How We Started
Mobile Home Gone started in 2019 in central Texas. Our founder, James, was working demolition contracts when he noticed a pattern: landowners were paying $10,000–$25,000 to tear down mobile homes that contained thousands of dollars in salvageable material — copper wiring, steel framing, intact appliances, aluminum siding. The math didn't add up for the property owner.
So we built the model differently. We recover the salvage value ourselves, offset it against removal costs, and pass the savings to the property owner as a free removal. It's the same economics that make scrap metal yards and vehicle donation programs work — applied to manufactured housing.
By 2021 we had expanded to 10 states. Today we coordinate removals in 28+ states with a vetted network of licensed local contractors. Every project is assessed individually because not every home qualifies — but for those that do, qualifying property owners pay nothing.
