Mobile Home Roof Replacement Cost in Florida

Prices and rules reviewed October 2026

Single-wide and double-wide, national cost guides

$1,350 – $16,000

Fixr puts a mobile home roof replacement at $1,350 to $5,535 for a single-wide and $1,875 to $9,225 for a double-wide, with a national average around $5,500. HomeGuide's ranges run higher, $1,500 to $9,600 for a single-wide and $3,000 to $16,000 for a double-wide, because it includes pricier metal systems. Material, roof size and pitch, and whether the old roof comes off move the price most.

We didn't find published mobile home roof prices specific to Florida, so these are national figures. Local quotes can land anywhere in these ranges.

Mobile home roof cost by material

Material	Fixr, per sq ft	HomeGuide, per sq ft
Asphalt shingles	$2.50 – $4.50	$3 – $5
Metal	$4 – $6	$5 – $16
Rubber (TPO or EPDM)	$4 – $6	$4 – $10

Installed prices. HomeGuide's metal range is wider because it includes standing seam systems. Neither source prices tile.

Roof-over or tear-off?

A roof-over adds a new roof system on top of the old one, usually on a flat or low-slope mobile home roof. HomeGuide puts installed roof-overs at $1,000 to $4,500.
A tear-off removes the old roof first. HomeGuide adds $1 to $2 per sq ft for removal and disposal, and Fixr $0.50 to $1.
Shingles over old shingles is the option to avoid. Florida's state repair guidelines treat it as an alteration that puts too much weight on the roof, and Fixr says it's often not recommended or allowed on mobile homes.
Under the same guidelines, a roof-over built as an addition must be free-standing and self-supporting, with only flashing attached to the home, unless it's designed to be joined to the existing unit.

Florida's wind zones for manufactured homes

Federal HUD rules place every Florida county in Wind Zone II or Wind Zone III. Zone III, the strictest, covers Broward, Charlotte, Collier, Miami-Dade, Franklin, Gulf, Hendry, Lee, Martin, Manatee, Monroe, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties. Every other Florida county is Zone II.
Zone III homes are designed for 110 mph winds and Zone II homes for 100 mph. For roof coverings, that means a design uplift of 47 pounds per square foot in Zone III against 39 in Zone II, and far more at roof edges and gables.
Your home's HUD data plate shows the wind zone it was built for. Ask roofers to quote materials and fastening that match it.

State repair rules and permits

Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles sets the repair and remodeling code for mobile and manufactured homes (Rule 15C-2.0081). Roof repairs must use material and design equivalent to the original construction, and the rules can't be more stringent than the standard the home was built to.
Ordinary repairs, such as replacing roof covering after removing the old shingles, need no local permit. Major repairs and alterations may, so check with your county or city building department before work starts.
Major repairs must be done by qualified or licensed people. Check a roofer's license at myfloridalicense.com before you hire.
If a storm damages an uninsured mobile home, the state guidelines treat it as a total loss when repairs would cost 80% or more of its replacement cost.

Help paying for a mobile home roof

My Safe Florida Home, the state's hurricane-hardening grant program, lists mobile and manufactured homes as ineligible. It serves only site-built, owner-occupied homes.
Some city and county repair programs also exclude mobile homes. Clearwater's Home Preservation Program is one example. Check each program's rules before you apply; our city pages list local programs.

Common questions

How much does it cost to replace a mobile home roof in Florida?

National cost guides put a single-wide at roughly $1,350 to $9,600 and a double-wide at $1,875 to $16,000, depending on material and whether the old roof comes off. We didn't find Florida-specific published prices, so get quotes from local roofers who work on manufactured homes.

Can I put new shingles over old ones on a mobile home?

It's usually a bad idea. Florida's state repair guidelines treat new shingles over old as an alteration that puts too much weight on the roof, and Fixr notes that roofing over shingles is often not recommended or allowed on mobile homes. Lighter roof-over systems, such as metal or rubber over a flat roof, are a different matter.

Does my mobile home need a permit for a new roof?

It depends on the work and your county or city. Under Florida's repair guidelines, ordinary repairs need no permit, while bigger alterations may. Ask your local building department before work starts.

Can I get a My Safe Florida Home grant for a mobile home roof?

No. The program only serves site-built, owner-occupied homes, and lists mobile and manufactured homes as ineligible.
