How much would it cost to add on a room to a mobile home, where there is already a screened in porch?
Manufactured Homes February 23rd, 2010Ok we are going to be adding on a room to my grandmothers mobile home. The room will be where there is already a screened in porch. So the foundation is already there. The room will not be completely enclosed. We only want to have two walls (insulated) for now. No electricity is needed. The third wall will be her mobile home and the forth is her laundry room. How much do you think this would cost as a "Do It Yourself " project? Also, if there are any professional carpenters out there, how much would you charge for this type of job? If no one knows the answer to any of the questions, perhaps you have added a room on to your home in the past. How much did it cost you? Thanks
Here are the outside measurements:
long wall height: 8 feet
long wall width: 152 inches = 12.6 feet
smaller wall width: 131 inches = 10.91 feet (including where door will be, there is a storm door right now)
smaller wall height: 105 inches = 8.75 feet

Boy, loaded question. Where you live can have a lot to do with the cost of your project. It does not sound like a tremendous amount of work and if you are doing it yourself you can save a lot more. My guess and it is strickly a guess is you will spend somewhere between a low of $750 to around $1,500 to do this project.
