What you need to know

Most Mobile Home Transport companies are small local operators that cover a few hundered miles. Most, if not all, of their business comes from dealers who need to move old homes off a space and a new home on to the space.

A word of warning: attempting to organize the moving of a Mobile Home is not advisable. This is where hiring a general contractor (or dealer) for the whole process is well worth the money spent. In California you can be your own contractor, called an owner/builder. Business and Professions Code section 7044 allows the homeowner to do the work him/herself. While it is certainly a good idea to hire a contractor, it is not required. Check with the California HCD before undertaking these complicated tasks.

Now, hiring a mover is basically the same as hiring any contractor. Look for obvious warning signs, most of which are just as simple as a lack of professionalism (no website, dirty old equipment, etc.).

Make sure of these simple things:

Ask for previously helped customers and call them
Get every thing in writing
Ask for their insurance and license information

How to find one

Well, hopefully you have taken our advice above and are not trying to do this your self, meaning coordinating the removal and set up, nor coordinating the purchase from a factory and moving and set up - this can only get you in trouble.
