Apache Junction Mobile Home Leveling About Apache Junction Mobile Home Leveling
Apache Junction Mobile Home Leveling is a locally operated service for owners of manufactured homes, mobile homes, and park models across the East Valley. We handle leveling, pier and pad repair, tie-downs, belly and skirting work, pre-sale inspections, and full transport and setup. Apache Junction is the center; coverage also takes in Gold Canyon, east Mesa, Queen Valley, San Tan Valley, and Florence.
How a job works
You tell us what you are seeing. A door that sticks, a slope in the hallway, a seam opening on a doublewide, skirting buckling on one side, or nothing at all and you just want to know before you head north in April. Home size, park or address, and when you are around.
We shoot the piers. Skirting access panels off, our crew under the home end to end, every pier read with a water level off a datum pier. Pads, caps, and shims checked by hand, belly and anchor straps inspected, drainage along the pier lines noted. That survey is free.
We write the number at the home. Pier by pier, from the readings, at the published rates. What needs doing now, what can wait, and what it costs either way. No callback loop, no phone guess, no surprise once the jacks are set.
The work usually takes a day. That holds for nearly every relevel, park model through doublewide. The frame comes up on cribbing in small increments, low piers are rebuilt with paired hardwood shims inside the federal allowance, the frame is re-shot to verify, and the straps are re-tensioned. Piers that need full rebuilds should be priced per pier before, not after.
What we will not do
Invent a number over the phone. Call a relevel on this ground permanent; it is a long interval, not a lifetime, and the survey report should tell you what would stretch it. Stack shims past what 24 CFR 3285 allows to save the cost of a pier rebuild, because that is the work we spend half our time correcting under the older parks along Apache Trail. And we will always tell you to ask anyone for an Arizona license before they go under your home.
Licensed, by law
Arizona licenses this trade through the Department of Housing’s Office of Manufactured Housing. State law defines installation to include placing a home on its foundation system or repairing it and providing or repairing its ground anchoring, and it makes engaging in that business without an installer license an unlawful act. Plumbing, electrical, or HVAC connections on a setup belong to the licensed trade for each. Check the license of anyone who works under your home before they arrive; the Department keeps a public search, so you can confirm it yourself rather than take anyone’s word for it.
The calendar here
This is a snowbird town, and the work follows the season. October and November are the sticking-door months, when owners return to homes that sat through the monsoon alone. January through April is inspection season, when park models and mobile homes change hands in the resorts and buyers want the level, support, and tie-down answer in writing. May, before the first outflow storm, is the honest time for an anchor check. We say that plainly rather than pretending every month is an emergency. Level checks are usually same-week in normal weeks, a fall return that has a whole park’s doors sticking at once fills the calendar, and visits to Queen Valley and Florence at the far end of the area tend to be grouped.
Why we publish prices
Because nobody else in this trade does, and because the price of a routine relevel on a normal cycle, a few hundred dollars, is the cheapest structural work you will ever buy compared to what deferral costs: pier rebuilds, a rotted subfloor under a torn belly, racked door frames, and an anchor system that was never there when the outflow hit. The pricing page has every published range, and the FAQ answers the questions people ask before they call.
If your home is anywhere between the Mesa park corridor and the Gila River, request the free level check. The pier-by-pier answer costs nothing.
