Mobile Home Skirting & Trim in Jonesboro, AR
Skirting is the panel that closes the gap between the bottom of a manufactured home and the ground. It is the last step that makes a home look finished, and it does real work: it keeps animals out, protects the pipes, and in most parks it is required. Jonesboro Mobile Home Movers installs skirting across Jonesboro and Craighead County.
What Skirting Is For
An open crawl space is a problem. Dogs, cats, possums, and snakes get under the floor. The winter wind blows straight across the water lines and freezes them. And an open base makes even a nice home look unfinished. Skirting solves all three. It encloses the crawl space, blocks the wind off the pipes, and gives the home a clean line at the ground.
Materials That Fit the Home
We install vinyl, metal, faux-rock, and block skirting. Vinyl is the common choice and the easiest on the budget. Faux-rock and block read like a real house foundation and take a knock without denting, which matters on a rural lot with equipment and stock around. We help you pick the material that fits the home and the money, and we install it clean and straight.
Vented Panels and an Access Door
A crawl space has to breathe. We fit vented panels so moisture does not sit under the floor and rot it, and we set an access door so the plumbing and the underpinning stay reachable. A skirt with no vents and no door traps water and hides the piers, and that is a repair waiting to happen. We build it right the first time.
Part of the Set-Up or on Its Own
Skirting is often the finish step on a new set-up, but we also skirt homes that have sat open for years. If your current skirt is cracked, blown loose, or missing panels, we can replace it. An old vinyl skirt that has gone brittle in the Arkansas sun is a common call.
What It Costs
Skirting runs about $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the home size, the height off the ground, and the material. Block and faux-rock sit at the top of the range, vinyl at the bottom. Every quote is free and measured to your home.

What does skirting do for a mobile home?
Skirting encloses the crawl space around the base of the home. It keeps animals out from under the floor, protects the water pipes from freezing in a cold snap, and gives the home a finished look. Many parks require it. It also cuts the draft under the floor in winter.
How much does skirting cost?
Skirting runs about $1,000 to $3,000. The price depends on the size of the home, the height off the ground, and the material you pick. A block or faux-rock skirt costs more than plain vinyl. We measure the home and quote the real number.
What skirting materials do you install?
We install vinyl, metal, faux-rock, and block skirting. Vinyl is the common, budget choice. Faux-rock and block look more like a house foundation and stand up to knocks. We fit vented panels and an access door on every job so the crawl space breathes and stays reachable.
Why does skirting need vents?
A closed crawl space traps moisture, and trapped moisture rots the floor and grows mold. Vented panels let the space breathe so it stays dry. We set the vents to code and add an access door so the plumbing and the underpinning stay reachable for service.
Does skirting keep pipes from freezing?
It helps. Skirting blocks the wind under the home so the pipes are not exposed to the open cold. In a hard Arkansas freeze that is often enough to keep a line from bursting. For extra protection we can point you to heat-tape on the lines, but the skirt is the first defense.
