What Is Mobile Home Demolition?
Mobile home demolition is the process of tearing down and removing manufactured housing structures from a property. This includes single-wide mobile homes, double-wide manufactured homes, modular buildings, and older trailers.
Unlike traditional house demolition, mobile home demolition involves removing both the living structure and the steel chassis (frame and axles) that the home sits on. Mobile homes are constructed with lighter materials than site-built homes, but they still require proper equipment and expertise to demolish safely.
Mobile home demolition typically includes disconnecting utilities, removing attached structures like porches and carports, tearing down the home itself, cutting up and removing the steel frame, hauling away all debris, and grading the lot.
In Hillsborough County, mobile home demolition requires a permit from the local building department. Older mobile homes built before 1980 may also require asbestos testing before demolition can proceed.
Bayside Construction of Tampa Bay is licensed (CGC #061369) to perform mobile home demolition throughout Hillsborough County.
When Mobile Home Demolition Makes Sense
Deteriorated condition
The home has reached the end of its useful life. Roof leaks, floor rot, structural issues, and outdated systems make repair impractical.
Storm damage
Hurricane or storm damage has made the home unsafe or uninhabitable and repair costs exceed replacement value.
Fire damage
Fire-damaged mobile homes often cannot be economically repaired and must be removed.
Property sale preparation
Removing an old mobile home can make land more marketable. Buyers often prefer a clean lot.
Estate cleanup
Inherited properties with abandoned or neglected mobile homes that need to be cleared.
Code violations
Condemned or uninhabitable units that must be removed to satisfy code enforcement requirements.
Park redevelopment
Mobile home park owners clearing units for property improvements or redevelopment.
New home placement
Removing an old mobile home to make room for a new manufactured home or site-built structure.
