Whether you're selling your home, clearing your land, or relocating your mobile home, this guide is for you.

Let’s explore everything you need to know.

Why Move a Mobile Home?

There are many reasons to move a mobile home:

• You are selling your land but keeping the home.

• You want to use the home in a different location.

• Local laws may require it to be removed.

• You plan to build something new on your land.

No matter the reason, moving a mobile home takes planning and the right team.

That’s why we’ve become experts at this process.

Here’s why you should choose Highway Homes:

• We offer free quotes.

• We are licensed and insured.

Steps to Move a Mobile Home

Let’s break down the process.

1. Free Visit and Estimate

We visit your home and check everything. We note the size, age, and location. Then we give you a quote.

2. Disconnect Utilities

We help disconnect power, water, gas, and internet. This step is very important before moving.

3. Prepare the Home

We install wheels, axles, and a towing hitch. We remove steps, decks, and anything attached to the home.

4. Get Permits

We handle permits from local or state offices. We also plan the best road route for your home.

5. Move the Home

Our drivers carefully move the home to its new location. If it’s a double-wide, we move it in two pieces.

6. Set Up the Home Again

We level the home on the new land. Then we connect utilities again. We also anchor and secure the home.

7. Final Check

We inspect the setup and make sure everything is safe. You get a clean and complete handover.

It’s that simple when you work with Highway Homes.

Can You Move a Mobile Home by Yourself?

Some people ask if they can move their mobile home on their own. Honestly, we do not recommend it.

You need:

• Big trucks and trailers

• Special tools and heavy jacks

• Permits and route approval

• Utility disconnection and reconnection

• Help from experts

Moving a mobile home is not like moving furniture. One small mistake can damage the house or even break local laws.

That’s why many homeowners choose Highway Homes. We handle it all.

Common Questions about Moving Mobile Homes

Let’s answer some real questions people ask us all the time.

How much does it cost to move a mobile home?

Costs depend on:

• Size of the home (single-wide or double-wide)

• Distance of the move

• Prep work needed

• Permits and escort cars

• New site setup

At Highway Homes, we offer fair pricing. We give you a full quote upfront, with no surprises.

Can you move a double-wide home?

Yes, we can. We move double-wide homes in two parts. At the new location, we rejoin and reseal the sections. Our crew makes sure it looks and feels like one home again.

What if the ground is wet or muddy?

Season matters. Moving during rain or after a storm can delay things. Spring and fall are good times to move. But we can still help during summer or winter — we plan around the weather.

What should I do before move day?

Here’s what you can do:

• Remove all outside items like decks and steps.

• Pack things inside the home to avoid damage.

• Shut off all utilities.

• Clear space for trucks to come in.

• Make sure the new land is ready.

We also give you a checklist so nothing gets missed.
