What is the Mobile Home Roof Replacement Cost Calculator

The Mobile Home Roof Replacement Cost Calculator is a free online tool designed to help mobile homeowners estimate roof replacement (or installation) cost. This calculator contains the following inputs:

  1. roof area (ft²)
  2. Select Home type:
    • Single-wide (14×70 typical)
    • Double-wide (28×70 typical)
  3. Choose Material:
    • Liquid Coating — $2.50/ft²
    • Rubber (EPDM/TPO) — $4.50/ft²
    • Asphalt Shingles — $4.00/ft²
    • Metal Roofing — $5.50/ft²
  4. Choose Location:
    • Rural Area (-10%)
    • Suburban Area (baseline)
    • Urban Area (+20%)

After filling in the required input fields, the calculator instantly shows the estimated total project cost and the cost per square foot (ft²).

How the Mobile Home Roof Replacement Cost is Calculated

The calculator uses a simple formula to calculate estimates. Here is the formula:

Total Project Cost = roof area × base material rate × home-size factor × location factor

Here is the formula breakdown:

  • Roof Area = total roof area in ft²
  • Base Material Rate = cost per square foot for the selected roof material
  • Home Size Factor = multiplier for home type (for example 1.00 for single-wide, 1.15 for double-wide)
  • Location Factor = multiplier for area type (for example 0.90 for rural, 1.00 for suburban, 1.20 for urban)

From these values, we can also calculate:

  • Cost per square foot = Total project cost ÷ Roof area
  • Low estimate = Total project cost − 10%
  • High estimate = Total project cost + 10%

A Real-World Example

  • Area: 1,200 ft²
  • Material: Rubber membrane — $4.50/ft²
  • Home type: Single‑wide (factor 1.00)
  • Location: Suburban (factor 1.00)

Let's perform the calculation:

  • Total Project Cost = 1,200 × $4.50 × 1.00 × 1.00 = $5,400
  • Cost Per Unit (ft²) = $5,400 / 1,200 = $4.50/ft²
  • Estimated Cost Range = $5,400 × 0.9 – $5,400 × 1.1 = $4,860 – $5,940

In this example, the estimated total project cost is $5,400, with a cost per unit of $4.50/ft², and a typical range of $4,860 – $5,940.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof cost on a mobile home?

Mobile home roof costs depend on region, material quality, and size. A small single-wides often starts around $8,000, while for a large double-wides using premium materials can cost up to $16,000

You should expect the cost per square foot to range from $2.50 to $6/ft², mostly depending on the region and the material.

Note: These are approximate ranges; actual prices depend on local rates.

How much does it cost to fix a roof on a mobile home?

Repair costs largely depend on the extent of damage or leakage. Minor repairs can cost $150 to $800, while more advanced repairs — such as deck replacement or multiple leak repairs — can range from $1,000 to $4,000+.
