Home movers
Mountain Movers
Mountain Movers LLC is a family-owned mobile home moving and setup company based in Newport, Tennessee. One crew handles the whole job rather than three contractors: disconnecting the home, hauling it, grading the pad, and setting and anchoring it.
Transport covers single-wides, double-wides, and modular sections, moved through mountains, valleys, and creeks on the tight, winding roads the region is known for. Site work covers clearing, code-required grading, footers, drainage, and french drains, so the home passes inspection and power can be installed. Setup covers blocking, leveling, anchoring, and tie-downs to the state's code, ready for the inspector. The company pulls the moving permits and notes that rules differ county by county.
It is licensed, bonded, and insured in Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, and South Carolina, and typically travels as far as 200 miles from Newport. Published coverage includes Knoxville, Chattanooga, Sevierville, Newport, Morristown, and Gatlinburg in Tennessee; Asheville, Hendersonville, Boone, Waynesville, Marion, and Sylva in western North Carolina; Bristol, Abingdon, Wytheville, Marion, and Galax in southwest Virginia; Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Dalton, Dahlonega, and Ellijay in north Georgia; and Middlesboro, Corbin, London, Williamsburg, and Barbourville in southeastern Kentucky.
Prices are not published. The company asks for details of both sites so it can walk the route before quoting a number. Separate numbers are listed for Tennessee and North Carolina, and it says a caller talks to the owners, who are the same people running the job site.
Best for
Owners and community operators in the southern Appalachians who need one crew to move, grade, and set a single-wide, double-wide, or modular home on mountain roads. Not a fit beyond about 200 miles of Newport, Tennessee, or outside the six states listed.
