Utilities come off first
Power, water, gas and sewer all have to be properly disconnected before anything moves, and in most cases that means the utility companies and a plumber, not you with a wrench. Start these calls early — waiting on a disconnect appointment is the most common thing that delays a move.
Everything added since it was set has to be dealt with
Decks, porches, steps, skirting, add-on rooms, carports, sheds attached to the side: if it was not on the home when it left the factory, it does not travel with it. Some of it can be removed and reused, some of it cannot, and knowing which is which is worth finding out before moving week.
The home gets prepped for the road
Axles, wheels and hitch have to be back on and serviceable, the frame gets inspected, and the interior gets secured — cabinets latched, anything loose packed or removed. An older home that has sat for years needs more of this than most owners expect.
Permits and routing get sorted
An oversize load needs a permit for every state it crosses and sometimes an escort. Route matters too: low bridges, tight turns, weight-restricted county roads and overhead lines all shape the path a home can actually take. This is our job, not yours, but it is the reason a move needs lead time.
The new site has to be ready
Access for a long, wide load, ground firm enough to work on, and the pad or blocking plan settled. Once the home is there it gets blocked, levelled and anchored, and the halves of a multi-section home get joined and closed up. Call (601) 755-8552 and we will walk you through what your specific home and site need.
