Skirting Repair & Installation for your Mobile Home
Your mobile home’s skirting does more than give the property a clean, finished appearance. It helps enclose the space underneath your home and provides a barrier against dust, debris, animals, weather, and other outdoor conditions.
In Arizona, that protection is especially important. Intense sunlight, high temperatures, blowing dust, strong winds, and monsoon storms can gradually wear down skirting or cause sudden damage.
If your skirting is cracked, loose, missing, or pulling away from the home, getting it addressed can help prevent a small problem from becoming a much larger repair.
At Desert Mobile Home Services, we provide mobile home skirting repair, replacement, and installation throughout Arizona.
Depending on the home and the existing system, skirting may be made from materials such as vinyl, metal, or other manufactured skirting products.
A properly installed skirting system helps create a finished enclosure while providing a barrier around the crawl space.
However, skirting is exposed to outdoor conditions year-round. Over time, it can become damaged and may require repair or replacement.
Why Does Mobile Home Skirting Get Damaged?
There are several reasons you may eventually need mobile home skirting repair.
Arizona Sun and Heat
Constant exposure to intense sunlight can cause certain skirting materials to fade, become brittle, crack, or deteriorate over time.
A panel that looked perfectly fine a few years ago may become more fragile as it ages.
Wind and Monsoon Storms
Strong winds can put considerable pressure on skirting panels and their tracks.
A storm may cause a panel to come out of its track, loosen a section, or damage multiple panels at once. If one section is already weakened, a strong wind can make the damage worse.
Physical Damage
Skirting can also be damaged by landscaping equipment, yard work, animals, vehicles, or accidental impact.
Even if the damage is limited to one small area, leaving it open can expose the space underneath your home.
Age and Normal Wear
Like other exterior components, skirting eventually wears out.
Older skirting may have multiple cracks, loose sections, deteriorated tracks, or areas that no longer fit properly.
When the material has reached that point, repairing individual sections may not provide the best long-term solution.
Common Mobile Home Skirting Problems
You may need professional skirting service if you notice:
Cracked or broken panels
Missing sections
Skirting pulling away from the home
Panels coming out of the track
Damaged or loose tracks
Large gaps around the perimeter
Skirting damaged after a storm
Sections that have become brittle or deteriorated
Skirting that no longer fits properly
Some of these problems can be relatively minor, while others may indicate that a larger portion of the skirting needs attention.
Do You Need to Replace All of Your Skirting?
Not necessarily.
If most of your skirting is still in good condition and the damage is limited to a small section, repairing or replacing only the affected area may be the appropriate solution.
For example, if a storm causes several feet of skirting to come out of the track, there may be no reason to replace the entire perimeter if the remaining material is still serviceable.
On the other hand, if your skirting is extensively damaged or has deteriorated throughout the property, a complete replacement may make more sense.
The condition of the existing skirting is what determines the best approach.
At Desert Mobile Home Services, we can evaluate the situation and help determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate for your home.
What Happens When Skirting Comes Out of the Track?
One of the most common problems after strong winds is skirting coming out of its track.
You may be able to see that the panel has moved, but it is important to look at the surrounding area as well.
The panel may have come loose because of wind, damage to the track, deterioration of the material, or movement around the home.
Simply pushing the panel back into place may not permanently solve the problem if the track or panel is damaged.
A proper repair addresses the condition of the affected components so the skirting can be secured appropriately.
What If Your Mobile Home Has Shifted?
If your skirting becomes damaged after your mobile home shifts or moves, the skirting may not be the only thing worth looking at.
Movement can affect how the skirting sits around the home. If you notice new gaps, uneven areas, or sections pulling away after movement, it may be worthwhile to have the situation evaluated.
The skirting could simply need repair, but it can also be a reason to take a closer look at what's happening underneath the home.
When Is Skirting Replacement Necessary?
Repair is not always the best option.
Replacement may be appropriate when your existing skirting is:
Severely cracked
Brittle from age and sun exposure
Missing in multiple areas
Damaged across a large portion of the home
No longer fitting properly
Too deteriorated to repair effectively
Installing new skirting can improve the appearance of your home while restoring the enclosure around the crawl space.
If you're considering a complete replacement, professional installation can also help ensure the skirting is properly measured, fitted, and secured.
Why Should You Repair Damaged Skirting?
It is easy to put off a small skirting repair, especially when the rest of your home is functioning normally.
However, an opening underneath your home can allow outdoor debris, dust, and animals to enter the area more easily.
A damaged section can also become worse when exposed to additional wind or weather.
Taking care of the problem early can help you avoid dealing with a larger damaged area later.
