Mobile Home Transport Prices & Setup: 2026 Cost Estimator
Planning a move in South Texas or the Hill Country? At Statewide Mobile Home Transport, we believe in transparent pricing. Understanding mobile home transport prices is the first step in protecting your investment. While every project is unique—especially with our specialized 15ft Phoenix Lift capability—this guide provides the standard rates for moving your home safely and professionally.
1. Standard Mobile Home Transport Price Estimates
Note: Prices vary based on home size (Single-wide vs. Double-wide), total mileage, and specific site requirements.
| Service Category | Estimated Price Range | What’s Included |
| Breakdown & Prep | $1,500 – $3,500 | Tire/axle inspection, hitching, and securing for travel. |
| Transport (First 50 Miles) | $2,500 – $5,500 | Professional hauling with permits and escort vehicles. |
| Standard Setup | $2,000 – $4,500 | Blocking, leveling (Standard height), and tie-downs. |
| BFE High-Sets (10-15ft) | Custom Quote | Utilizing the Patented Phoenix Lift System for flood zones. |
2. Long-Distance & Extended Service Fees
For moves involving significant travel or multi-day setups, the following additional mobile home transport prices apply:
- Additional Mileage: Beyond the initial 50-mile radius, transport rates typically range from $10–$20 per mile, per section. This covers fuel, wear and tear, and specialized pilot car fees for oversized loads.
- Overnight Fees: If a project requires our crew to stay on-site or if travel restrictions prevent a same-day delivery, an Overnight Fee (Per Crew Member/Per Night) will be applied. This ensures our team is rested and ready to perform a high-precision set the following morning.
- Deadhead Fees: Depending on the location, a fee may apply for the return trip of the empty rig to our main hub in South Texas.
3. Factors That Influence Your Mobile Home Transport Quote
Several variables can impact your final estimate:
- Wind Zone Requirements: Coastal areas like Rockport and Victoria require specialized anchoring and hardware to meet Wind Zone II standards.
- Site Accessibility: Whether the terrain is rocky (Fredericksburg) or sandy (Coastal Bend), soil type determines the equipment needed for a precision level set.
- The Phoenix Lift Advantage: If you are in a flood-prone area, our 15ft lift capability ensures you meet BFE requirements without the massive expense of a crane.
TDHCA requires manufactured homes in designated Texas Gulf Coast counties (Wind Zone II) to be constructed and installed to withstand 100 mph winds, featuring strengthened roofs, walls, and enhanced, or longitudinal, anchoring systems. Homes built on or after September 1, 1997, must meet these higher standards to be installed in Zone II, while Zone I homes (70 mph) are generally restricted to inland areas.Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (.gov)
- Key Texas Wind Zone Requirements (TDHCA):
- Wind Zone I (Inland): Most of Texas, including Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Homes must withstand 70 mph winds.
- Wind Zone II (Coastal/High-Risk): Texas Gulf Coast counties. Homes must be designed for 100 mph winds.
- Installation Requirements: In Wind Zone II, homes require stronger anchoring systems to resist longitudinal (end-to-end) wind forces.
- Post-Sept. 1, 1997 Rule: A manufactured home built on or after September 1, 1997, must be Wind Zone II compliant to be installed in a designated Wind Zone II county.
- Pre-1997 Homes: Homes built before September 1, 1997, can be installed in either Zone I or II without restrictions.
- Data Plate Check: Always verify the Wind Zone on the home’s data plate, typically located inside a kitchen cabinet or bedroom closet
4. Professional Setup & Finishing Services
While our mobile home transport prices cover the move, the “finish” work ensures long-term stability:
🏗️ Foundation & Base Pads
A home is only as stable as the ground it sits on. We highly recommend a concrete runner system or ABS pads. Without a solid base, the shifting South Texas soil causes “settling,” leading to sticking doors and cracked drywall.
🏠 Custom Skirting Options
Protect your underbelly and boost curb appeal:
- Vinyl: Budget-friendly and clean.
- Metal: Maximum durability against pests.
- Hardi-Board: A permanent, “site-built” look.
- Rock Skirting: Premium masonry finish for maximum value and Hill Country style.
