The Manufactured Housing Forums

A window was taken out of this mobile and replaced with tile on the interior
for a new bathroom look (looks good). On the exterior the contractor used a vinyl piece of siding replacing the space where the window was located.

Because the mobile home has metal siding (vertical ) there is a
mismatch between the existing siding and the new vinyl repair.

From what I understand the mobile home was built in the 1970's.

I would like to replace the complete (4X8 ) section in this area to make
the exterior seemless with the existing siding.

Is this the way to go? What would be the cost of this siding?


Thanks

John

The only problem is finding the exact match of that style. And even if you do find the match, the siding on a 70's home is bleached out. A lot of local building centers do carry metal siding, and if your not worried about "close", its a pretty simple repair. Just make sure you tuck the top behind the metal trim under the eve to keep the water from entering, and overlap the sides.
