Mobile Home Demolition and Removal in Tulsa, OK

Before a mobile home comes down: permits, utilities and OKIE811

Start with the utilities. Power, gas, water and sewer service to the home have to be shut off and disconnected by the utilities and the property owner before it comes down, and the job cannot be scheduled until that is done.

Next, permits. Many cities want a permit before a structure is demolished. Inside Tulsa city limits, ask the City of Tulsa Permit Center, part of Development Services, at (918) 596-9456. In Jenks, Glenpool, Broken Arrow or another town, ask that city. On county ground outside city limits, such as unincorporated Turley in north Tulsa County, ask Tulsa County. Confirm what your property needs before a date is set. The demolition permit guide has more.

Finally, OKIE811. Oklahoma law requires a locate request before digging, at least three business days ahead, so buried lines are marked before piers or a slab come out. Make sure the person asking for the removal has the right to: the owner of the home, and the landowner if that is someone else.

What moves the price of mobile home removal

Every mobile home job is priced after Justin has seen it. The size of the home and what has been built onto it, such as added rooms, covered porches and decks, set how much material there is to take down and haul.

What it sits on matters too. A home on blocks or piers is a different job from one on a poured slab or footings that also need breaking out. Access to the lot, overhead lines, trees and fences near the home, and how close it sits to other buildings all change how the work is done.

So does what is inside. An empty shell is quicker than a home still full of furniture and belongings, so say which when you call. Then decide what you want left behind: a cleared lot, or one filled and graded ready to build or seed. The mobile home removal guide goes through each step.

Where the debris goes

It is loaded out and hauled off the property as part of the same quote. The goal is a clean lot, not a pile at the back of the property for someone else to deal with later.

If other things on the lot need to go at the same time, such as a shed, an old carport or a cracked slab, mention them up front so they can be priced together. The shed, garage and barn demolition page covers that work.

Why a local operator for mobile home demolition

Justin works Tulsa and the towns around it every week, so the estimate is a visit, not a guess over the phone, and the person who walks the lot with you is the one running the machine on the day.

A cleared mobile home lot is usually the start of something else: a new home site, a building pad, a drive or a lot getting ready to sell. The same operator handles that dirt work too, so the ground does not sit open waiting on another contractor. The Tulsa demolition and concrete tear-out page has the full service.
