If you are not a professional roofing contractor or a very experienced handyman, capable of larger home improvement projects, you will likely find it very difficult and time-consuming to put a tin roof on your mobile home. If you are replacing your mobile home roof, you might want to make sure it’s actually tin you need. And, even though a tin roof, when installed properly, can last up to 40 years; keep in mind that tin has been known to actually decrease the value of a property and possibly the neighborhood you live in too… so while you think you are saving yourself some money now, it may cost you in the long run.

You may think your roof is made of tin, but then find out it is really aluminum or steel, which both have different positive and negative qualities. Tin may last up to 40 years, steel can last even longer.
