We have a large (1800) foot manufactured home. Our side walls are only 7 1/2 foot and our ceilings are vaulted to about 9 foot.

We want to raise the roof so we have 9 foot sides walls - has anyone ever done that or heard of anyone doing it.

Is the cost prohibitive???

Thanks - Carol

I am not aware of anyone trying this. Rebuilding the side walls and somehow supporting the roof would be a very complicated project, so money wise if you hire it out, yes its probably not very cost effective. You would certainly need a construction engineer to survey the project for safety. Tom

Do u know if this was ever done. we are wanting to do the same.

You are talking about removing the roof of your home and rebuilding it... what will you do to protect the contents of your home while it has no roof? How will you calculate the possible need to add additional foundation support? Unless you have a massive amount of construction experience including the ability to re-engineer the homes roof support system you really dont want to consider this.
