-- With the rising demand for affordable housing and alternative homeownership solutions, Florida-based service provider Mobile Home Movers Florida is launching a comprehensive statewide initiative to streamline the mobile home installation process for residents across the Sunshine State.
In response to surging interest in manufactured homes — driven by affordability, customizability, and land ownership — Mobile Home Movers Florida aims to bridge the critical gap between purchasing a mobile home and getting it properly installed. The service specializes in connecting homeowners with licensed mobile home installers, permitting experts, and related contractors throughout Central and South Florida.
The Gap Between Buying and Living
Industry data shows that thousands of Florida residents are turning to manufactured housing every year. However, many buyers are left stranded when it comes to setting up their new homes. Major manufacturers like Home Nation deliver high-quality homes at competitive prices, but often do not provide installation services.
“We found that many buyers get excited about choosing their home, only to discover that the setup process is more complex than they expected,” said a spokesperson from Mobile Home Movers Florida. “You need permits, site plans, licensed contractors, and coordination across electric, plumbing, septic, HVAC, and more. Most people have no idea where to begin.”
A Protected Industry With High Demand
Mobile home setup in Florida is a licensed and regulated trade, with rules varying from county to county. Installers must be bonded and insured, and each project typically requires inspections, detailed site plans, and a range of supporting contractors. Services may include:
- Land clearing and pad preparation
- Foundation blocking and hurricane anchoring
- Septic and well integration
- Electric, water, and plumbing connections
- Skirting, stairs, and trim-out
- Permitting and inspection coordination
While some buyers prefer to act as their own project manager, others opt for all-in-one services that deliver a turnkey experience. Mobile Home Movers Florida helps homeowners choose the right path based on their budget, location, and level of involvement.
A Real-World Example: 9100 Atlas Drive
To demystify the installation process, Mobile Home Movers Florida has documented a recent project at 9100 Atlas Drive. The land was purchased with an old, fire-damaged mobile home that needed full demolition. After removal, a new manufactured home was ordered, delivered, and installed using Florida-certified installers.
The total project cost exceeded $250,000 when factoring in:
- $89,000 for the home itself
- Over $60,000 in site work (pad, septic, well, electric)
- $7,000 for demolition and lot clearing
- Permit and planning fees
- Additional costs for trim-out, stairs, and inspections
“This kind of transparency is key,” said Jason, a member of the project team. “Most people don’t realize that the installation process often costs more than the house. We want to educate homeowners upfront so they don’t get blindsided by hidden fees.”
Serving All Corners of Florida — From Ocala to Palm Bay
With strong connections to licensed installers across Florida, Mobile Home Movers Florida is building a network that can serve individual buyers, landowners, and even mobile home park developers. The team currently operates in high-demand areas such as:
- Marion County (Ocala)
- Lake and Sumter Counties
- West Palm Beach and Charlotte County
- Palm Bay and the Treasure Coast
Their network includes permit coordinators, like Lauren Lopez — an experienced project lead and authorized permit agent — as well as on-the-ground crews handling everything from land clearing to final trim-out.
“We’ve already built or managed more than eight installations across the state,” said David Wolf, one of the core team members. “And we’re just getting started.”
More Than Just Setup: Future Services in the Works
Beyond installation, Mobile Home Movers Florida is exploring additional services, including:
- Permit coordination: Helping buyers get their site plans and paperwork approved efficiently
- Buyer’s guides and cost calculators: Tools that show realistic expectations based on region and property type
- Pre-screened contractor directory: Connecting clients with reputable, licensed professionals in their area
- Project management: Full oversight from land to move-in
There are also plans to launch a free educational resource hub for mobile homeowners, covering common challenges like drainage planning, foundation requirements, zoning setbacks, and more.
Why Now?
The timing couldn’t be better. With Florida’s aging mobile home stock, increasing hurricane risks, and rising housing prices, more families are seeking new, code-compliant homes. In counties like Charlotte and Marion, hundreds of mobile home installation permits have been filed in the past 12 months alone.
Meanwhile, outdated directories and lack of transparency make it hard for buyers to identify reliable installers. “This industry is way behind on digital lead generation and service matching,” said another team member. “Our mission is to raise the standard and make this process less stressful for homeowners.”
A Brighter Future for Manufactured Housing
Mobile Home Movers Florida isn’t just offering a service — they’re helping rebuild and modernize housing across the state.
“Affordable housing should still mean quality housing,” said Wolf. “With proper installation, today’s manufactured homes can rival site-built homes in comfort, efficiency, and design. We want to help people unlock that potential without the confusion and cost overruns.”
Whether you're installing a new double-wide on your own land, rebuilding after a storm, or replacing an aging unit in a 55+ community, Mobile Home Movers Florida is your go-to partner for licensed, professional support.
