The cost of replacing your mobile home roof depends on several factors, mainly whether you’re installing a new roof over the old one or removing the old roof first.
Factors that influence the cost of your mobile home roof replacement
- Replacement is a “roof-over” or a tear-off
- Material selection
- The size and roof pitch of your mobile home
- The width of your home

Average cost based on materials
Your choice of materials significantly impacts the total cost of your mobile home roof replacement. Here are some average costs based on popular material options.
Liquid roof coating: $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. This is the most affordable option for refreshing your current roof.
The coating seals leaks and reflects heat. This is a good option if you’re interested in maintenance, but it can’t replace a structural replacement.
Asphalt shingles cost between $3.50 and $6.00 per square foot. They are a popular choice for pitched roofs. While they are affordable, the added weight means your mobile home’s structure must be built to support it.
TPO or Rubber (EPDM): $4.50 to $10.00 per square foot. This is the standard material used for flat or low-slope mobile homes. It is lightweight, waterproof, and energy-efficient.
Metal roofing: $7.00 to $15.00 per square foot. This is your premium option. It costs more upfront but lasts 40-60 years and provides excellent insulation for your home.
Understanding a roof-over vs. a full replacement
Roof over: If you are considering a new metal or TPO roof, installing it directly over your existing roof can save you roughly $1,500 to $3,000 in labor and disposal costs.
This approach also provides extra protection when you install these products directly over your old roof.
It is important to note, however, that in most areas, by law, you can have only two layers of roofing on your mobile home. In which case, the full tear-off is your only option.
Full tear-off: It is the more expensive option, but it is wise, especially if you have underlying wood rot on your wood decking.
In this case, a full tear-off must be done, meaning all the old materials are removed down to the wood decking, repairs are made to the wood decking, and a new roof is then installed.
