Sharp Mobile Homes
Sharp Mobile Homes, LLC is a Holden, Missouri company that transports and sets manufactured, mobile, and modular homes. The work covers long and short moves, setup on pads, piers, and slabs, re-leveling of homes that have settled out of level, tie-downs and anchoring, and utility connections made as part of a set.
Jobs are quoted individually. The company publishes example ranges of roughly $9,000 to $12,000 for a single-wide move and $20,000 to $25,000 for a double-wide, alongside a line-item list covering teardown, weatherproofing, transport by section and mileage, escort vehicles, axles and tires, set labor, materials, crew lodging on distant jobs, and a mobilization fee for job sites far from Holden.
The company works primarily within a 200 mile radius of Holden and also travels to locations in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. It describes itself as state licensed and certified, cites more than 25,000 moves and sets, and says it has served the Kansas City area for 30+ years. Current lead time for new jobs is listed as 4-6 months.
Two limits are stated: the company no longer does basement sets or pulls homes over 70 feet long, and it cannot hook up utilities when a home sits on private property. Air-conditioning disconnect and reconnect requires a licensed technician the company does not supply. Estimates are given by phone.

Common questions
- What does a typical home move cost?
- The company stresses that there are no standard jobs and that accurate pricing requires a call, but it publishes rough example ranges of $9,000 to $12,000 for a single-wide move and $20,000 to $25,000 for a double-wide. Separate line items cover teardown, weatherproofing, transport by section and mileage, two escort vehicles per section, axles and tires, set labor, materials, and crew lodging on distant jobs.
- Are there jobs Sharp Mobile Homes will not take?
- Yes. The company states it no longer does basement sets or pulls homes over 70 feet long, and it points to the Missouri Public Service Commission list of certified installers for jobs like those. It also cannot hook up utilities when a home sits on private property.
- Who handles the air-conditioning equipment during a move?
- A licensed technician, not Sharp Mobile Homes. The company states it will not be involved in HVAC work and recommends using a company local to the home's final destination for the disconnect and reconnect.
- How long is the wait for a new job?
- The company lists a current lead time of 4-6 months for new jobs and asks prospective customers to call for an estimate tailored to the specific home and situation.
