Louisiana Mobile Home Moving, Done Right — Wherever You’re Located
Lagos Mobile Home Services is Louisiana’s dedicated manufactured home moving company, built specifically around the unique demands of transporting, setting up, and re-leveling single-wide and double-wide homes across the state. Since 2012, our crews have hauled homes down rural gravel roads, across parish lines, and through some of the trickiest terrain Louisiana has to offer — from soft Livingston Parish soil to the tight turns of older Baton Rouge neighborhoods. This page is designed to give homeowners, real estate agents, and property managers a genuinely useful look at how we work, where we work, and what to expect from a professional mobile home relocation from start to finish. If you don’t see your exact answer here, our FAQ page and contact page are always available, and a real person is on the other end of the phone at (678) 410-3261 or (225) 300-5300.
Why Homeowners Across Louisiana Choose Lagos Mobile Home Services
Moving a manufactured home isn’t like hiring a moving truck for furniture. It involves structural transport, state and parish permitting, utility disconnection, road logistics, and precise setup work once the home reaches its new site. Homeowners across Louisiana choose Lagos Mobile Home Services for a few consistent reasons:
12+ years of hands-on experience.
Since 2012, we’ve moved and set up single-wide and double-wide homes throughout Louisiana, which means our crews already know the permit offices, the tricky rural roads, and the seasonal weather patterns that affect scheduling.
Licensed and insured.
Every move is covered from pickup to final setup, protecting your home and your investment throughout transport.
Bilingual service.
Our team communicates fluently in English and Spanish, so nothing gets lost between your questions and our answers.
Free, no-obligation quotes.
We evaluate your move — size of home, distance, site conditions — and provide a clear estimate before any work begins.
Full-service approach.
We don’t just haul your home and leave. We handle single-wide moving, double-wide moving, and re-leveling and setup as one coordinated process, rather than passing you between subcontractors.
Our Statewide Mobile Home Moving Process, From Start to Finish
Every move — whether it’s a short relocation within Ascension Parish or a longer haul across the state — follows the same disciplined process:
Free consultation and site evaluation. We ask about your home’s size (single-wide or double-wide), current location, destination, and any site-specific challenges like narrow driveways, low tree limbs, or soft ground.
Permits and route planning. We pull the required parish and state moving permits, map a route that accounts for road weight limits, bridge clearances, and any necessary oversize load permits, and schedule escort vehicles where the width of the home requires them.
Utility disconnects. Before the home can move, water, sewer, electrical, and gas connections are safely disconnected by our crew or coordinated with the appropriate utility provider.
Preparing the home for transport. This includes removing skirting, disconnecting tie-downs and blocking, securing awnings and steps, and — for double-wides — separating the home into its two transportable sections.
Transport. The home is hauled using specialized towing equipment, with escort vehicles running ahead of or alongside oversize loads as required by Louisiana regulations.
Setup at the new site. Once the home arrives, our crew handles blocking, leveling, pier placement, and anchoring or tie-downs to secure the home to code.
Final walkthrough. We check doors, windows, and flooring for proper alignment and make sure the home is level, secure, and ready to reconnect to utilities.
If you’re getting ready for your own move, our blog post on preparing your mobile home for transport walks through what you can do on your end before our crew arrives.
Parishes We Regularly Serve
Our core service area centers on Livingston Parish, Ascension Parish, and East Baton Rouge Parish, where the majority of our single-wide and double-wide moves take place. That said, Lagos Mobile Home Services is equipped to handle mobile home moving and setup across all 64 Louisiana parishes, and we regularly travel outside our home base for the right project. If your move falls outside our most frequent service area, don’t assume we can’t help — reach out with your location and timeline and we’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.
Cities We Frequently Move Homes To and From
Within our core parishes, a handful of cities account for the bulk of our day-to-day work. Each of these communities has its own permit office, road conditions, and typical lot sizes, which is part of why local experience matters so much in this trade.
One of our busiest service areas in Livingston Parish, with a steady mix of rural properties and established mobile home communities.
Our largest metro market, where tighter lots and older neighborhood roads require careful route planning.
Frequent single-wide and double-wide moves onto larger rural lots throughout the area.
Regular re-leveling and setup work in addition to full transport moves.
A growing area in Ascension Parish with newer subdivisions and manufactured home communities.
Another Ascension Parish community where we handle both moves and post-move setup.
We move homes both into and out of each of these cities, and we coordinate moves between them as well — for example, hauling a double-wide from a rural lot near Walker to a new foundation in Prairieville.
Mobile Home Permits in Louisiana
Permits are one of the most misunderstood parts of a manufactured home move. Depending on your parish and the size of your home, you may need a house-moving permit, an oversize or overweight load permit, and sign-off from the destination parish before setup can begin. Utility companies may also require advance notice for disconnection and reconnection. We manage this entire process on your behalf — pulling the correct permits, scheduling any required escort vehicles for oversize loads, and making sure paperwork is in order before moving day. For a deeper explanation of how Louisiana permitting works, read our guide on mobile home moving permits in Louisiana.
Single-Wide vs. Double-Wide Moving
The two most common types of manufactured home moves in Louisiana are single-wide and double-wide relocations, and they’re handled quite differently. A single-wide move transports the home as one complete unit. It’s generally a faster process, with fewer logistical steps once permits and route planning are settled. A double-wide move is more involved. The home must be separated into two sections at the original site, each section transported independently (sometimes requiring two separate hauls and escort vehicles), and then carefully rejoined, sealed, and re-leveled at the destination. Reassembly requires experienced crews who understand how to realign marriage walls, plumbing, and electrical connections between the two halves. Our blog breakdown of single-wide vs. double-wide moving covers the differences in more detail, and our post on what to expect during a double-wide move walks through the reassembly process step by step.
Mobile Home Setup and Re-Leveling
Setup doesn’t end when the home reaches its new site. Proper setup and re-leveling involves placing piers or blocks on a compacted or engineered foundation, adjusting supports until the home is level in every direction, and securing the home with anchors and tie-downs rated for Louisiana wind loads. Over time, homes can shift due to settling soil, moisture changes, or age — leading to sticking doors, sloping floors, or visible gaps at the marriage wall on double-wides. If you’re noticing any of these signs, our post on signs your mobile home needs re-leveling explains what to watch for and why re-leveling shouldn’t be put off.
Transport Logistics
Getting a manufactured home from point A to point B safely takes more than a truck and a trailer. Our logistics process includes mapping routes around low bridges, narrow rural roads, and weight-restricted crossings; scheduling escort vehicles for any load that exceeds standard width limits; coordinating with parish road departments when oversize loads require special timing (for example, avoiding school bus hours); and sequencing utility disconnects and reconnects so the home isn’t sitting without power or water longer than necessary. Every one of these details is planned before the home ever leaves its original site.
Safety Procedures
Safety governs every stage of a move. Our crews inspect tie-downs, axles, and towing equipment before departure, use properly rated escort vehicles for oversize loads, and monitor weather conditions closely — high winds and heavy rain can make transporting a manufactured home unsafe, and we reschedule rather than take unnecessary risk with your home. At the destination, we follow manufacturer and state guidelines for blocking, anchoring, and tie-down spacing so the finished setup meets code and holds up under Louisiana’s storm season.
Equipment We Use
Moving and setting up a manufactured home requires purpose-built equipment: heavy-duty toters and hitches rated for single-wide and double-wide loads, hydraulic jacks and dollies for maneuvering sections on-site, levels and laser tools for precise setup, steel piers and concrete blocks for foundation support, and rated tie-down straps and ground anchors for final securement. Having the right equipment on-site — rather than improvising — is a big part of why experienced crews can complete moves more safely and efficiently than a general hauling company.
Local Challenges Across Louisiana
Louisiana presents a specific set of challenges that not every mover is equipped to handle. Rural roads throughout Livingston and Ascension Parish are often narrow, with limited shoulder space for maneuvering a wide load. Older bridges and low utility lines can restrict which routes are usable for taller or wider homes. Soil conditions vary widely — from sandy, well-draining lots to low-lying areas that hold water after heavy rain, which affects both transport timing and foundation work. Rural properties frequently require additional coordination with utility companies for disconnects and reconnects, especially where lines run overhead across long driveways. And Louisiana’s weather, particularly hurricane season from June through November, means we build flexibility into scheduling and keep a close eye on forecasts before committing to a moving date. Local experience with all of these factors is what separates a smooth move from a stressful one.
Factors That Affect Mobile Home Moving Costs
Every move is priced individually, but a few factors consistently affect cost: the size of the home (single-wide moves are generally less expensive than double-wide moves, which require separation and reassembly), the distance between the pickup and destination sites, permit requirements in the origin and destination parishes, site accessibility (long or narrow driveways, tight turns, or soft ground can add time), and the condition of the existing foundation or the amount of new setup work required at the destination. For a full breakdown of what goes into a moving estimate, read our guide on how much it costs to move a mobile home in Louisiana, or call us for a free quote based on your specific situation.
What You Should Do Before Move Day
A little preparation on your end goes a long way toward keeping your move on schedule. Clear personal belongings from the home, disconnect or secure any interior fixtures that could shift during transport, confirm that the destination site is graded and accessible, and make sure any permits or HOA approvals for the new location are in place ahead of time. Our detailed homeowner checklist for preparing your mobile home for transport covers everything room by room, so nothing gets overlooked.
Why Experience Matters When Moving a Manufactured Home
A manufactured home is a major financial investment, and the risks of an inexperienced move are real: incorrect tie-down placement can lead to structural damage during transport, improper leveling can cause long-term foundation problems, and missed permits can result in fines or delays. Twelve-plus years of moving homes across Louisiana has taught our crews how to read a site before the truck ever arrives, how to plan around the state’s permit requirements, and how to handle the unexpected — a soft shoulder on a rural road, a last-minute utility coordination issue, a double-wide marriage wall that needs extra attention during reassembly. That experience is what protects your home and your timeline.
Common Questions Customers Ask Before Moving
A few questions come up on almost every call. How much will my move cost? It depends on size, distance, and site conditions — see our cost guide. Can you move a double-wide, or just single-wides? We handle both — see our double-wide moving and single-wide moving. Do you handle the permits? Yes, we manage the entire permitting process for you. Do you offer setup and re-leveling if I’m not moving, just need my home stabilized? Yes — see our re-leveling and setup services. For the full list of answers, visit our frequently asked questions page, or give us a call directly.
What if my driveway or road access is narrow or unpaved? We evaluate site access during your free consultation and plan the right equipment and route accordingly. Tight rural driveways are common throughout Livingston and Ascension Parish, and it’s something our crews handle regularly.
Do I need to be present on move day? It helps for the initial walkthrough and final setup approval, but you don’t need to watch the entire process. We coordinate a schedule that works for you and keep you updated at each stage.
What happens if it rains or storms on my scheduled move date? Safety comes first. If weather conditions make transport unsafe, we reschedule rather than risk damage to your home, and we work with you to find the next available date as quickly as possible.
