Rehab Ideas - Flooring Selection

[Alan Majors]

Vinyl plank flooring is becoming a standard in other structures used as rentals, but what are others using in mobile homes? The conditions are a little different from SFH and the tenant base may be a little different as well.

The flooring I've seen at HD is $2-2.50 a square foot + installation.  Managing my rehab budget is critical, but we all want to be smart about it.  Do others spend this much in a trailer, or go down-market to something like peel and stick for less than a dollar a square?

Are there any other rehab components to be discussed?  Roofs might be a couple of threads on their own.

I get very good quality vinyl plank for $1 per foot when getting surplus on Craigslist.  I put it throughout the whole home, and have never had any trouble with it.

Here is one I did on a 1978 doublewide.
