Mobile home repair, tie-downs, roof-overs and floors for Bartow and Alturas. Free quotes from one local pro.
About 520 mobile homes sit inside Bartow, about 6.5% of its housing, and about 94% of the occupied ones were built before 2000. Nearby Alturas is a different story: more than half of its homes are mobile homes. After Hurricane Charley in 2004, state inspectors in Bartow and Lake Wales found almost total destruction of aluminum carports, sheds and lanais. So check that anything attached to your home is free standing, and have tie-downs inspected before hurricane season.
