Hi All,
Does anyone know what companies do mobile home foundations upgrades in Florida? I'm selling a mobile home that had a foundation inspection and have been told it requires updates in order to meet HUD guidelines
Any recommendations for a company that serves the Tampa Bay area would be great appreciated.
You should be able to use any company that does concrete and masonry work. I suspect that they are telling you that you need a concrete perimeter foundation with either brick or some type of rock-based skirting, correct?
Get lots of bids as the costs will vary greatly. When you call ask if they have installed these foundations on mobile homes before - get references and see for yourself. They should know the width and depth of the concrete to pour and the amount of material to buy for the skirting.
I suspect this will probably run you at least a few grand.

Hi Jeffrey!
Thanks for the note back.
Below is a run down of what is required to meet the HUD standards. It's different (my assumption) than a concrete perimeter foundation.
Installation of Longitudinal stabilizing devices.
Installation of Galvanized Anchors 5'4" on Center with approved Straps and Beam Clamps.
Installation of Stabilizer Plates.
Installation of Mid-line anchors at each end of the home.
From what my agent is explaining, there aren't many companies that can do this type of work. So I was hoping the Bigger Pockets community may know a contractors qualifications needed to get this done. (Another lesson in mobile homes........ )
Any you're right - it's a few grand to get this done from what I understand.
