Hi all,
I've been lurking here for awhile and bought the book last year. Anyway, is it possible to raise the height of a mobile home, maybe even put in on permanent concrete peirs?
The old (76) double wide I have lived in for the past 3 years sits so close to the ground it is almost impossible to do any work under it.
is it possible to raise a home

Hi & Welcome. Yes it has been done. There is a person here that put their's on a full basement. It is something that you would want a professional (fully insured) to do. Greg

Hi,
Just some added thoughts to this...yes, your home can be put on a permanent foundation. BUT, keep in mind depending on the height you raise the home you could also have the added expense of altering your electrical, plumbing, gas, cable, phone and AC unit lines etc if there is not enough material there to compensate for the added height. Also entrance stairs and decks would/might need alterations as well.
