Mobile Home Skirting & Trim in Hattiesburg, MS
Skirting closes in the open space under a manufactured home. Without it, the home sits up on bare blocks with the crawl space open to animals, wind, and cold. A good skirt keeps that space enclosed, protects the pipes, and finishes the look of the home so it reads as a house and not a home on blocks.
Hattiesburg Mobile Home Movers installs and replaces skirting across Forrest County and the Pine Belt. We fit it on homes we set up and on homes that have been on the ground for years, with a written price and the material options up front.
Vinyl, Metal, Faux-Rock, and Block
Each material has its place. Vinyl is the popular choice: low cost, clean look, and easy to replace a panel when one cracks. Metal is tougher and stands up to knocks. Faux-rock and block give the home a permanent, finished base that looks built in. We price the options against how long each lasts so you choose with the numbers in front of you, not a sales pitch for the priciest panel.
Vents and an Access Door
A skirt is not just a wall around the base. Vented panels let air move through the crawl space so moisture does not sit under the home, which matters in the humid Pine Belt. An access door lets you or a plumber reach the pipes, the tie-downs, and the piers without pulling panels off. We build both into every skirt we install.
What Skirting Protects
An open crawl space is an invitation. Animals nest under the home. Winter cold gets at the water lines and freezes them on a hard Pine Belt night. Wind pushes up under the floor and drives the heating bill up. Skirting closes all of that off. It also hides the piers and the underpinning, so the base of the home looks finished.
Replacing Damaged Skirting
Skirting takes a beating. Panels crack, blow loose, or get torn off in a storm. We replace damaged skirt with fresh panels, new vents, and a new access door. When a whole side is gone, a full replacement usually looks better and costs less than patching one panel at a time.
What Skirting Costs
Skirting runs $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the home size and the material. Vinyl on a single-wide is at the low end; faux-rock or block on a double-wide runs higher. Every skirting job gets a free written quote with the materials laid out.

What kinds of skirting do you install?
Vinyl, metal, faux-rock, and block. Vinyl is the common choice and the least cost. Metal is tougher. Faux-rock and block give the home a permanent, finished look. Every skirt we install has vented panels and an access door, so the crawl space breathes and you can reach the pipes and tie-downs under the home.
Why do I need skirting?
Skirting encloses the crawl space under the home. It keeps out animals that nest under an open home, protects the water pipes from freezing on a cold Pine Belt night, and blocks wind from getting under the floor. Many parks require it. It also finishes the look of the home, so it does not sit up on open blocks.
Does skirting need vents?
Yes. Vented panels let air move through the crawl space so moisture does not build up under the home. Sandy Pine Belt ground and humid air make ventilation matter. We set the vents the home needs and add an access door so you or a plumber can get under the home when something needs checking.
How much does skirting cost?
Skirting usually runs $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the home size and the material. Vinyl on a single-wide is at the low end. Faux-rock or block on a double-wide runs higher. You get a written price with the material options laid out.
Can you replace old or storm-damaged skirting?
Yes. Skirting cracks, blows loose, or gets torn off in a storm. We pull the damaged panels and install a fresh skirt with new vents and an access door. If a whole side is gone, a full replacement often looks better and costs less than patching panel by panel.
Do you install skirting on a home you did not move?
Yes. Skirting is its own job. Whether we set the home or not, we can enclose the crawl space. If the home is also sitting unevenly, we can check the piers and re-level it at the same time so the skirt lines up straight.
