How much does it cost to level a mobile home in Tennessee?
Short answer: national cost guides put a basic relevel at about $450–$600 for a single-wide and $750–$900 for a double-wide. One Tennessee releveling company posts starting prices of $999 for a single-wide and $1,299 for a double-wide. Your quote depends on what's under your home.

Angi gives a 2026 national average of about $700 and says rural areas can run as low as $250–$300 (Angi). Re-Level Tennessee notes that "prices may also vary based on foundation concerns & conditions" and that "travel & mileage fees may apply" (Re-Level Tennessee).
Why Tennessee quotes can be higher than national averages
The national figures describe a straightforward job: jacking the frame at the low spots and adding shims on piers that are in good shape. A Tennessee company's "starting at" price may also include a full inspection, re-shimming at every frame contact point, rebuilding failed piers and repairing anchors, all of which Re-Level Tennessee lists as part of its service (source). When you compare quotes, compare what each one includes.
Cost by the work involved
HomeGuide breaks costs down by difficulty and method (source):
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Simple: piers in good shape, minor settling | $300–$500 |
| Average: noticeable unevenness, blocks in good shape | $500–$900 |
| Difficult: blocks or jacks in poor shape that must be reset | $900–$1,500+ |
| Helical or push piers | $1,000–$3,000+ |
| Cribbing and lifting for severe settling | $1,200–$2,500 |
| Sinking foundation repair | $2,000–$5,000+ |
What raises the price
- Width and pier count. A double-wide has roughly twice as many pier lines as a single-wide, and the crew has to work along both halves and the marriage line.
- Condition of the piers. Cracked blocks, rotted wood shims and sunken footings have to be replaced, not just shimmed.
- Soil and drainage. If water runs under the home, the piers will settle again. Fixing gutters or grading may matter more than the relevel itself (MHAuthority).
- Access. Low crawl space, steep lots, decks or additions tied to the home (HomeGuide).
- Skirting. Removing and reinstalling skirting is often a separate charge (Angi).
- Travel. Many Tennessee crews are small and rural, so mileage fees are common.
- Anchors and straps. Re-tensioning or replacing tie-downs after leveling adds labor and materials.
Other costs to know about in Tennessee
- Setting up a moved or new home is an "installation" under state law. The licensed installer buys a $45 permit decal from the county clerk, and the state inspects the job (UT CTAS, TDCI). That fee is usually built into the installer's price.
- Insurance usually doesn't pay for routine releveling. HomeGuide notes that standard policies cover sudden damage from covered perils, not gradual settling. Check your own policy (HomeGuide).
How to get a fair quote
- Write down your home's width, approximate year, the kind of piers it sits on, and the symptoms you've noticed.
- Call two or three companies from the directory that serve your county.
- Ask each one for the Tennessee installer license number and look it up on the state's Verify a License site.
- Get written quotes that list what's included (pier replacement, shims, anchors, skirting, travel) and the labor warranty.
- Compare scope, not just price, and avoid paying everything up front.
How long it takes
HomeGuide estimates 3–5 hours for a single-wide and 6–8 hours for a large double-wide (source). Expect longer if piers have to be rebuilt.
