Setup & Installation
Tear-down, re-set, blocking, marriage-line joins, and skirting — your manufactured home installed correctly from the ground up.
Getting a mobile home to its new site is only half the job. How it is set on that site determines whether doors close smoothly, floors stay level, and the home holds up for decades. Our manufactured home setup and installation service takes over where transport ends and turns a delivered home into a finished, move-in-ready one — blocked, leveled, joined, and secured the right way.
What our setup service includes
We handle the complete installation process from the old site to the new one. That means safely tearing the home down where it stands now, transporting it, and re-setting it on a properly prepared foundation. Every step follows manufacturer specifications and local installation codes.
- Tear-down: utility disconnection, skirting and anchor removal
- Re-set onto piers, runners, or a prepared pad
- Blocking — correct pier spacing and load-bearing support
- Marriage-line join and sealing for double and multi-section homes
- Skirting installation to enclose and protect the crawl space
Blocking done right
Blocking is the network of piers and pads that carries the home’s weight into the ground. If piers are spaced too far apart, sit on soft soil, or are shimmed carelessly, the frame flexes and the floors sag over time. We size and place piers to the load, use proper footings, and shim tightly so the home rests solidly before we ever check it for level. Good blocking is the foundation that leveling and anchoring depend on.
Single wide vs. double wide setup
A single wide is set as one unit, so installation is quicker: block it, level it, skirt it, and secure it. A double wide arrives as two halves that must be pulled together and permanently joined along the marriage line. We draw the sections tight, fasten them structurally, and seal the floor, endwall, and roof seams so wind and water stay out. Getting the marriage line right is what makes a double wide feel like a single, solid home rather than two boxes bolted together — it takes experience to do it cleanly.
Our approach
We follow a consistent sequence — set, block, join, level, anchor, skirt — and we do not rush a stage before the one under it is right. Because our crews handle transport, leveling, and anchoring as well, nothing falls through the cracks between contractors. When we hand the home over, everything from the pier spacing to the door swing has been checked.

Setup & Installation FAQs
The marriage line is the seam where the two halves of a double wide meet. During setup we pull the sections tightly together, fasten them along that line, and seal the floor, wall, and roof joints so the home performs as one weather-tight unit.
Yes. Full setup includes disconnecting utilities, removing skirting and anchors, and preparing the home to be hitched and hauled. Re-setting at the new site is then part of the same service, so one crew owns the whole process.
Blocking is the system of piers and pads that carry the home’s weight down to the ground. Correct blocking spacing and load transfer keep floors from sagging and are the foundation everything else — leveling, anchoring, skirting — is built on.
Yes. Skirting encloses the crawl space, improves appearance and energy efficiency, and helps protect plumbing from freezing. We can add skirting as part of a complete setup so the home is finished and ready to live in.
