the top side of the panels, everything was glued to to the floor joists and heavily secured with 2" glue coated staples. None of that cheap Flateboard "sawdust" crapp. I had a miserable time separating a couple sheets of it from the floor joists when I pushed some of the walls out. My kitchen is about 17 foot wide, my living room is at 16 foot wide, and my office comes in at around 16.5 feet wide. I re-did everything, electrical, drywall, windows, insulation, doors, new cherry cabinets, sinks, faucets, luxury vinyl tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, 6-panel interior doors, new aluminum roof-over with a 7 inch overhang and 6 inches of open~cell insulation board under
the aluminum. I have about $17,000 in the materials for the remodel, and the roof cast me $6,850..
I glued and screwed everything, and I would guess that I used about 50 tubes of construction adhesive and maybe 2000 screws of various sizes. I glued all of the outer OSB sheathing to the wall studs with coated screws, then used 2 coats of primer over the OSB, then taped every seam, wrapped the home with Tyvek, then installed something called "Fullback Hurricane Rated - insulated Vinyl Siding".
I still have some work to do; and it's a slow painful process doing all of this work by myself - - - In my spare time..
The material on your floor is the same that I have in my Doublewide it is very good stuff. Top quality flooring. It looks like OSB but it is not OSB it is a way better brand of OSB made with semi waterproof glue
That’s what’s happening to my 1960 single wide but has original floors besides spots here and there. The bottom sills on the outside are bad so we’re fighting those as well.
The problem with this house is they put a roof on top of it with no support under the trailer itself. You can put Rubber Roof on it like I do in my other videos but if you build a stick build roof on top of a mobile home with all that weight it’s not a good idea. If there’s anything I can help you with please feel free to ask
The mobile home manufacturers definitely pulled a fast one on homebuyers back in the day!
Yes they did
I used to use a portable power planer set just deep enough to remove the glued particle board residue and smooth out the floor joists, after removing the thousands of staples first!
I use a grinder sanding wheel 4:08
They did my whole house like this. My flooring in some places has 4 layers of floor. Its unbelievable. That's why the ceilings look super short.
Omg. Your kidding
I'm having the same issue... I wondered why my dad's place across the street had significantly higher ceilings then mine... just found out I've got 3 whole layers of subfloor under real hardwood floor.
Again putting cage out.. skunks possum and cats. 35 cats, 15 skunks, 2 possum and a racoon in two week's. Northern California USA 🇺🇸... 🙏
O my god. Get more traps. Wow. Make sure there is no way to get in.
I watched the entire video to get the estimate! What a chump I am!!!!
You’re awesome Andrea
MY MOBIL HOME HAS SAME KINDA PROBLEMS. MY OUTSIE WALLS ARE LEAKING INSIDE TO THE FLOORS. GLAD I WATCHED THIS NOW I HAVE TO RETHINK MY ROOF BUILD I WAS CONSERNED ABOT THE ROOF WEIGHT. CRUSHING THE WALL N BREAKING THE WINDOWS
It won’t break your windows. It will make your walks sag worse. Build walls under the ext walls. ua-cam.com/video/HxzE5Z59Ah0/v-deo.html
@Frank Coley it sounds like you have the same problem I have with my mobile home roof. When they did the roof last they put a short drip edge on it and the starter shingles don't overhang the drip edge at all so water runs under the shingles and back behind the drip edge and down into the walls and in between the windows. We got the place as new home owners not knowing anything about roofing or anything and the entire sub floor was shot. We tore it all out and replaced it ourselves and I was racking my brain on why the entire sub floor was shot. I knew there was a couple water pipe leaks at some point that contributed to it but came to find out that the roof being done wrong was also a big part of it. Also if you don't have gutters I would install them asap bc on most mobile homes the rain water just runs right down the siding to the ground rather than dripping off the roof and that's no good. Siding is not water tight and the water running down the siding constantly will cause moisture in the walls, make it impossible to have your windows open while it's raining and you will have to pressure wash your siding every year from the dirt and grime that comes with the rain water flowing down your siding.
Thank you very much for your comment your comment is spot on exactly what I would’ve said
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair You are very welcome! Thank you for replying as well! It's good to know you agree with me and that I'm taking the right coarse of action. 😊
That's how people will do you. They come in and mess up your floors and you have to pay somebody else to fix it. I really wished you'd come to Georgia. I already work 2 jobs but if I have to work a 3rd to get you down here to fix mine would be awesome.
Yes, I agree. Some people are worthless. I wish I could come to Georgia. We actually have been there before but since Covid have not been able to travel, I don’t have the crew for it anymore.
Hey! Thanks for doing this. How would you put LVP over the marriage line in a double wide? I'm about to do that and I'm worried it'll sag over the gap. Should I put rubber/foam in the gap?
I’m not real sure how you would do that to be honest the only way I’ve ever done it is by adding plywood to the floor first
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Yeah I'm trying to avoid putting more wood over the entire subfloor. It's already OSB there's just that small gap. I was thinking there may be a filler or something sturdy I could use
Looks like a lot of work!!, you guys are probably going to have to install support posts around the whole perimeter of the mobile home, unless it already has a block foundation! The cantilever of the steel mobile home trailer frame can't take the extra weight of an additional roof installation as this mobile home has !, great video, and good luck, have fun ! Lol 😆
The owner could not afford my price so we are not taking on this job
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair exactly. This isn't a practical fix. It's messy but you have to go cheaper. It's a mobile home.
Never ever use a friend of a friend or you will not have that friend anymore.
And that’s pretty much what happen here my friend LOL. A friend of a friend of a friend. He seen my videos he wanted to hire us first but his stepsister told him that she knew a friend of a friend it was starting a business and would love to have the work. He got into it tore out the floor and decided he couldn’t handle it and quit the job in the middle with a four-door out walked away oh my God
Welp im redoing my entire floor... i bought a single wide for 2k, found some issues with plumbing and roofing.... but i watched this video after starting the floor and wondering wtf i am looking at... turns out I dont have short walls... i have 3 layers of subfloor with a hardwood floor on top. Holyyyyyyyyyyy. Welp im glad it was only a 2k house 😅
Edit to add after i watcherd you notice the header was cut off the doorway... just checked mine, same thing. Door already sits crooked but omg this explains sooooo much thats going on with the house. All starts with the floor.
Wow. I have many videos that might help you. Just check out Drews Roofing and Home Repair floors.
Alright, I've been in house construction, remodel and new builds for a while. Never really worked on mobile homes. Until now, my new house. I'm remodeling, I've gotten over halfway done with the tare out.. they put new stuff on top of molded sheetrock..it's insane. I've found 4 types of flooring on top of eachother. My 2 things I'm stumped on are...the edges are sagging and there's a bow in the center of the master bedroom. They put a metal roof on the old roof. I gotta get the sag out the edges. We moved it to my land, and leveled it once already..gotta level it again. Is that the best way to get the outer walls from sagging. Extra support? I learn as I go. I'm almost gutting the place. I'm fixing everything rotted and wrong with it. My other question is should I add extra beams and support under the house as my furniture is heavy heavy antique items..
Use treated lumber on the exterior walls like I did build a wall under the wall to the ground that will take care of Loveling your walls and stop the sagging. Call me if you need help.
I grew up in a mobile home park in the early 90s, and our neighbor across the street had a 1977 Titan with a tall asphalt shingled roof-over. I have no idea when that roof was installed, but by 1990, all the floors were crowned worse than what's seen in this video. In the mid 90s, they had a carpenter replace the flooring in several spots - I believe he sistered some of the joists or shimmed the subfloor, either way, it flattened it out somewhat... but it only got worse as the home aged. By 2004, they gave up on the home (which was badly deteriorated anyway) and had a brand-new Schult double-wide built to replace it. Within two years, their brand-new washing machine let loose and flooded the utility room, destroying the floor which I believe was still made of compressed sawdust... I swear to god I will NEVER own a mobile home...
The floors now are made of a different material
Drew and CREW to the rescue. We appreciate u.. mercy 😇😇
I'm diggin those snazzy socks! Lmao
His daughter bought him them for his birthday. Paul likes South Park
Can you support the walls like you usually do by standing a 2x4 up to the ceiling and supporting it with a 2x4 across the ceiling and across the floor joist. See I watch what you do.
Exactly right. Thanks for watching
Drew, This floor needs a whole new redo, just like in your other video, plus need to go 16 on center and jack the ends up....
Can you believe 2 foot on center on these walls with 4 feet overhang on the center beams oh my God
Hey Paul!
Wow, that house is the prettiest tear down I've ever seen! That roof above and oatmeal floor just made that thing way too cost prohibitive to even both with in my opinion. Wonder if the owner feels the same way after the estimate you would have to give him. Easy to see why the last guy bailed.
I know why the last guy bailed. He told him 9000. Not near enough to fix this place.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Yeah, that sounds like a good reason to bail once that can of worms was opened up.
I just bought a mobile home in tupper lake ny and the previous owner was sadly too old to take care of himself or his dog so the dog pissed in the home in certain areas sooo much that the home is sagging in areas and the man sure loved to layer shit like a kid, my foundation is ok so I think it's definitely rotting wood I have to replace, he also had this fn shed he built on the back attached to the laundry room that was completely rotting so we took it off and found a HUGE carpenter ant nest!
What I say is, if it’s made of wood you can fix it. If he did it wrong you can do it right remove what he did do it like I do he won’t have any issues.
When you put in new floor noises, do you use hangers or just screw to outside 2/6
No hangers needed. It’s not holding anything they sit on the frame just screw it to the outside band.
👍
Do you see what happens when you hire a friend of a friend
did you ever finish this job??? would love to see that!
We never did the job. My bid was to high for him
ive seen the particleboard swell to over 1.5 inches thick under wall plates. it was all dry & been thay way for a while. i was not gonna dig all that crap out to put new ply sheets under the wall. the trailer was used as a duck camp & had gotten submerged into the ARK. river during a flood. a few years before... the whole structure needed a dozer & start over. but the owner agreed to my 1/2 ass way of salvaging the rest of the structure, as the flood waters , believe it or not, stopped even with the floor. the trailer had a nice built on room that was worth 4 times the shitty 1978 trailer it was attached to... me and my guys removed all of the old P.B. chips that we could, blocked all over the random placed floor joist with 3.5" deck screws. hung some insulation as best we could & put down 3/4" ply w/deck screws. caulking everywhere that was needed. i showed the owner the obvious other damage, a few concrete piers were washed way outta place.. i told owner ; MOLD WILL GROW, GONNA BE VERY DRAFTY IN WINTER, YOUR GONNA HAVE TO MONITOR YOUR PLUMBING LIKE A HAWK. .. he said he never really went into that side of the structure except for coffee pot & microwave... he kept doors closed... he didnt wanna just build a nice rear wall to the well built add-on. he just wanted to be able to walk thru... as bad as i hate to 1/2 ass a job... he was super happy , he had a floor that my 220lbs. self, jumped from end to end. he was a local guy so we took 4k of his insurance money, even hauled off the tainted debris. he kept the rest of the money in pocket. i hope nobody gets sick from the mold. the next little flood in that prone area is gonna take the trailer section... he probably build a rear wall with the next ins. money...
Wow it sounds like you had to do a lot of work to fix that place and it really never got fixed properly but like you said if he was happy I guess that’s all you can have or expect. It sounds like you did the job the very best you could I guess at least she has something
Hi Drew, I need major repairs on my older mobile home, (I have cash =-)
We live in Southport North Carolina I don’t do much traveling anymore. You might see my videos where I have done some traveling but at this point traveling can be expensive
It's amazing what shady mobile home flippers will do around here. Some examples; putting new laminate flooring over a rotten subfloor, using Killz white paint to cover up water and mold stains on the ceiling (roof still leaking), and painting over rotten walls/paneling
You really have to do your homework before you buy something and spend the money to have it inspected on your own
On that weird layered floor… so, the bottom is osb subfloor, right? Then they put another layer of OSB down, later or something? Why? I don’t understand why they would do that. Maybe the original subfloor was damaged?
I think whoever has been working on this place was a handyman that never worked on a mobile home before. The homeowner in the situation that called me about it off the Internet and did not know we had these problems. They sent him pictures, but the pictures were not worth anything. He was so disappointed when he got there and found out what he had bought online.
People build the strangest things, my dad demolished buildings one piece at a time , he did a commercial building one time , had seven layers of flooring. My friends rented a place every time the bathroom floor rotted the landlord just put another layer, I’m 5’ 6” needed to duck so l didn’t hit my head on the ceiling. So you just see the weirdest things
Sir. Did you notice how low the ceilings were in this place
Take a match to this one.
Exactly
How many sheets would it be for 16by80 just in case I need to do it all myself brother
16 x80 = 1280 decided by 3 add 3 sheets for waste. 3 sheets equals 100 sq ft
Will you come to Georgia?
No, I have been to Georgia before, but I’m not able to travel anymore
Do you help in St.petersburg florida??
I wish I could. I’m in NC
Sorry to keep making suggestions, but this place looks like it's going to be a gut job for the whole mobile home, walls and everything, including the front bedroom, and that bathroom needs to be reframed to put the sink in the bathroom, not the bedroom!, I would move the front door over about 3 feet, move the front bedroom wall out about 2 feet to allow room to remake that front bathroom a little bigger so the sink can be put back into the bathroom!
I did not do this. He did not have enough money
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair That's good that you walked away ! It looks like you and your partner would have gotten in a situation where more hidden problems would have come up and the owner would have gotten upset that you guys 'torn up ' his mobile home and wouldn't have paid for all the proper repairs that needed to be done ! I believe you dodged a bullet on that one, especially seeing how bowed out the exterior walls were !, also I noticed that the video shows under the mobile, it looks like some of the metal frame wing gussets were starting to twist on their bottom edges,being a 'T' type of wing gusset frame extension !
I agree it was the best thing to do walk away
Silly question but would a cinder block foundation to add support then taking off of the roof to redo it be a better option for that homeowner?
No not at all
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Silly question then. What is a cinder block foundation good for the mobile home? Is it a good underpinning or is it a better way to insulate the underside combined with the underbelly to keep the structure warm and critter free?
I mention this since I am reading a book on mobile home repair and am puzzled by this.
Cinderblock foundation is awesome. Mine is brick with cinder block behind it.
You will never keep it critter, free kill bait is the best thing. I always keep mouse traps under my house and check them daily.
I don’t understand why anybody would do stupid mess like this I don’t understand I’ve rather pay good money and have it done right Tyfs hugs
The worst thing you want to do is build a entire roof system on top of a single wide mobile home without supporting the outside walls
I agree that’s just crazy
Without the proper support it doesn’t matter what it is it will fall
With sub floor being around $80 dollars a sheet I can't imagine how much it would cost !
I just finished a Mobile Home Floor if you look at my recent videos and it was $85 per sheet for what we used a costume $11,000
Plus all the extra work we did on the walls
Marble test!
I wish we would’ve had a marble the only problem is the marble probably would’ve went so fast I never caught it lol
The buyers got taken. It's too bad folks don't do their research or get inspections from mobile home experts before buying. Most inspectors only understand permanent structures and aren't really qualified to assess these homes.
I agree 100 percent
The ball you wanted to roll was down in the vent
I’m sure it rolled from one end to the other
What is best SKIRTING.. pls.. Drew and CREW.. Northern California USA 🇺🇸..
I like this skirting
ua-cam.com/video/MeKxJ9dHQ6M/v-deo.html
Ty.. with vinyl siding, have attached z bar & T1 11 & good paint, it's time for plumber and finish back area tomorrow. BTW that area it 20 degrees cooler yr around Northern California USA 🇺🇸.
And suggestions Mr Drew ^ CREW Paul. Ty 2/16/23
Question 🙋 anything I can do as for installing ( plumber) Gas line & wall heat. But then no forced a/c. Options before my Unpaid PGE goes off. AGAIN. seriously too. 2/16/23.
Call me I will try to answer your question
Call me so I can understand what you need
This house looks to me like needing to be scrapped and replaced by a new one. Surprised that such a wreck could be fixed.
It could be fixed I gave him a price he got sticker shock he bought this house on the Internet and show them pictures. It didn’t look anything like this. He was so disappointed when he first came and looked at it and seeing all the problems.
I see I'll have to do 1 room at a time.... Prices are horrific!!
The flooring for that place all by itself is $85 per sheet
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Is it ok to use that OSB stuff?
OSB is way better then plywood in my opion
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Ok. And the roof looks like some sort of Ruffles potato chip... I'm in for a ride
So how does one fix the sagging exterior walls that are sagging because of the weight of the metal roof?
Unfortunately it’s not just a metal roof it’s a 2 x 6 rafter roof built on top of this house oh my God you would have to get into the house and jack it up on the exterior walls if you’re lucky you could do that. It’s been sagging a long time
@Drew's Roofing & Home Repair oh wow! It's ashame whoever built the new roof didn't either have the knowledge of what would happen or just didn't care! I've seen what the exterior walls are made of ,it was just 2x3s on the one a saw. I can't imagine that would be strong enough to support the kind of weight a 2x6 structure had! I feel bad for the owners of this home. What did the owners decide to do??
They decided they cannot afford to do the repairs they have less than half the money it would take
I watched you for the first time and I feel like I could learn a lot from you but there is so much wasted footage even on 2X faster I got bored waiting for the solution... Which never came🤷
The solution was tear the roof off too much weight on the walls
Why did previous owners install a FLEXIBLE VENT DUCTS & LAY OVER SEWAGE PIPES. 😢. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. 2/2023
I do not know why they did it. I was at this place for an estimate only. Nothing was right. I turned down this job
Been an inspired full line field adj since 1972, and just moved here for retirement, however learning about double wide trailer is interesting every day. Working in body shop dealers totally understand.. write est high crazy 🤪
Thanks for watching. If I can help please call me
Nice video but question, having brick or cinder block underpinning would that kept animals out and help the vents
Not sure if it would keep the animals out or not. But I would say they probably don’t like it that’s for sure
@ 17:41 Remind the home owner to replace all that worthless grey polybutylene pipe as well. Otherwise he will have more flooded wet floors!
This was an estimate I did. The owner did not hire me I was to expensive
What do you use other than a nail gun and why shouldn't you use a nail gun?
I use screws only. Nails will back out
Have you ever worked on a mobile home floor that waved from condensation?
Yes I have and let me tell you where it’s coming from. Check to make sure that your vents are not compromised. What I mean by that is open up your vent make sure the tape is still on the metal trunk so that the air is not escaping under the house

I hate to even ask this but exactly where am I supposed to look inside my actual vents inside or under the house?🥴
Look inside the actual vent pull the vent cover off and make sure the tape on that vent is in good shape and not allowing air to blow under your house.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair you were exactly right the first vent I opened in the room with the worst waving floor was a mess the tape was barely hanging on and I could feel the outside air coming through a hole in the vent where it overlaps
That was a big messed up trailer I know you could fix it as good as new but I think it needs to be jacked up hooked up towed away It cost too much to fix it maybe you’re the best they know who to call
I decided to walk away from this job wasn’t interested. I felt bad for the man that bought it. He bought it online sight unseen
I feel bad for whoever decided to do all that improper work on that house. Because it seems like maybe they just had no knowledge of home construction. Maybe it was a over eager diy’er? And what is crazy is that by the time you do the math for the cost of the bad second roof and porch, the second subfloor, that floor, and the remodel that is to come…yikes. How can that little single wide be worth it cost wise
He bought this house over the Internet. He was totally disappointed when he finally got there and seen it. So he found my videos called me. I went there, told him it was unrepairable he was so unhappy. Definitely not worth what you paid.
squirrels get thru the bag ??
The most important thing is to try to keep them from getting under that to start with so underpinning is very important on a mobile home. If you don’t have the underpinning taken care of cats dogs rats mice squirrels raccoons possum anything can get under there
God I need your help....
I'm just stuck on disability....I liked and joined your subscription...I just can't afford all that I need done...do you travel to Pa.
Corvette
No sorry that’s 10 hrs from here
@Drew's Roofing & Home Repair Well Thank you sir for all that information that you put out to everyone. I will try to do what I can. Also, I've been watching a lot of your videos on repairs to sheet rock...what do I do with sheet rock is all crumbly at the top of a column??
@Drew's Roofing & Home Repair And Thank you sir for your service! God Bless You!
cover exposed floor and sell it... unfortunately
I know right
Just gut it and then re-do it or demolish it.
He does not have enough money. He bought this house online before he ever seen it.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair
Definitely a big mistake. Not always good to buy things without seeing them first.
I would never buy it without seeing it. They showed him a bunch of pictures online but you couldn’t see by the pictures what the problems were in reality
.. Settling or Sinking 🤔☹️
The walls are sagging. Get much weight on the roof.
Looks like you need air in your tires
I’ll check tgat
That
If they are all good then check the spare .happend to me
😂 Dope just wants to waste a lot of your time listening to him talk.
Everybody has an opinion that video actually wasn’t made to show anything, but when it got such good traction, I left it on
Why just not leave it..
The floors are rotted out we can’t just leave it unfortunately needs to be fixed
I say its a tair down
I think I agree
The roof should’ve never been put on this mobile home without supporting it first
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair i have did a frame roof in the past but I used 4x4 along side the trailer in the ground contented the rafters to them no wight the trailer roof at all....
And now with that one jacking sides back up I see bucking in the side's in
I like the 4 x 4 post idea but I like the 6 x 6 post idea better I’m not sure how it is buckling if you put your post all the way to the ground and put a roof up there how is it still buckling
my guess is this man never paid to get the home fixed lol.... way to much money and work for that spot
I agree I’m not sure what exactly happened
What a mess.
I could not believe it. He bought on the internet sight un seen
I have the same problem in the living room. My daughter fell threw the floor 4 weeks ago. And she is on a walk. The floor is extremely soft. I am a widow now and believe me, my husband an I argued over this floor before he passed. I have a lot of experience on stick house construction. But, not so much trailer remodeling. Your videos have been a life line for me.. I have learned so much from you..
I have bought 1 in ply wood to go on the floor. I am going to apply the ply wood the opposite of how the floor joists run.
My son and I will be doing the work in the next 2 weeks. I know I should tear out the floor to the joists. But, I am not sure if I am going to stay or move. I wish I could move this trailer.
But, it is so peaceful, where this trailer sets. It over looks the ky river. No traffic or people.
Good luck with this trailer. I would tear that roof off. And put a rubber one on.
And if I was those people I would run not walk to a phone and hire you. You are the 👌 best!!!!
They want to hire me but they can’t afford it right now unfortunately. Your husband should’ve fix the floor before he died or had somebody else do it. Maybe you should hire somebody to help you not just your son three is better than to thank you for the amazing comment I appreciate you Marsha. He did call me back and said that they were going to work on a loan and he would be calling me back
Dude talk about the sagging floor the whole video wining like a women
You didn’t have to watch. Was I standing over your shoulder asking you to watch? go away if you can’t be positive. dig a hole. Bury yourself in it. The video is just showing that the floor is sagging and the roof they put on top of it is way too heavy I was explaining that you cannot build a roof on top of a mobile home. I hate negativity I’m a happy positive person. If you think I was whining that’s your opinion just go away
Had to click off your video account didn’t want to listen to a 20 min advertisement..first 5 min anyways
Thank you
