Expert Mobile Home Skirting Services in Lake County
Mobile home skirting is one of the most important protective features of your manufactured home. It encloses the space beneath your home, creating a barrier against pests, weather, and debris while improving energy efficiency and curb appeal. When skirting becomes damaged, missing, or deteriorated, your home loses protection and value.
Pro Specialty Services provides complete mobile home skirting installation and repair throughout Lake County. We work with vinyl, metal, and concrete board skirting materials, each offering different benefits for durability, appearance, and budget. Every installation includes proper ventilation, access doors, and ground-level finishing for lasting performance.
Whether you need a few damaged panels replaced after a lawn mower incident, a complete skirting upgrade for better appearance, or new skirting for a recently purchased home, we deliver quality results at fair prices. We serve mobile home communities from Eustis to Clermont, Lady Lake to Tavares, and throughout Central Florida.
Proper skirting does more than look good—it protects your plumbing from freezing, keeps pests from nesting under your home, reduces energy bills, and maintains your home's structural integrity.

Why Quality Skirting Matters
Pest prevention is a primary benefit of intact skirting. Without proper skirting, animals like raccoons, opossums, armadillos, and feral cats can nest under your home. Rodents can damage wiring and insulation. Insects including termites, ants, and wasps can establish colonies. Snakes seek shelter in the cool, protected space. Proper skirting with ground contact and pest-resistant vents creates an effective barrier against all these invaders.
Energy efficiency improves significantly with quality skirting. The enclosed crawl space beneath your home acts as a buffer zone, reducing heat transfer through your floor. In winter, skirting prevents cold air from circulating under the home and chilling your floors. In summer, it blocks hot air and reduces cooling costs. Damaged or missing skirting can increase energy bills by 15-25% according to industry studies.
Plumbing and HVAC protection is critical in Central Florida. While freezes are rare, they do occur—and exposed water lines under a mobile home can freeze and burst even in brief cold snaps. Your ductwork also runs under the home, and gaps in skirting reduce HVAC efficiency. Proper skirting protects these systems while providing access panels for maintenance.
Skirting Material Options
Vinyl Skirting
Most affordable option at $8-15 per linear foot installed. Lightweight, moisture-resistant, and available in white, tan, and gray. Easy to repair if damaged. Good choice for budget-conscious homeowners.

Aluminum or steel panels at $12-20 per linear foot installed. More durable than vinyl, resistant to impact damage from lawn equipment. Available in various colors. Popular in parks with appearance standards.

Call UsSigns You Need Skirting Repair or Replacement
Visible Holes or Cracks
Any opening allows pests, weather, and debris to enter. Even small holes should be repaired promptly before they expand.
Missing Panels
Storm damage, lawn equipment impacts, or deterioration can remove entire panels, leaving large areas unprotected.
Severe Fading or Discoloration
UV damage weakens vinyl and affects appearance. Heavily faded skirting may be brittle and prone to cracking.
Warped or Bulging Sections
Heat damage, ground pressure, or improper installation can cause panels to warp, creating gaps and an unsightly appearance.
Pest Evidence
Signs of animals entering or nesting under your home indicate skirting failures. Look for burrows, droppings, or damage.
Ground Separation
Settling or erosion can create gaps between skirting and ground. These gaps allow pest entry and reduce energy efficiency.
Moisture or Mold Under Home
Improper ventilation can cause condensation and mold growth. May indicate need for additional vents or skirting replacement.
Age Over 15-20 Years
Vinyl skirting typically lasts 15-20 years. Metal lasts longer but can corrode. If your skirting is original equipment, it may be time for replacement.
Skirting Cost Factors
Home Size
Single-wide homes average 140-160 linear feet of perimeter. Double-wides run 180-220 feet. Larger perimeter means more material and labor.
Material Choice
Vinyl is most affordable. Metal costs 30-50% more. Concrete board is premium. Insulated options add 20-30% to base material cost.
Current Condition
New installation on bare ground differs from replacement. Removing old skirting and addressing ground issues adds to the project.
Access Doors Needed
Standard installations include 1-2 access doors. Additional doors for plumbing, HVAC, or storage access add cost.
Ground Preparation
Level, well-drained ground requires minimal prep. Uneven ground, drainage issues, or heavy vegetation increase labor.
Special Features
Decorative panels, extra vents, lattice tops, or custom colors add to the base price.

All our options work well in Florida's climate. Vinyl is affordable and handles moisture well but can fade and crack over time. Metal is more durable and impact-resistant but costs more.

Yes, proper ventilation is required by code to prevent moisture buildup, mold growth, and condensation under your home. We install the appropriate number of vents based on your home's size—typically one square foot of ventilation per 150 square feet of floor area, with vents placed for cross-ventilation.
Yes, we handle partial repairs and panel replacement. For older skirting, we try to match the existing material and color as closely as possible. If an exact match isn't available, we'll find the closest option and discuss it with you before proceeding.
Yes, intact skirting significantly improves energy efficiency. The enclosed crawl space acts as insulation, reducing heat transfer through your floor. Studies show damaged or missing skirting can increase heating/cooling costs by 15-25%. Insulated skirting panels provide even greater savings.
Properly installed skirting dramatically reduces pest access. We ensure panels make ground contact, use pest-resistant vents, and seal around penetrations. For existing pest problems, we recommend treatment before new skirting installation. We can coordinate with pest control services if needed.
Yes, we can install larger access doors or multiple doors for under-home storage access. This is common for storing seasonal items, lawn equipment, or other belongings. Discuss your storage needs during the estimate.
We can add lattice tops, decorative trim, or other finishing touches to enhance appearance. Many parks have specific requirements for skirting appearance—we're familiar with most local park standards.
Yes, though it requires more preparation. We level the ground along the perimeter, address drainage issues, and may use extended panels or ground contact strips to bridge gaps. Severely uneven sites may need additional site work before skirting installation.
