MOVING SERVICES
Mobile Home Moving Services We Offer
Each service below covers a specific part of the mobile home move. All work is ADOH-licensed, and every transport is covered by an active ADOT oversize load permit before the truck moves.
Local Mobile Home Transport — Show Low, AZ
Local moves within Navajo County are the most common jobs we handle. Whether you are moving from one lot to another inside Show Low, relocating from Pinetop-Lakeside to Snowflake, or repositioning a home on the same parcel, each move requires the same permit and safety process as any other road transport.
We plan every local route before the move date and confirm clearance at each turn, overhead line, and narrow road section along the path. Route planning for local moves is completed using a Garmin dezl 780 LMT-S truck GPS navigator loaded with ADOT oversize route restriction data, which flags low clearance bridges, restricted roads, and utility line crossings along the planned path so the driver never encounters a route obstacle on move day.
All local transport moves within Navajo County require an ADOT oversize/overweight vehicle permit and a Form 504 tax clearance from the Navajo County Assessor’s office before the home may leave its current site on any public road.
Long-Distance Mobile Home Transport — Show Low, AZ
Some homeowners in the Show Low area need to move a manufactured home across county lines, to another part of Arizona, or out of state entirely. Long-distance moves require multi-state permit coordination and certified escorts for portions of the route that cross through restricted road segments.
We manage all transport documentation across state lines and track every long-distance load with a Samsara CM31 asset and trailer tracking device mounted to the home’s chassis, which transmits live GPS location, speed, and geofence alerts to our dispatch team throughout the transport so we can respond immediately to any unexpected route changes or delays.
Long-distance manufactured home transport through Arizona is governed by Arizona A.R.S. Section 28-1103, which requires an oversize/overweight vehicle special permit issued by ADOT before a manufactured home may travel on any Arizona state highway, regardless of distance.
Mobile Home Disconnection and Pre-Move Preparation — Show Low, AZ
A manufactured home cannot be transported safely or legally until all utilities are properly disconnected and all attached structures are removed. Skipping this step causes structural damage during loading, creates liability during transport, and can void the ADOT transport permit.
We coordinate all utility disconnection with licensed plumbers and electricians. Before electrical disconnection, every circuit in the home is traced and labeled using an IDEAL Industries 61-534 SureTrace circuit tracer transmitter and receiver set, which identifies each branch circuit at the panel and confirms the circuit is de-energized before the wire is cut or capped at the meter base.
All utility disconnection and pre-move preparation work follows ADOH manufactured home disconnection certification standards under Arizona A.R.S. Section 41-4028, which requires licensed contractor involvement for any utility disconnection on a permitted manufactured home installation.
New Site Preparation and Home Setup — Show Low, AZ
The new site must be ready before the home arrives. If the pad is not graded and the footings are not in place on move day, the transport crew cannot unload. That delay adds cost to the move and complicates permit timelines.
We prepare the new site first. We grade the pad, place and compact the footing pads, and set the pier blocks at the correct height and spacing for your home’s floor plan. Pier elevation and spacing across the pad are laid out using a Northwest Instrument NRL602 self-leveling rotary laser level mounted on a tripod at the center of the site, which projects a flat elevation reference plane across all pier locations so that every block is set to the same bearing height before the home is lowered onto the piers.
New site preparation follows HUD 24 CFR 3285.202 manufactured home site preparation requirements, including soil classification, minimum footing size, and the maximum allowable differential settlement between adjacent pier points.
Utility and Service Reconnection After Moving — Show Low, AZ
Once the home is set and anchored at the new site, utilities must be reconnected by licensed trades. Water, sewer, electrical, and HVAC refrigerant lines all need to be tied in and tested before the ADOH installation inspection can be scheduled.
We coordinate every reconnection trade and confirm system integrity before the inspection date. After HVAC refrigerant lines are reconnected, the system is pressure-tested using a Yellow Jacket 40870 4-valve refrigerant manifold gauge set rated to 800 psi high side, which detects any loss of pressure across both the high and low sides of the HVAC circuit before refrigerant is added, confirming the line connections are leak-free after the move disturbed the original fitting positions.
All utility reconnections follow HUD 24 CFR 3285.701 manufactured home utility and service connection requirements, which set the installation standards for water supply, drain, electrical, and mechanical service connections at the new site.
Single-Wide Mobile Home Moving Service — Show Low, AZ
A single-wide manufactured home is the most straightforward type to move. It travels as one unit and does not require a marriage wall separation. The typical width is 12 to 16 feet. Most single-wide homes can travel on SR-260 and US-60 in Navajo County with a standard ADOT Class C oversize permit and one pilot car escort.
We handle single-wide moves from site preparation through final ADOH inspection. Home chassis rigging during loading is done using Crosby S-1317C 3.25-ton WLL swivel hoist rings installed at the manufacturer’s designated lift points on the steel chassis rail, which allow the hydraulic lifting system to apply an upward force without lateral stress on the chassis frame during the jacking and loading sequence.
Single-wide transport on Arizona public roads follows ADOT Class C oversize load permit conditions, which cover loads up to 16 feet wide and 120 feet in length and specify pilot car escort requirements based on the home’s actual width and route characteristics.
Double-Wide Separation, Transport, and Re-Marriage — Show Low, AZ
A double-wide manufactured home cannot travel as one piece. The two sections must be separated at the marriage wall, transported individually on two separate trucks with two separate ADOT permits, and then re-joined at the new site in a process called re-marriage.
Re-marriage requires realigning the two sections to the original marriage wall specification so the roof, floor, and wall systems meet correctly. Before the sections are separated at the existing site, all marriage wall caulk beads, gasket tape, and connecting hardware are cut and removed using a Dremel MM50-01 multi-max oscillating tool with a flexible flush-cut blade, which cuts through the full-length marriage wall sealant bead without cutting into the stud framing behind the wall panel on either section.
Double-wide separation and re-marriage must follow HUD 24 CFR 3280.552 multi-section manufactured home marriage wall structural assembly requirements, which define the fastening schedule, gasket specification, and alignment tolerances for re-joined sections at the destination site.
Moving Permit and Oversize Load Coordination — Show Low, AZ
Getting all the permits in order before move day is what keeps a mobile home move from turning into a legal problem. There are at least four permit types involved in a standard move within Arizona, and each one has its own lead time and agency.
We manage the full permit stack for your move. We confirm site benchmark elevations for the ADOH installation permit application using a Sokkia C310 automatic optical level set on a tripod at the site boundary, which reads the existing benchmark elevation from the nearest Navajo County Public Works survey marker and establishes the finished pad elevation for the permit submittal drawings.
All manufactured home moves in Arizona require an ADOH installation permit under A.R.S. Section 41-4028.05 at the new site before installation work begins, in addition to the ADOT transport permit, Navajo County Form 504 tax clearance, and local zoning approval from the jurisdiction covering the destination parcel.
OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS
How We Manage Your Move from Start to Finish
We assign one contact person to your move. You get updates at every phase, and all permit paperwork is handled through our office so you do not have to track multiple agencies on your own.
Week 1 to 2: Site Assessment and Permit
Filing We assess the existing site, the route, and the destination site. We filed for the ADOT oversize load permit and ADOH installation permit. We coordinate the Form 504 tax clearance with the Navajo County Assessor.
Week 2 to 4: Pre-Move Preparation
We schedule utility disconnection with the licensed tradespeople on your home. We remove skirting, anchors, and any attached structures. We prepare the new site — grading, footings, and pier placement.
Move Day: Transport
The home is jacked, hitched, and loaded. The route is driven per the ADOT permit. Pilot car escorts travel ahead and behind the home as required by the permit conditions. We confirm the home arrives level and undamaged at the new site.
Week 4 to 8: Setup, Reconnection, and Inspection
We level, block, and anchor the home at the new site. Utilities are reconnected and tested. The ADOH inspector reviews the installation. When the inspection passes, your home is ready for occupancy.

Why Show Low Homeowners Choose Us for Mobile Home Moving
A manufactured home move has many moving parts. One missed permit, one unprepared site, or one route problem can push the move date back by weeks. We handle the details so that does not happen to you.
We Handle All Permits
ADOT permits, ADOH installation permits, Navajo County Form 504 tax clearance, and local zoning approval. We file them all and track their status throughout the process.
We Assess the Route Before Move Day
We drive your specific route before we put a truck on it. We confirm overhead clearances, bridge widths, and turn radii at every critical point. This step is what prevents a move from stopping halfway to the destination.
We Prepare the New Site First
We do not move the home until the new site is ready to receive it. Footings are set and piers are in place before the truck arrives. This keeps move day on schedule and avoids demurrage charges on the transport equipment.
We Stay Through the Inspection
We coordinate the ADOH installation inspection and address any inspection findings before we close out the job. You do not get a final bill until the inspection passes.

FAQ
Mobile Home Moving Questions — Show Low, AZ
From first contact to move-in ready, a standard local move within Navajo County typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. That timeline includes permit filing, site preparation, transport, setup, and ADOH inspection. Long-distance moves or double-wide separation and re-marriage add time. We give you a project timeline at the free estimate stage.
A local single-wide move within Navajo County typically runs $3,000 to $7,000 depending on distance, route complexity, site preparation needs, and permit fees. Double-wide moves cost more due to the two-truck transport and marriage wall re-work. We provide a written estimate that covers every phase of the move so you see the full cost before committing.
Yes. Every manufactured home move on a public road in Arizona requires an ADOT oversize load transport permit. At the new site, an ADOH installation permit is required before any setup work begins. You also need a Form 504 tax clearance from the Navajo County Assessor before the home can leave its current location. We handle all of this for you.
Pre-HUD homes built before June 15, 1976 face restrictions. Many manufactured home communities and some counties will not allow pre-HUD homes to be placed on new sites. The structural integrity requirements for transport are also stricter on older frames. We assess pre-HUD homes on a case-by-case basis and tell you upfront what restrictions apply to your specific home and destination.
You do not have to do it yourself. We coordinate all preparation. That includes arranging utility disconnection with licensed trades, removing your skirting, decks, and awnings, and preparing the Form 504 tax clearance application with the Navajo County Assessor. You handle your personal belongings. We handle the home.
Yes, but we assess the driveway first. We need to confirm that the driveway width, surface condition, overhead clearance, and turning radius at the pad site can accommodate your home’s dimensions. We do this assessment during the free estimate site visit. If access improvements are needed, we tell you before the move is scheduled.
