MOVING YOUR HOME 101
Mobile Home Moving Services in Richmond, KY
Moving a mobile home can feel overwhelming if you’ve never been through the process before. Our goal is to make your move as smooth and stress‑free as possible. With the right equipment, years of hands‑on experience, and a commitment to safety, we handle every step with care.
​
What We Need to Provide an Accurate Quote
Having a few details ready helps us give you the most accurate estimate for your move. When you call, please be prepared to share:
-
Make of the home
-
Size of the home
-
Wheels, axles, and hitches — whether they are still attached
-
Foundation or skirting — perimeter blocks or skirting currently in place
-
Current location of the home
-
Destination — where the home will be moved
-
Park requirements — if the home is coming from or going to a mobile home park
-
HVAC details — whether a central air unit or heat pump is installed
These details help us estimate labor, equipment needs, and travel requirements. After reviewing your information, we may schedule an on‑site inspection to finalize your quote.
​
Factors That Can Affect the Cost of Your Move
Every property is different, and certain conditions may require additional equipment or time. During our inspection, we look for obstacles such as:
-
Fences or tight property lines
-
Trees, branches, or stumps
-
Ditches or uneven ground
-
Steep driveways or narrow curves
-
Low bridges or overhead power lines
-
Soft soil that may require stabilization
We also check for water lines, septic tanks, and lateral lines, since the weight of a mobile home can cause damage if moved across them.
​
Moving Porches, Decks, and Sheds
Porches & Decks
Most porches and decks are not built with relocation in mind. Posts may be set in concrete, and the height of your new lot may not match the original setup. Transporting a deck in one piece can loosen fasteners and weaken the structure, especially for larger or covered porches. Extra charges apply for any porch or deck work.
Sheds
Sheds must be completely empty before moving. Their condition, size, and construction materials determine whether they can be safely transported. Many sheds require specialized equipment—often provided by the companies that originally sold them—so in many cases, a separate shed‑moving service is needed.
​
Why an On‑Site Visit Matters
Every move is unique. The only way to provide a true, accurate price is to inspect both the current and future locations of your home. Once we’ve completed the inspection, we can give you a firm quote and outline exactly what will be required to complete the job safely.
