With recent economic trends being as they are, the only portion of the housing market that seems to be enjoying a resurgence is that of manufactured homes. It makes sense, considering that sale prices for them are at least a third of what a traditional site built home is still going for, making them a very economical option in a less than stable economy.

3. It makes sense, considering that sale
prices for them are at least a third of
what a traditional site built home is still
going for, making them a very
economical option in a less than stable
economy.
Because older models are being sold as
well, there is a growing need for
suppliers that offer replacement
manufactured home parts.

4. Obtaining replacement manufactured
home parts
Recent models have it fairly lucky when it
comes to finding replacement parts.
Designed so that they are very similar to
traditional site built homes, a lot is being
included that are easily interchangeable
with standard industry replacement
parts, particularly with exteriors.

5. Manufactured home doors
and manufactured home windows can be
gotten from stores dedicated to
supplying replacement manufactured
home parts, or home improvement
stores.

6. For older models, however, some things
that will be needed in everyday repairs
might be a little harder to find.
 For these, it would be best to turn to
those specialty manufactured home part
stores for upgraded replacement parts,
or try to search out through the
manufacturers for the same parts that
were included in your particular model
home.

7. When it comes to renovations or
remodeling projects, it becomes
somewhat easier to handle, because
there are contractors who take on this
type of work regularly, and will have
sources from which to get upgraded
parts.

8. Looking for manufactured home
doors
Because current designs make
manufactured homes more similar to
traditional housing, finding replacement
manufactured home doors is much easier
today than it used to be.
Interior doors, especially, can be found
at any home improvement stores, and
can be done in terms of weekend do-it-
yourself projects, because they are just
that easy to install.

9. Exterior doors, on the other hand, may
still be model specific on older homes, so
searching through manufactured home
part stores would be your best bet, or go
through a local contractor for installation.

10. Searching for replacement windows
Just like with exterior doors, finding
replacement manufactured home
windows for older models may be hard to
do, without having to remodel the
window openings to fit newer
installations.

11. Older models, especially those of a true
mobile home nature, tended to make
installations like windows in smaller
dimensions than the norm, in order to
keep everything in scale with the rest of
the home.
To find an exact replacement might be
difficult, but some of specialty stores
have the means to custom make these
windows, if necessary.

12. For more recent models, finding
replacement manufactured home parts
like windows is much easier. In fact,
there is a wide range of environmentally
friendly windows and doors currently
available, just as there are for traditional
homes. These can be found either at the
specialty stores, or at any large home
improvement center. You can also get
them through local contractors that
specialize in greening homes.
