Modular and manufactured homes
Siding for a new modular or manufactured home set
A modular or manufactured home arrives in sections, and the work that makes it look like one house starts after the set. Palafox Construction sides these homes from the skirting up to the eave, covering the seams where the units meet, the porch walls and the gable ends. Trim and corners go on as the siding does, so every joint is sealed before the weather finds it. On the open lots and acreage around Fruita, Clifton and Delta County, wind and sun hit a new set from day one, which is why the order of the work matters. We hang the siding straight, keep the courses lined up across the seam, and finish the trim so the home reads as one clean build from the street, with no bare seams left for dust, water or wind to work into over the first winter.

What goes on the wall
Lap siding, panel siding, trim and corners
Most homes here need a mix of these three. We help you pick what fits the house, the budget and the look you want, then install it as one system.
Lap siding
Overlapping horizontal boards, the look on most ranch homes and many modular sets. Straight courses and tight laps shed water and keep lines clean across long walls.
Panel siding
Larger sheets that cover a wall quickly. A good fit for gables, porch ends, accent areas and outbuildings where a different texture sets the section apart.
Trim and corners
Corner boards, window and door trim, and the transitions at the soffit and skirting. This is where water gets in first, so we fit and seal it with care.
Built for the Grand Valley
Siding that holds up to wind, sun and freeze
The mesas and open lots around Fruita give a house little shelter. Siding here takes steady wind, hard high-altitude sun and cold nights, and the joints and trim take the worst of it.
Wind on open ground
Courses are fastened and lapped so gusts across the mesa do not lift an edge or whistle through a seam.
Sun and dry heat
Caulk and wood trim dry out fast in this climate, so joints are sealed to move with the wall, not crack open by the second summer.
Freeze and day-to-night swings
Walls expand and shrink between hot afternoons and cold nights. Sealed trim and tight corners keep that movement from opening gaps.

How a siding job goes
Four steps from bare wall to finished siding
Look and quote
We walk the house or the new set, check the walls and the trim, and talk through the material and the look you want.
Prep the wall
Old siding and damaged trim come off where needed. We check the wall underneath and fix what we find before covering it.
Hang the siding
Courses go on straight and level from the skirting up, with corners, windows and doors fitted as we go.
Trim, seal, clean up
Joints and trim are sealed, the details are checked against the weather, and the site is left clean.

Siding questions
Answers before you call
The questions we hear most from homeowners and modular home owners in Fruita and the Grand Valley.
What affects the cost of siding installation in Fruita?
Cost depends mainly on the size of the home, the siding material you choose and how much old siding or damaged trim has to come off first. Extra corners, gables, windows and a second story add labor. Because every house differs, we quote after seeing the walls rather than giving a number over the phone.
Can you side a new modular or manufactured home?
Yes, we side modular and manufactured homes after they are set. That includes the walls from the skirting to the eave, the porch, the gable ends and the seam where the sections meet. We also fit the trim and corners so the finished home reads as one build instead of separate units.
What siding types do you install?
We install lap siding and panel siding, along with the trim and corners that finish them. Lap siding suits most ranch homes and modular sets, while panel siding works well on gables, porch ends and outbuildings. We will talk through which mix fits your house and your budget during the quote.
How does siding hold up in the Grand Valley climate?
Siding here faces strong sun, wind on open lots, dry air and cold nights, so installation details matter. Tight laps, fastened courses and sealed joints and trim keep weather out as the walls expand and shrink. Poorly sealed trim and corners are where most problems start, which is why we focus there.
Which areas do you cover for siding work?
We work from Fruita and serve Grand Junction, Clifton, Montrose, Delta County and Rifle. Modular and ranch homes on lots and acreage are a regular part of that work. If you are not sure whether your address is in range, ask when you request a quote and we will let you know.
