Mobile home repair in Solana, FL

Solana is a small unincorporated community just east of Punta Gorda where manufactured homes make up a much larger share of housing than in Port Charlotte. Census estimates count about 167 mobile homes out of roughly 1,150 housing units there, about one in seven homes.

What should older homes here watch for?

Older manufactured homes may have been anchored to earlier standards. Florida's rules recognize different anchor ratings for homes built before and after July 1994, and some pre-1994 homes need over-the-roof ties. If your home is older, ask an installer to check whether its anchoring matches what the rules call for.

What about storms?

Solana sits a few miles from where Hurricane Charley's eyewall struck in 2004 and where Hurricane Ian made its second landfall in 2022. Homes that have been through both storms may have shifted piers, loosened straps or hidden underbelly damage.

What do Solana calls usually involve?

• Re-leveling older homes
