Interior & Remodeling

Mobile home remodeling runs into the same obstacle every time, and it is usually a literal wall. Interior walls are vinyl-over-gypsum panels joined by plastic battens, not taped drywall, so paint, tile and anything screwed to them behave differently than they would in a site-built house.

The other difference is structural. The roof load path and the mating wall are not where a homeowner expects them to be, which makes whether a wall is load-bearing a question to answer before the sledgehammer comes out rather than after.

These guides cover doors that are not standard sizes, the wall strips almost everyone wants gone, flooring that survives a floor that flexes, and how to paint VOG panels so the finish stays on.
