Did you know our company is a full-service General Contractor, capable of mobile home removal and new manufactured home setup services? It’s true. We have a full team dedicated to the removal of old mobile homes and the installation of new custom manufactured homes. Our expertise includes single-wide installations, double-wide manufactured homes, triple-wides, rooftop deck manufactured homes, two-story manufactured homes, and two-story homes with a third-story rooftop deck. Our team can handle every aspect of your new home project.
How do you remove an old mobile home?
One of our consultants will visit the home site to assess the condition of the existing mobile home. We inspect the roof, interior, undercarriage, and exterior landscaping and concrete work. We also evaluate the time required to remove old awnings, planters, trees, sheds, concrete, sidewalks, and steps.
Our mobile home consultant will look underneath the home to inspect the condition of the old axles and tires. In some cases, these have been removed and will need to be reinstalled before the home can be pulled out. Once the assessment is complete, our consultant will provide a written estimate for separating the old home into individual chassis, removing the skirting and awnings, and hauling the home away. In some situations, you may even be paid for the old home, which can be sent to Mexico to be repurposed.
What happens after the old mobile home is removed?
Once the old mobile home is removed from the lot, a demolition crew is sent in with a bobcat to clear the site completely. The crew will remove and haul away all remaining debris from the mobile home lot, including old sheds, driveways, sidewalks, porches, and patio enclosures. The only elements that will remain are the utilities.
After the site is cleared and cleaned, the manufactured home installation team will review the dimensions of the new home. They will measure the entire lot and determine the optimal placement of the new home. At that point, they will prepare the road base in the area where the home will be installed. This road base raises the grade so water cannot drain underneath the new home. Once the road base is installed and compacted, the site is ready for delivery.
Installing a new manufactured home
At this stage, the new manufactured home is ready to be delivered. We handle the entire permitting process and obtain all necessary approvals from park management. Our team coordinates directly with the mobile home dealer you purchased your home from, such as Mobile Home Agents, our sister company.
We review the purchase agreement and confirm which factory is building your home. The factory typically takes 8–12 weeks to produce a new custom manufactured home. We also coordinate with the transport company responsible for delivering the home from the factory to the site. Once the home is completed, it is shipped to the property, and our team is on-site the day of delivery to ensure the home is positioned exactly as planned.
Setup of your new manufactured home
Once the manufactured home is delivered, our crew uses rolling jacks to align the sections and connect them at the floor and roof marriage lines. After the home is perfectly positioned, we install all required and approved piers beneath the home, securing them to the chassis. We also install the required tie-down system at designated locations around the perimeter.
The next step is connecting the main utilities, including water, gas, waste, and electrical service. Finally, we close everything up at the roof, complete the interior drywall, finish the flooring, and install the skirting. The home is then ready for inspection by the Department of Housing Manufactured Home Installation inspector.
Finishing touches
Once the home is set up and inspected, you will receive a Certificate of Occupancy from HCD, allowing you to move in. At this point, finishing touches may still be needed. We can install carport awnings, porches, brickwork, air conditioning units, flooring, custom tile shower surrounds, custom countertops, rooftop decks, garages, custom steps, and more.
There are virtually unlimited options available to enhance both your new home and the lot. Our team can handle it all. We frequently receive requests for vinyl fencing, custom mobile home sheds, manufactured home garages, and built-in outdoor barbecues. Once construction is complete, you can schedule your movers, settle in, and enjoy all the amenities of your new manufactured home.
