Cathance Mobile Home Movers specializes in relocating single-wide and multi-section manufactured homes with an emphasis on planning, safety, and predictable timelines. From the first call, we gather the details that matter—overall width, height, and length; frame condition and towing gear; access at origin and destination; and any special clearance concerns—so the route we design is both legal and practical. Our team handles oversize/overweight permits, schedules pilot/escort vehicles when state rules require them, and coordinates the best move window based on daylight, traffic, and weather. On move day, your crew and dispatcher stay in close contact, and when the home arrives we handle set-down and leveling so doors open cleanly, windows track properly, and the structure sits square.
We transport single-wide homes as a single unit when route and regulations allow. Double-wide and other multi-section homes are split, transported in coordinated sections, and re-joined and aligned at destination according to scope. We also relocate manufactured and modular homes case-by-case, factoring in foundation style, access limits, and site requirements. If you have attached features—steps, decks, awnings, skirting—we’ll include removal and re-installation in scope when requested or coordinate trusted partners.
Every successful move starts with good information. We confirm dimensions and travel height, review frame and running gear, collect site photos, and assess access at both ends. We then complete a route study, obtain required oversize/overweight permits, and schedule pilot/escort vehicles where mandated. In the days before move-out, we finalize site prep (utility disconnections by licensed trades, removing or securing exterior features) and inspect axles, tires, tongue, and safety chains. On move day, your dispatcher provides live updates as the driver follows the surveyed route. At destination, we position the home exactly where planned, block and level it so doors and windows operate correctly, and—if in scope—anchor/tie-down to applicable code or manufacturer guidelines.
We confirm dimensions (width/height/length), gross weight, axles/tongue condition, and route clearances (bridges, tree canopy, utilities).
We pull required oversize/overweight permits and schedule pilot/escort vehicles as state law dictates.
Skirting, steps, and utilities are removed/secured; interior is packed; appliances are locked; loose items are secured.
We install/inspect axles, tires, and tow gear; secure structural points; and set travel height within legal limits.
Professional drivers follow the surveyed route, daylight restrictions, and weather windows; dispatch tracks progress.
On arrival, we place blocks/piers, level, anchor/tie-down per local code, and reattach skirting/stairs (if included).
Door/window operation, frame/joist checks, and final walk-through. Utility reconnection is coordinated or referred (licensed pros as required).
You’ll receive a line-item quote that separates the base move, required permits, escorts, and optional services like tear-down, set-up, leveling, anchoring, skirting, or repairs. Costs reflect distance and route complexity, home size and verified weight, site access, and any special equipment. Typical ballparks (not promises): single-wide transport can range from low-thousands for straightforward local moves; double-wide moves trend higher due to additional sections and setup time. Setup, skirting, leveling, and related services are quoted to the conditions on your site so there are no surprises.
A smooth transport ends with a smart setup. Our crew prepares the pad or foundation, blocks and levels your home for correct operation of doors and windows, and—when specified—anchors and ties down to code for long-term stability. We coordinate utility hookups with licensed providers (water, sewer/septic, electric, gas) and align schedules so you’re not waiting on critical services.
When setup is in scope, expect: site prep aligned to code, correct blocking and leveling, anchoring per local requirements or manufacturer specs, and coordinated utility timing.
Homes settle over time. Soil shifts, moisture, and wear can lead to sloped floors, doors that stick, window gaps, and stress on plumbing, HVAC, and electrical runs. Our leveling service begins with a foundation and pier inspection, followed by precision jacking and adjustments to restore true level. We then reinforce and stabilize supports to help prevent re-occurrence. Addressing leveling early protects the frame, reduces interior damage, and improves comfort and safety.
Skirting protects the underside, improves efficiency, and finishes the look of your home. We install and service skirting to match your goals—vinyl for value and low maintenance, metal for durability, stone/brick-look panels for premium curb appeal, or concrete/permanent solutions where codes require it. Properly detailed skirting helps with insulation, ventilation, and pest control, and adds structural confidence by shielding supports from the elements. If your existing skirting is damaged, we replace sections, correct ventilation issues, and tighten up access panels to prevent moisture problems.
From urgent fixes to planned upgrades, we handle specialized mobile home repairs with materials and methods suited to manufactured structures. Structural reinforcement, floor/wall/ceiling repairs, roof leak remediation and resealing, plumbing fixes and upgrades, electrical corrections and fixture installs, and door/window alignment are common requests we complete efficiently. For larger improvements, we perform kitchen/bath refreshes, new flooring and cabinetry, and interior updates that respect weight and attachment limits. One team, one plan—so the work complements your transport and setup goals.
If your project includes septic work, we coordinate with licensed partners for site evaluation and soil testing, correct tank sizing, field layout, permit compliance, and final connection sequencing. Because septic design depends on soil and regulation, we schedule this early so transport, placement, and utility tie-ins proceed without costly delays. Ongoing maintenance options are available through our providers to protect your investment.
Skirting, steps, and utilities are removed/secured; interior is packed; appliances are locked; loose items We operate with the licenses and insurance appropriate for manufactured home transport and follow best practices for load securement and in-route inspections. The move is planned with documented clearances and legal speeds for the configuration in use. You’ll have a single dispatcher during the active move so you always know who to call and what’s next. If utility reconnection is part of your project, we’ll coordinate with licensed providers or refer you to trusted partners; many jurisdictions require licensed trades for final hookups.are secured.
Yes. We obtain the required oversize/overweight permits and schedule pilot or escort vehicles wherever state rules require them. We also plan the legal route, confirm bridge and overhead clearances, and coordinate any utility or police escorts that may be needed for specific segments.

We complete a pre-move assessment that confirms dimensions, travel height, frame and axle condition, tongue and coupler readiness, tire status, site access at both ends, and route constraints. Based on that, we finalize permits, schedule escorts, and give you a realistic window for loading, transit, and set-down.
These items are not automatically included because each property is different. If you want us to handle removal and reinstallation, tell us during quoting so we can add it to your scope. Permanent structures, masonry, and custom decks may require a separate contractor.
For safety and compliance, utilities should be disconnected and capped by licensed providers (power, water, sewer, gas). We coordinate timing and can refer trusted trades. Reconnection typically happens after we set and level the home at the destination.
Light, secured items can remain if they are packed and cabinets are latched, but heavy furniture, loose electronics, mirrors, and breakables should be removed or boxed and braced. Appliances must be secured and locked. Anything that could shift and cause damage should be taken out.
If leveling and anchoring are in your scope, we block the home on properly rated supports, level it so doors and windows operate correctly, and anchor or tie it down per local code or manufacturer guidelines. If anchoring is handled by a third party, we coordinate handoff.
Distance and route complexity, the home’s dimensions and weight, access at each site, the services included in scope (tear-down, set-up, leveling, anchoring, skirting), and seasonal or weather constraints all play a role. Your estimate is line-itemed so you can see where costs come from.
Lead time depends on permit processing and escort availability in your states. Many moves can be scheduled within a few business weeks, but complex routes or peak seasons can extend timelines. Once scheduled, most single-wide moves finish within a day or two; multi-section moves may take longer due to set-up.
We follow state oversize rules and our own safety thresholds. Light rain is often manageable, but high winds, ice, or poor visibility can trigger a pause. If weather threatens safety or legality, we’ll reschedule to the next safe window.
We carry appropriate transport and liability coverage and follow documented securement procedures. Your contract and Bill of Lading explain coverage levels, exclusions for pre-existing conditions, and how to file a claim. We encourage you to walk the home with our crew before and after the move to note conditions.
We aim to position it precisely, provided ground conditions, access, and clearances allow it. If the site is soft, sloped, or obstructed, we may recommend adjustments or mats to protect the surface and ensure safe placement.
Make sure utilities are disconnected and capped, skirting and steps are removed if not in our scope, interiors are secured, vehicles are moved off the approach path, and low branches or obstacles are addressed. Have a site contact available at both origin and destination for decisions and sign-off.
Yes. We work with homeowners, mobile home parks, dealers, builders, and developers. If your park or HOA has special rules or time windows, share them during booking so we can align permits and escorts.
