Understanding Mobile Home Costs

Not sure how much it costs to demolish a mobile home? Don’t worry—I’ll break it down step by step and share what can impact the price. By the end of this page, you’ll know the exact factors that determine the cost.

Why am I discussing pricing so openly right smack on my website? Probably because that's the main reason you clicked on my website in the first place! Way to often I see contractors hiding pricing and forcing customers to reach out before giving them an idea of how much their project costs. And some of them will even get you into contract and "Discover" a "hidden" detail that now requires a hefty change order. We believe in upfront pricing and like to cover all of our bases before we build an estimate. Here are a few of the factors that Demo Patrol takes into consideration when quoting a mobile home demolition.

How Large is the Mobile Home You Want Demolished?

First, the biggest factor in determining the cost is the size of the mobile home. Single wide mobile homes will cost anywhere from $4500-$8500, while Double Wide Mobile homes will cost $8500-$15,000 to demolish. The most common sizes are single-wide or double-wide, but some homes have additional features like extensions, or larger snow roofs built around them.


Decks may need to be removed and disposed of separately, which adds to the cost. Extensions like added rooms or enclosed porches can also drive up the price because they increase the total demolition area. Carports, with their structural removal and material disposal requirements, are another feature that can affect the overall expense.


So while the base size of your mobile home is key, any extras attached to the structure can quickly impact the cost as well.

Where is your Mobile Home Demolition Project Located?

Another key factor that impacts demolition costs is the location of the mobile home.


If the mobile home is on a large property with plenty of open space, equipment can easily move in and out, making the process faster and potentially less expensive. In contrast, homes located in tightly packed mobile home parks often have strict rules about demolition hours, increasing labor costs.


Local landfill fees are another consideration. Some areas charge high premiums for construction debris, and in places where materials need to be separated, disposal can take extra time and money. Plus, depending on your municipality, permit fees and regulations might also come into play.

In short, access, local rules, and landfill costs are all location-based factors that can affect your final bill.


How old is the Mobile Home you're Demolishing?

The age of your mobile home is another significant factor affecting demolition costs.


Older mobile homes, especially those built before the 1980s, often contain hazardous materials like asbestos. In California, it’s not just a safety concern but also a legal requirement to test for asbestos before demolition. Failing to test or handle asbestos properly can lead to serious consequences, including heavy fines, lawsuits, and even jail time.



For example, individuals have faced federal prison sentences for illegally demolishing structures with asbestos. That’s why testing and hiring certified professionals to handle hazardous materials isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
