The cost to move a mobile home, if you hire a commercial company, typically ranges between $10,000 and $13,000. This cost depends on factors such as the age and condition of the home, as well as the difficulty involved in moving it. For instance, if the mobile home is situated in a wooded or rocky area, the price can increase significantly.
But if you simply want to get rid of a mobile home, you have a few options. You can pay to have someone move it off of your property, or you can pay mobile home demolition and removal costs. And how much does it cost to demo a mobile home? Thousands more dollars.
Either way, mobile home disposal costs can get up to the thousands and tens of thousands of dollars.
And, quite often, we find that many people simply want to dispose of their mobile home, rather than relocate it or attempt to sell it. (We find this is the case, especially when the mobile home is old and has seen a lot of wear and tear.) It seems a shame to pay so much money for demolition costs and disposal fees or to move your home to a mobile home park when it’s something that you’re simply trying to get rid of.
Four Ways to Remove a Mobile Home
Depending on the condition of the home, you may be able to get it removed for free, or you may have to pay to get it hauled off. Below, we’ve broken down 4 possible ways to get rid of a mobile home off your land:
1) Determine if the mobile home is still livable. If it is, Bayan Mobile Home Removal Service will remove your single or double-wide mobile home for free when you donate the home.
2) If you think that your mobile home is too far gone to be repaired or lived in, you should contact your local municipal garbage service or solid waste vendor. They may be able to remove your trailer home as part of their garbage collection services.
3) If your mobile home has been damaged by a weather event, such as a hurricane or tornado, and is no longer livable, contact FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Association). They might get rid of your mobile home if they deem it a public health hazard.
4) Finally, you could contact a mobile home mover and transport service. But bear in mind, that transport-only move is already a costly service, ranging from $700-$3,500. For a full move, as we mentioned previously, you will have to pay up to $10,000 or even more.
