Artistic Rendering
While often spoken of interchangeably with modular homes, there are differences between manufactured homes and their modular counterparts. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, modular homes and manufactured homes differ mainly in how and where they are built, as well as the building codes they follow. Modular homes are constructed in sections within a factory and then assembled on a permanent foundation at the building site. They must comply with the same provincial and local building codes as traditional site-built homes. Meanwhile, manufactured homes may also be factory-built, but are constructed on a permanent steel chassis and follow the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) code specific to manufactured housing. While modular homes are generally treated like conventional homes in terms of financing and resale value, manufactured homes may have different zoning, financing, and depreciation considerations. But what about painting their interiors and exteriors? If you are in fact looking for information about painting modular home walls and exteriors, click here.

Can You Effectively Paint a Manufactured Home?
Interiors
Painting the interior of a manufactured home in Winnipeg requires professional surface preparation, quality materials, and attention to the unique wall finishes often used in manufactured housing. A professional will ensure that walls are cleaned thoroughly, repaired if damaged, and lightly sanded to help paint adhere, especially if vinyl-coated wall panels are present. A high-adhesion primer is usually recommended before applying interior latex paint to ensure durability and an even finish. Given the climate of south-central region of Manitoba, using moisture-resistant paints in manufactured home kitchens and bathrooms is especially important to help prevent issues with mold and condensation.
Exteriors
Painting the exterior of a manufactured home in Winnipeg requires careful preparation and the use of weather-resistant materials suited to the province’s harsh and highly-seasonal climate. Exterior surfaces such as metal, vinyl, or wood siding (those common to a manufactured home) must be professionally cleaned to remove dirt, mildew, and peeling paint before repairs and sanding are completed. A suitable exterior primer and high-quality paint designed for the specific siding material are important to ensure long-lasting adhesion and protection against moisture, snow, UV exposure, and temperature changes. Painting is best done during mild, dry weather to allow proper curing, so if you find this during the late spring, summer, or early autumn, now is the time to proceed with the project. Homeowners must also hire a professional to ensure adherence to local safety regulations.
Manufactured Home Deck-Finishing
Deck attachments are becoming common features for contemporary manufactured homes, especially for those located along the waterfront and on rural farmland near Winnipeg, where owner-occupants can enjoy the sights and sounds of the great expanse put forth by Mother Nature. Because manufactured homes have a lightweight, structural frame – rather than the heavy framing of a traditional stick-built home – most decks are freestanding, although talented contractors can make them permanent attachments. In either case, repainting of a manufactured home should also include deck refinishing (where applicable) which is another service that Buhle Painting & Decorating provides.
