Looking for contractor

[stoneam2006]

That's great. I was envisioning a little bigger project..

Move home,poor pad, reset home..

Seems like most manufactured home pad quotes were in the neighborhood of 10g with full foundations around 25.. 

O yea different story here. Most blocks still usable too hardest part is the manual labor to dig the 8 to 12 4 foot deep holes for the concrete...honestly thought about doing myself but with time and hatred of digging figured I'd let professional do it.

Orginal plan was to put basement in. All inclusive floor exterior walls drainage sump pump 2 windows and double doors dug out flush on back and level in the front wires plumbing all moved with 200 amp service installed is 32k....but now moving south

I worked for a company called Portable Schools out of Webster in the early 1980's. These were relocatable 'temporary' classroom buildings, essentially double-wides, and we worked all over the state doing the installations. We had some pretty high-tech equipment when it came to jacks and stuff, and we were able to get the jobs done quickly and efficiently. I don't personally know of any companies currently doing this type of work, but I'm pretty sure they're out there. My point is, don't narrowly confine your search to just local contractors. There might be someone 200 or 300 miles away that has the specialized equipment and expertise to ensure quality work at a fair price regardless of the travel involved.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks you for the advice. I think I have found a guy he came out once to look and is comming back again with further details. Guarantees all his work along with no damage in the home and roof. Had a few good references with same type of work with pics....not the cheapest by far but I guess you get what you pay for.

4k sounds reasonable for that work.  You could probably rent a backhoe and do it cheaper yourself, but that would involve some risk (buried electric, gas, water, and drain lines), and I am certain you can find better uses for your time at this time of year.  I would look for a contractor who is not a deer-hunter, or his mind won't be fully on the job.   It makes sense to get it done now, so you have time to get it ready for a spring sale.  I think your spring sale would be at least 5k less if you don't take care of the problem.

Yea probably have to be fixed before sale anyway bc of bank requirements...no these holes have to be manually dug underneath my house. 4 foot deep no equipment

I don't care for manual digging much either.   We had our septic tank pumped last week and the top of the 4 foot diameter, 500 gallon tank is 4 feet below grade.   I took out the first 3 feet in about an hour with my loader tractor, but that last foot took twice that long by hand and gave me blisters.   I can only imagine what my hands would look like after digging twelve, 4 foot deep holes.   I understand the manual requirement under the house.  The last time I used a backhoe near a house, I managed to cut an electric line, and a water line that were not close to where the homeowner thought they were.
