Set-up turns a delivered home into a safe, level, anchored house. In Texas, installation is regulated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) Manufactured Housing Division, and installers need a state license.
Set-up often covers
- Piers or blocking and leveling
- Tie-downs and anchoring
- Rejoining sections (multi-section homes)
- Skirting, steps and utility hookups (sometimes separate trades)
Ask any installer for their TDHCA license number and check it on the TDHCA website.
