✅ Strengths

Strongest review trail in the East Texas peer set

31 Google reviews at a 4.2-star average — well above most single-county peers and bested only by a handful of larger Houston-metro operators. Demonstrates active, recurring service cycles and a consistent ability to manage client expectations.

Active TDHCA Manufactured Housing Installer license

MHDINS00004822 — verified active through 11/06/2027. The binding state credential for installation, leveling, and anchoring work.

Long operational tenure

Approximately 14 years of FMCSA-registered operation plus an operator-reported 25 years of family business overall — genuine continuity in the niche.

Comprehensive scope of services

Move, set, anchor, level, and connect / disconnect of single & double-wide units and office units. Bridges the gap between transport-only carriers and full-service installers.

No internal red flags

No crash record, no lawsuit, no closure, no DOT inactivation. Consistent with established regional mobile-home transporters; avoids the high-OOS red flags common in smaller or less-experienced specialty carriers.

⚠️ Concerns

No interstate operating authority

NOT AUTHORIZED for interstate commerce. Legal scope is limited to intrastate moves within Texas. No MC number on file. Any contract implying interstate capability is factually incorrect.

No proprietary website

The operator does not maintain a self-managed website. Customer acquisition relies primarily on Google reviews and referrals.

No active Facebook business page

Below the regional median on broader digital transparency despite the strong Google footprint.

TxDMV Motor Carrier Number not independently verified

For an intrastate Texas carrier, the TxDMV registration is the primary state operating credential. Customers should confirm directly at apps.txdmv.gov.

📋 Before You Hire — Five Things to Verify

1. Confirm intrastate-only scope is acceptable for your move

If the destination is outside Texas, this carrier cannot lawfully transport under its current registration. Confirm the route in writing.

2. TDHCA Manufactured Housing Installer license

License MHDINS00004822 — verified active through 11/06/2027. Confirm the license number on the agreement and re-verify on the TDHCA Manufactured Housing licensee search before any installation, leveling, or anchoring work.

3. TxDMV Motor Carrier Number

The primary state operating credential for an intrastate Texas carrier. Verify on the TxDMV Truck Stop public search at apps.txdmv.gov.

4. Current Certificate of Insurance

Auto liability and cargo coverage for the full value of the home. Insurance compliance for an intrastate Texas carrier is governed by TxDMV — request the COI directly from the operator.

5. Confirm scope of services on the contract

Move, set, anchor, level, connect, disconnect — confirm in writing exactly which services are included for your job.
