We are thinking about putting raw wood panel siding and a metal roof on our manufactured home its a double wide built in 1990 (not sure what make)on perm. foundation. Can any roofing & siding company put a new roof and siding on these homes, can these repairs be done like any regular built home? If this can be done do you suggest a spacific manufacturer or building company? House is located where there is sometime up to 3-4ft of snow in the winter months. Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks

Weight can become an issues with a manufactured home. Metal roofing is a popular option. Just keep in mind that your roof trusses are probably built of 2x2's.

I'm not sure what raw wood panel siding -- is that something that comes in 4x8 sheets?
