Manufactured and Mobile Home Contractor Type
Poured footers, footings, and block piers for a manufactured or mobile home
Footers are the concrete the home sits on: poured footings under each block pier, or a perimeter footing for a pier-and-beam setup. A mason or a grading and site-prep contractor may dig and pour them, and many do both. Tell us the job and where the home is going.

What to look for

Block piers: what a sound pier looks like
The home sits on these. A homeowner sees a stack of blocks either way; a setup contractor sees whether it will move.
Related Project Stages
Where this provider type may fit
Footers come after the pad is graded and the driveway is in, and before the home is transported and set. The layout comes from the home's installation manual or an engineered foundation plan. Your county may require a footer inspection before the home is set — ask before scheduling.
