Overview

This double-wide came to us with a flat roof that was actively leaking and decking that had paid the price for it. The eaves in particular were showing the kind of damage that doesn’t get better on its own — soft spots, rot, and the early signs of bigger problems on the way.

Our job was to take the home back to a solid foundation, install a roof system built for long-term performance, and bring everything up to current Lake County code.

What We Found

Before we got started, the existing roof was telling us where the failures were:

• The old flat roof material was showing signs of active leaking across multiple areas, with the eaves taking the worst of it.
• Several decking boards had rotted out and needed replacement before any new roof could go on top.
• The existing ventilation wasn’t meeting the needs of the home and was overdue for an upgrade.
• The penetration flashings hadn’t been finished cleanly, leaving the roof looking unfinished even before it failed.

What We Did

We started by tearing off the existing roof and replacing every rotted decking board, priming the new wood before it went down to seal it against future moisture from day one. The pitched sections were finished with Pabco Premier shingles in Antique Black for a sharp, modern look with proven long-term performance, while the flat section was rebuilt with a TPO membrane — known for its durability and a safer installation process than torch-down alternatives. To meet Lake County’s local and state code requirements, we installed a Class A fire-rated moisture barrier underneath, then upgraded the ventilation on both sides of the home to properly balance intake and exhaust for a double-wide of this size. To finish the job, every penetration flashing was painted to match the Antique Black shingles for a clean, complete look from the curb.

Why It Matters

On a mobile home, the roof carries more weight than people realize — literally and structurally. Cutting corners on decking, ventilation, or fire-rated underlayment isn’t just a code issue; it’s a long-term performance issue. By taking the time to replace what was rotted, prime what was new, and meet every code requirement Lake County calls for, we built a system designed to last — not one designed to pass.

The Result

A roof system that performs and looks the part. All inspections passed on the first scheduled visit, the flat section is sealed with a TPO membrane built to outlast the previous material by years, and the finished details — right down to the painted flashings — make the whole home look complete. The homeowner walked away with a roof they don’t have to think about again for a long time.
