How to Fix up Old Trailer Homes
-
Upgrade the kitchen and bathroom. Replace all fixtures with energy-efficient house units. Replace any boilers or furnaces. Use wall-mounted heating units for easier cleaning and maintenance.
-
Remove the flooring. Cut out damaged areas of the subfloor and walls. Replace with new wood cut to size. Install tile or carpeting over the finished subflooring.
-
Replace the walls and ceilings with drywall. Add insulation between the exterior walls and the drywall. Install wood trim and molding along the edges of the drywall to create a finished look.
-
Paint the walls and ceiling with light colors to add the appearance of space to the trailer.
-
Replace old countertops and flooring. You may want to replace the cabinets if they are the original units. Construct built-in units for corners to increase storage within the rooms.
