Single-Wide & Double-Wide Moves in Jonesboro, AR
The move price on a manufactured home turns on one thing: how many pieces it comes in. A single-wide is one box on one trip. A double-wide is two boxes joined at the middle, and each box tows on its own. Jonesboro Mobile Home Movers handles both across Jonesboro and Craighead County, and we price each by what it actually takes.
Single-Wide: One Piece, One Trip
A single-wide is the simplest move we do. We disconnect the utilities, strip the skirting and the old anchors, jack it, and fit axles, wheels, and a hitch. A licensed toter truck tows the whole home in one run. On the new site we reset it, level it, and tie it down. Most single-wide owners are moving to family land, a cheaper lot, or out of a park, and a one-trip move keeps the cost down.
Double-Wide: Split, Tow, Re-Mate
A double-wide or multi-section home is built in halves joined at the marriage line, the seam that runs down the center. We separate the halves, tow each one on its own trip, and set both on the new pier foundation. Then we re-mate them: pull the halves tight, set the ridge beam, close the roof cap, and seal the seam so weather stays out. Two trips and a re-mate cost more than a single-wide, and we say so on the estimate rather than hide it.
Width Drives the Permit
The wider the home, the more the road and the paperwork matter. A wide load needs an oversize transport permit from the Arkansas Department of Transportation and escort or pilot cars for the width. We run a route survey first to check bridges, low wires, tight turns, and county-road weight limits across the flat Delta roads around Jonesboro. We pull the permits and arrange the escorts so the trip is legal and safe.
Set-Up on Both Types
Every move ends with a reset. We build the piers, level and shim, and anchor the home to state and HUD standards. On a double-wide the set-up and re-mate take longer because the two halves have to line up true at the marriage line before the seam is closed. We do not leave a home half-set. It gets blocked, tied down, and finished.

What is the difference between moving a single-wide and a double-wide?
A single-wide is one box. It moves in one piece on one trip. A double-wide or multi-section home is built in halves joined at the marriage line. We split it, tow each half on its own trip, and re-mate the halves on the new site. That is two or more trips and extra set-up, so a double-wide costs more to move.
How much does a single-wide move cost near Jonesboro?
A local single-wide move runs about $3,000 to $6,000. A longer haul runs $6,000 to $10,000. The price depends on distance, the width, and the set-up on the new land. We quote the move and the reset together before we start.
How much does a double-wide move cost?
A double-wide or multi-section move runs about $8,000 to $15,000. The extra cost is the second trip, the re-mate at the marriage line, and the added set-up. We give you the trip count and the price in writing up front.
What does re-mating a double-wide involve?
After both halves are set and leveled, we close the seam at the marriage line. That means the ridge beam, the roof cap, and sealing the joint against weather. Done right, the home reads as one house and keeps the wind and rain out at the center line.
Can a wide home travel any road to my land?
No. A wide load needs a route survey and an ARDOT oversize permit. We check the bridges, wires, turns, and county-road weight limits, and we run escort cars for the width. Narrow Delta farm roads shape the route, so we pick the road the home can actually travel.
