Mobile & Manufactured Home Demolition in Anaheim, CA
For homes inside an occupied community like the Ponderosa Manufactured Home Community here in Anaheim, mobile home demolition isn't as simple as showing up with equipment. Park management has to sign off on access dates, staging areas, and haul routes before our crew brings in the skid-steer, since neighbors are still living a few feet away on either side of the unit. Mobile home removal in a park setting also comes with a paperwork step a site-built house never has: before the unit comes down, the owner surrenders the title and registration decal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). We schedule that surrender alongside the demolition timeline so the two line up, and we coordinate directly with the park office on logistics for the space once manufactured home removal is complete.
Our most recent job at Ponderosa was a single-wide off Ball Road, about 924 square feet, where we worked around the park's Tuesday move schedule and had the unit down and hauled within a day and a half. That one ran $4,200, roughly mid-range for a single-wide with average access, and it was the sixth Ponderosa removal we've handled this year.
RV & Trailer Removal
Not every unit on a property is a manufactured home on a permanent foundation. We also handle RV removal and trailer removal for abandoned or non-running units sitting on a lot, whether it's a travel trailer parked since a tenant moved out or a motorhome that hasn't turned over in years. That job looks different from a manufactured home teardown: there's no tie-down system or skirting to cut loose and no foundation to break up, just a unit that needs to be loaded, hauled, and processed for disposal. Tires and axles get pulled and disposed of separately from the shell, since they run through different recycling streams than the metal and interior materials.
Last month we pulled a 32-foot travel trailer that had been sitting off Lincoln Avenue for nearly three years, no current registration, flat tires, frame rusting into the dirt. That pickup and haul-off ran $650, our fourth non-running RV job in Anaheim this quarter.
Mobile Home Demolition Cost Factors
1: Size: A single-wide typically runs $3,000 to $5,000 for full demolition and haul-off. A double-wide, being roughly twice the material and disposal volume, usually lands between $5,500 and $9,000.
2: What's inside the walls: Units built before the mid-1980s get an added hazmat check, since older siding panels and blown-in insulation sometimes contain asbestos, tested the same way as an older site-built house before we touch it. This can add a few hundred dollars and a short delay for lab results.
3: Equipment access: A unit set deep in a park on a narrow lane, wedged between two occupied homes, sometimes can't be reached by a skid-steer and needs a smaller machine or hand demolition for part of the work, adding labor cost compared to a unit on a street-facing lot with a clear pull-in.
Our Mobile Home Demolition & Removal Process
Step 1: Free Site Visit & Scope
We do a free on-site visit and put together a written scope so you know exactly what's being removed and roughly what it'll cost.
Step 2: Permits & Clearances
We pull demolition permits through the City of Anaheim Building Division, handle utility locates, and complete a SCAQMD Rule 1403 asbestos survey when the unit's age calls for it.
Step 3: Site Protection
We fence off the work area, control dust, and protect any adjacent structures or surfaces that aren't part of the job.
Step 4: Demolition
The same local crew and project manager who ran your first site visit carry out the demolition itself.
Step 5: Cleanup & Walkthrough
Material gets sorted for recycling and hauled off, and we walk the finished site with the client before we call the job done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to surrender the title before a mobile home is removed?
Yes. Before we remove a mobile home, the title and registration decal have to be surrendered to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), since HCD treats these units more like a registered vehicle than a piece of real property. This is a separate step from anything required for a site-built house demolition, and we walk owners through the paperwork so it's done before the removal date instead of holding things up afterward.
Do you coordinate with the mobile home park before demolition?
We do, and it's one of the more overlooked parts of the job. At communities like the Ponderosa Manufactured Home Community here in Anaheim, we confirm access dates, approved haul routes, and staging areas with park management before we schedule the crew, since equipment moving through an occupied park affects the neighbors on either side of the unit. That coordination is built into our process, not an extra step tacked on afterward.
Are older mobile homes checked for asbestos before demolition?
Older units, generally anything built before the mid-1980s, get checked for asbestos in siding panels and insulation before we start tearing into anything. That check follows the same SCAQMD Rule 1403 process we'd use on an older site-built house, meaning a survey has to be completed and, if asbestos is present, properly abated before demolition can proceed.
Do you remove RVs and trailers that no longer run?
Yes, non-running RVs and trailers are a regular part of our workload, whether the unit has been sitting for a season or for years. We handle loading and hauling the shell along with tire and axle disposal, which run through a different recycling stream than the frame and interior materials.
How is a manufactured home different to remove than a site-built house?
A manufactured home sits on tie-downs and a pier or perimeter foundation instead of a poured slab, and it usually has skirting around the base that has to come off before the unit itself can be disconnected and demolished. If it's in a park, we're also working within tighter lot lines and coordinating access with management, which isn't a factor with a standalone house on its own lot.
How long does mobile home removal take?
A single-wide with clear access usually comes down and gets hauled off in a day to a day and a half. A double-wide typically takes two to three days given the added material and disposal volume. Add half a day to a full day on top of either if the unit is deep inside a park with restricted access or narrow lanes our equipment has to navigate carefully.
