# Mobile and manufactured home photos that look clean and true

Mobile and manufactured homes have a shape of their own. Single wide homes are long and narrow, ceilings are often lower than in site built houses, and older units may have wood paneling or textured wall boards that absorb light and take on color. Windows are spaced along the long walls, so the ends of the home can be dim, and exteriors often sit in a park next to neighbors. NovaHDR finishes the home as a set with balanced exposure and consistent color, so the living room, kitchen and bedrooms read as one home and buyers see it clearly.

The home is shown as it is: paneling, skirting, decks and the setting are not changed or added.

## How to send a manufactured home for finishing

1. **Export the rooms end to end** Pick the living room, kitchen, each bedroom and bath, any addition or porch, and the exterior with its lot or site. Export one JPEG, PNG or WebP per view; blend bracketed frames in your own software first.
2. **Upload the home as one property** Name the property after the address or lot number and upload up to 50 photos together.
3. **Send, then review** Buy One Property or apply a plan credit, then send the home. Finished photos come back 24 to 72 hours after you send the property for your review before the listing goes up.

## Capture notes for mobile and manufactured homes

Long rooms and low ceilings change how you shoot. These habits make the finished set clearer.

- **Shoot from the ends**: The long axis of a single wide shows depth best. Shoot from one end of the room toward the other.
- **Keep the camera lower**: Lower ceilings look better with the camera a little below chest height and level.
- **Light the ends of the home**: Rooms at each end can be dim. Switch on every light and open every blind.
- **Show the updates**: New flooring, kitchens and baths matter in manufactured home listings. Give them clear frames.
- **Shoot the exterior with its lot**: Include the deck, carport, shed and lot so buyers understand what comes with the home.
- **Mind the paneling**: Wood paneling and textured walls absorb light. Expose for the walls, not just the windows.

## What makes manufactured home photos hard to finish

- **Long, narrow plans**: Single wide homes have rooms in a line, with light mostly from the long walls.
- **Lower ceilings**: Lower ceilings bring overhead fixtures close to the frame, creating hot spots.
- **Paneling and textured walls**: Older wall finishes absorb light and add warm or yellow casts.
- **Park or rural settings**: Exteriors sit close to neighbors or on open lots under a bright sky.
- **One consistent set**: NovaHDR finishes the property as a set with balanced exposure and consistent color, so every room matches.
- **Shown as it is**: Nothing is added, removed or reshaped, and you keep the final review before the photos are published.

## Manufactured home spaces, common problems and what to send

| Space | Common exposure or color problem | What to send or check |
|---|---|---|
| Living room | Paneling absorbs light | A source exposed for the walls |
| Kitchen | Overhead fixture hot spots | Kitchen views with every light on |
| Bedrooms at the ends | Dim, with small windows | All bedrooms in the same upload |
| Bathroom | Small and close | A frame where fixtures read |
| Exterior and lot | Bright sky, shaded skirting | A view that includes deck and lot |

## What does finishing manufactured home photos mean?

Finishing mobile and manufactured home photos is the exposure and color pass on a factory built home: lifting dim ends of a long plan, calming hot spots from low ceiling fixtures and keeping paneled walls from turning yellow. NovaHDR does that work on every view in the property and returns the set for your final review.

_It is not a renovation preview. Paneling, fixtures, skirting and the lot are shown as photographed._

## Manufactured home photo questions

### Will wood paneling look less yellow?

Color is balanced across the set, which brings paneled rooms closer to their real tone.

### Will a single wide look wider?

No. Finishing does not reshape space. Shooting along the length shows the home best.

### Can the neighbors' homes be removed from the exterior?

No. Nothing is removed, so choose an exterior angle that focuses on the home and its lot.

### Will the dim ends of the home be brighter?

Exposure is balanced across the set, bringing darker rooms closer to the rest of the home.

### Can I shoot a manufactured home with a phone?

Yes. Export JPEG, PNG or WebP files; NovaHDR works from single exposures.

### What does a manufactured home cost to finish?

$29 one-time for one property for up to 50 photos.
