Yes. Siding replacement is one of the most common exterior upgrades on a manufactured home, and it is the right moment to add insulation and a proper moisture barrier because the old covering is already off.
The work follows a fixed order:
At the free in-home estimate we measure every wall and check for rot, soft spots, uneven framing and the condition of the perimeter support.
We recommend a full tear-off or, where walls are sound, flat and dry and the product instructions allow it, an overlay. Rot or a wavy substrate means tear-off.
After you approve the fixed-price proposal, we apply for the HCD permit and order materials.
Our own crews repair damaged framing or sheathing, add a weather-resistant barrier and insulation where the wall allows, and flash every window and door.
We install the siding to the manufacturer's instructions, schedule the inspection, clean up and walk the job with you.
For background on materials, installation steps and how manufactured-home walls are built, read our complete guide to mobile home siding.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issues it, not your city building department. HCD has sole authority for permits and inspections on alterations to manufactured homes and mobilehomes, and owners or their contractors apply on form HCD MH 415 before work starts.
HCD's alteration guidelines (HCD MH 604) list exterior siding as needing a permit but no plan review or engineered plans, with a perimeter support detail required. Stucco, concrete or similar heavy siding does require an engineered plan. You can review the process on HCD's alteration permit page, and HCD's Northern Area Office is in Sacramento.
Work around the home is a separate question. Inside a mobilehome park, accessory structures such as decks, porches and awnings need a park construction permit from the park's enforcement agency, which is HCD unless the city or county has taken over park enforcement under Title 25. Outside a park, accessory structures go through the city or county. If your home sits on private land or a permanent foundation, we confirm with HCD and the county which agency handles each part before we start. We prepare and file the paperwork either way.
The best siding for your home depends on what the walls can carry, your fire exposure and your budget. Manufactured-home walls are framed lighter than site-built walls, so weight drives the choice more than it does on a house.
| Material | Weight on the wall | Fire behavior | Upkeep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Light | Combustible; depends on wall behind it | Wash only |
| Insulated vinyl | Light | Combustible; depends on wall behind it | Wash only |
| Metal (steel or aluminum) | Light | Noncombustible | Low; dents can show |
| LP SmartSide engineered wood | Moderate | Combustible on its own | Repaint over time |
| James Hardie fiber cement | Heavy | Noncombustible | Repaint over time |
Vinyl is the practical choice for most manufactured homes because it is light, resists insects and needs only washing. Choose a full-thickness panel; the thinnest budget vinyl warps and fades quickly in Valley sun. Insulated panels such as CraneBoard insulated siding add foam behind the face, which helps with heat and noise in a thin wall. Vinyl moves with temperature, so panels must hang loose on their nails, and that matters with Sacramento's big day-to-night swings. Our vinyl siding installation page covers profiles and options.
Fiber cement gives the strongest fire protection, but it is the heaviest option and needs repainting eventually. We check framing and perimeter support before recommending it. We are a James Hardie Elite Contractor and received the 2025 James Hardie Service Excellence Award, and our James Hardie siding page explains the product line.
LP SmartSide is lighter than fiber cement and takes paint well. We are an LP Master Level Preferred Contractor and LP Certified Installer.
Real cedar brings warmth but needs regular sealing and corrosion-resistant fasteners. Stone veneer is heavy, so on a manufactured home it works best as an accent on skirting or an entry wall rather than full cladding.
Many older manufactured homes came with plywood T1-11 or hardboard panels. Both absorb water at the bottom edges and seams, then swell, delaminate and rot, especially where sprinklers hit the wall.
If you see soft or flaking panels, the fix is usually tear-off, sheathing repair and new siding rather than patching. Our article on why hardboard siding fails shows what to look for.
Siding sheds most water but not all, so we add a weather-resistant barrier behind it and flash every opening. That keeps water out of the wall cavity, where it feeds mold and rot in the light framing.
Sacramento summers bring triple-digit heat and strong sun. Insulated siding or added foam board slows heat through the wall and lowers air conditioning use, and the added layer also dampens traffic and neighbor noise. Light colors absorb less heat than dark ones.
If your home is in a high fire hazard area, noncombustible fiber cement or metal is the more fire-resistant choice. Vinyl does not match their fire performance.
California's Board of Forestry adopted "Zone 0" ember-resistant rules in August 2026, still pending final state approval. They cover the 5 feet around the home, such as mulch, stored items and attached fences, rather than the siding itself, and apply in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones and the State Responsibility Area. Plan skirting and anything stored against the walls with that zone in mind.
Cost depends on wall area, material and whether the old siding comes off. Wall area is roughly the perimeter times the wall height. At an 8-foot wall, a 14x70 single-wide has about 1,340 square feet and a 16x80 about 1,540, before subtracting windows and doors.
We do not publish a flat price for these sizes because tear-off, framing repair, trim and skirting move the total. You get a firm fixed price at the free estimate. Combo, senior and military discounts apply, and financing is available through third-party lenders. Checking eligibility does not affect your credit score; approval, rates and terms depend on credit.
Overlaying vinyl on sound, flat walls usually costs least because it skips tear-off and disposal. Painting is cheaper still, but it only restyles siding that is already intact and adds no insulation or moisture protection. Skip overlay if we find rot, because covering damage costs more later.
Skirting finishes the lower edge of the home and keeps pests and moisture out of the crawlspace. Replacing it after the siding lets the two meet cleanly. Pair it with new trim, windows and entry steps for a complete update.
Many mobilehome parks set their own exterior rules on colors and materials. Check with your park manager before you choose, and we can bring samples to that conversation.
