Park Demolition Specialists
Most mobile home demolition happens inside parks where space is tight and neighboring units are close. We have developed a front-side-only demolition technique that keeps all work and debris within the footprint of the unit being removed.
This method is how we have completed 20+ mobile home demolitions across Butte County parks without damaging adjacent units, utility connections, or park infrastructure.
How It Works
Trucks park in front of the unit. Traffic cones and signage go up around the work area. All equipment stages from the front side only.
The excavator backs up to the front of the home and starts crushing the structure from front to back. The home collapses into its own footprint, keeping debris contained.
Debris is loaded directly into trucks as the excavator works through the structure. The grapple attachment crushes material into small, loadable pieces.
As debris is loaded and the frame is cleared section by section, the excavator grabs the remaining structure and pulls it forward. The crew keeps working in the same spot without ever expanding the work zone.
Steel frame, axles, and all metal removed last. Pad is scraped clean and left ready for the next manufactured home or whatever the park owner has planned.
Our Process
One crew handles everything from the initial assessment through final site clearing. Here is exactly how we demolish a mobile home in Chico and Butte County.
We inspect the unit, evaluate site access and proximity to neighboring structures, check utility connections, and determine if the home is fire-damaged or has hazardous materials. You receive a written estimate.
Butte County demolition permits are pulled and inspections scheduled. Gas, water, and electrical lines are disconnected. We coordinate with PG&E and local water providers. 811 called for underground locating.
Excavator and trucks stage from the front side of the unit. Traffic cones and signage placed around the work area. In parks, we work entirely from the front to protect neighboring units.
Excavator with smooth bucket crushes the structure from front to back. Grapple attachment breaks debris into small, loadable pieces. The home is demolished into its own footprint.
All material loaded directly into trucks as the demo progresses. Construction debris goes to the appropriate recycling or waste facility. Metal and steel frame hauled to scrap. Every load tracked with receipts.
Steel frame, axles, tongue, and all metal components are removed and recycled. Nothing is left behind. The frame is one of the last things to come out.
Pad is scraped clean and graded level. Skirting, steps, porches, and any attached structures are removed as part of the scope. Site is left ready for a new manufactured home or other use.
Building department performs the final inspection to close out the permit. We handle scheduling and coordination. Project is complete with all paperwork closed out.

Who We Work With
The majority of our mobile home demolition work comes from park owners and managers. Parks replacing old, abandoned, or returned units with new manufactured homes need the existing structure demolished and the pad cleared fast. Park owners always pay and they have repeat work, which is why they are our primary focus.
We have worked with park owners who purchase an entire park and need multiple units removed at once. One customer in Oroville was so satisfied they sent a steady stream of referrals. We also handle individual homeowners on private property who need a mobile home removed for a new build or lot clearing.
Replacing units with new manufactured homes is the most common reason parks call us. Previous owner died, abandoned the unit, or gave it back to the park. We clear the pad so the park can install a new revenue-generating unit.
Investors who purchase entire parks and need to remove multiple units at once. We did 4 mobile homes in Oroville just last month, including units at Shady Rest Mobile Home Park and Orolake Mobile Home Park.
Butte County has a high volume of fire-damaged mobile homes from the Camp Fire and subsequent fire seasons. We have handled fire-burned units in Magalia, Berry Creek, and Oroville, including units with collapsed roofs and compromised structures.
Homeowners on private lots who need a mobile home removed for new construction, lot clearing, or property sales. We handle the full scope from demolition through site preparation.
Our Equipment
Mobile home demolition uses different equipment than concrete or pool work. No breakers or jackhammer attachments. Mobile homes are wood, metal, and manufactured materials that require crushing and loading equipment, not breaking equipment.
The primary demolition tool. Scrapes debris into a pile and controls the direction of the collapse. Larger excavators than what we use for pool work because mobile homes have more volume.
Crushes debris into small, loadable pieces. The grapple grabs sections of the structure and compresses them, reducing the volume for hauling and making truck loading efficient.
Our 10-wheeler trucks handle the debris hauling. For mobile home park work where we operate from the front, trucks stage directly in front of the unit for immediate loading.
