Sealing leaking seams and vents on a mobile home roof is usually the least expensive fix and is priced after a look. A full recoat costs more, a roof-over typically runs about $1,000 to $6,000, and a full roof replacement on a single-wide is about $4,500 to $8,500 nationally. Size, roof type and rust decide which one you need.

Which fix do you need?
Seal and patch
If the metal is sound and leaks are at seams, vents and the edge trim, sealing those spots with materials made for mobile home roofs stops the leak for the least money.
Recoat
If the coating is cracked or chalky across the whole roof but the metal is still solid, a recoat after repairs adds years and reflects summer heat.
Roof-over
If the old metal roof leaks everywhere or holds water, a roof-over adds a pitched roof that sheds water better. It has to be tied into the walls correctly.
Replacement
If the roof deck is soft or rusted through in many places, replacement is the lasting fix.
