Skirting is the panel wall that closes in the space between the bottom of a manufactured home and the ground. It improves the look of the home, but it also does real work. It keeps animals out, blocks wind and debris, and helps protect plumbing and ductwork underneath.
Vinyl skirting is the most common type. It is affordable and easy to replace in sections, but intense sun can make it brittle and faded over time, and it cracks easily when hit. Other options include metal panels, faux stone or brick panels, and more permanent block or masonry skirting. Each has tradeoffs in cost, look, durability, and how easy it is to get under the home for service.
Bullhead City sits along the Colorado River in one of the hottest parts of the country, and summer highs regularly pass 110 degrees. The area has a large number of manufactured homes, both in parks and on private lots. Heat cycles, monsoon downpours that soak sandy desert soils, and runoff that pools under homes all work against piers and footings. Many owners are seasonal residents who return in the fall to find doors sticking or new cracks, which is often the first sign something has shifted.
Common repair needs include panels that have blown out in wind, cracked or brittle sections, panels pushed in by animals or yard equipment, missing access doors, and damaged top or bottom rails. Skirting can also be damaged during leveling if it is not removed first, so many crews take sections off before lifting and reinstall them afterward.
Ventilation matters. Skirting should include vents so moisture under the home can escape, and there should be an access panel large enough to reach water lines and the underside of the home. Pests are a real concern in the desert, so gaps along the ground are worth closing to keep out rodents and other critters.
When requesting skirting work, it helps to share the length of the run, the type of skirting you have now, and whether you want to match it or switch to something new.
Usually yes, if matching panels are available. Faded vinyl may look different next to new panels.
Yes. Vents let moisture escape from under the home and help prevent mold and rot.
