The Process
A mobile home teardown is not a house demo. The structure is lighter, the frame is steel, and it comes apart in a sequence. A single-wide mobile home is typically down and hauled in one day. A double-wide mobile home usually takes one to two. James N. watched his aging modular home come down in one long day: "All debris the size of a golf ball or larger was removed." That is the standard, not the exception.
We walk the lot, check equipment access, and confirm what sits under the unit. Upfront pricing in a written quote within 24 hours, or start with the instant quote tool.
Sacramento County permit application and waste management plan, or the City of Sacramento planning package. Pre-1980 units get the SMAQMD asbestos notification and 10-day clearance.
SMUD and PG&E want a permit number before scheduling disconnects, so we hand them the application number the same day we file. Paperwork and utilities process at the same time instead of back to back.
Skirting removal first. Then tie-down removal and a sweep for anything the landfill will reject before the machine ever touches the structure.
The excavator works the roof and walls down onto the steel frame, separating scrap metal as it goes. Manufactured home or older house trailer, the sequence is the same.
A unit on a concrete pad means slab removal or full foundation removal, and that concrete removal gets priced in the same written quote.
Same-day debris haul-off on most single-wide jobs. No dumpster rental sitting in the driveway for a week. Our trucks handle mobile home disposal directly.
The crew finishes the site cleanup and final grading so the lot is ready for a new manufactured home, site preparation for a stick-built, or just a clean parcel.
Permits
Do you need a demolition permit to tear down a manufactured home in Sacramento? Yes. Where the property sits decides how painful that is. Spencer puts the county side plainly: "Sacramento County is very simple, usually around $250 for a permit."
A permit application, a waste management plan, and modest permit fees. Jobs often start within weeks. This is the simple path, and most mobile home lots sit in county territory.
Notarized documents, sign-offs from multiple departments, historical review for anything older than 50 years, and demo permits commonly running 1 to 2 months out. Anything built before 1980 also triggers a SMAQMD asbestos notification with a 10-day waiting period after the asbestos report is filed.
Demo Patrol handles the permit coordination end to end. And we start the utility clock early, so the schedule holds. Want a number before anything else? The instant quote tool takes about two minutes.
Transparent Pricing
As of July 2026, here is where real Sacramento-area jobs land. Every quote is upfront pricing, in writing, within 24 hours. Access, asbestos abatement, and what sits under the home move the number inside these ranges. For the full breakdown of what drives the price, see our mobile home demolition cost guide.
Down and hauled in one day on most jobs. A typical single-wide park removal runs about $6,500.
One to two days on site. Includes the demolition cost, haul-off, and site cleanup in one written scope.
Park owners get multi-unit discounts on pad clears. Volume work is priced like volume work.
Double-wide removal run as a compliant public works job. DIR-registered with certified payroll, for a job that had to survive an audit.
Demolition worked entirely from the alleyway on a tight street, with the smooth bucket sized for exactly that kind of squeeze.
Hundreds of completed pad clears for park owners and managers, with before and after photos to prove it.
Park & Tight-Access Work
Park owners and managers call us for a reason: pad clears are volume work, and we price them that way. Tight access does not scare the crew either. Some operators quote a job over the phone, show up with equipment that will not fit the lane, and then renegotiate. We walk the site first.
Mobile home removal runs the full Sacramento metro: Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, West Sacramento, and the older neighborhoods from Land Park to Arden-Arcade.
Where the Debris Goes
Mobile home disposal is a sorting problem. Steel frame, axles, and aluminum siding go out as scrap metal to Sims Metal Management or Universal Recycling. Concrete heads to GR Trucking, the Crete Crush yard, for recycling. The rest is hauled to Kiefer or a Sacramento County certified C and D facility, with receipts for every load.
