Fix-It Guide

Please remember: Whenever you are making repairs on your manufactured home, you should be conscious of ladder safety. Make sure you pick the right ladder for the job - use a wooden or plastic ladder if you're working near electrical sources. Check the ladder to make sure it is in good repair, and be sure to put it on a firm, solid surface. The ladder should be at a proper angle, and you should always stay inside the side rails as you work.

NOTE: Do not attempt repair work on your manufactured home if your physical condition would hinder you, or if you feel that the job is too difficult for you. Be realistic about your skill level and your health when deciding what repair jobs you want to do yourself. When in doubt, call a professional.
