Mobile Home Repair in Odessa, FL
Murray Mobile Home Services repairs foundations, levels homes, resets anchors and skirting and handles the compliance paperwork a sale or lender requires, with one technician on the job start to finish. A settling pier or a failing vapor barrier shows up the same way whether your home sits on a half-acre lot or several: a door that won't close, a floor that feels off or a lender asking questions before a sale can close.

The Jobs We Handle Most in Odessa
At Murray Mobile Home Services, we handle the repair and compliance side of manufactured home ownership across Odessa's acreage lots and older communities: foundation work, leveling, anchoring, skirting and the paperwork a sale or lender asks for. Here's what comes up most.
Foundation Repair
Piers and blocks hold your home up instead of a poured slab. When one shifts, you'll feel it as a dip in the floor above. We reset or swap out what's given way.
Mobile Home Leveling
A drifting home shows up first as a door that won't shut right or a floor with a slight lean. We jack it back level and fix whatever let it move.
Engineer Reports
Before financing goes through, most lenders want an engineer's sign-off on the foundation. We arrange that visit and handle whatever it flags.
HUD & FHA Compliance
Federal rules dictate how a manufactured home's foundation and anchoring have to be done. We bring your home up to that standard before it holds up a sale.
Hurricane Protection
Anchor straps lose strength with age and corrosion, often without any obvious sign. We test yours and swap out anything under the rated standard.
Anchor Installation
The stakes and straps holding your home to the ground can snap, rust or go missing outright. Replacing one is typically a same-visit job.
Skirting
Skirting closes off the space under your home from moisture, pests and view. When panels crack or warp, we swap them for something built to last.
Underpinning
Think of underpinning as permanent skirting, built in brick or block instead of panels. It costs more upfront but clears compliance checks lightweight skirting sometimes can't.
Crawlspace Repair
The space under your home rarely gets checked until something's already gone wrong down there. We deal with pests, wet insulation and structural damage found underneath.
Vapor Barriers
Ground sheeting under your home keeps soil moisture from rising into the crawlspace. A torn barrier is a sneaky, common source of musty odors indoors.
Floor Repair
A soft patch in your floor usually points to water damage in the layer underneath. We remove it and rebuild solid rather than patch over the problem.
Subfloor Repair
Older homes were often built with particle board under the flooring. It doesn't hold up once wet, so we swap it out for plywood that will.
Plumbing & Leak Repair
Homes from the 70s and 80s often used polybutylene pipe, notorious for splitting without warning. We check for it and replace whatever's at risk.
Door Replacement
Standard house doors don't fit manufactured home framing without extra work. We source doors sized correctly from the start.
Window Replacement
Same sizing issue as doors: mobile home window openings don't match standard house frames. We measure and fit windows built for your actual opening.
Remodeling
New cabinets and tile won't hold up over a floor or wall that's already failing underneath. We deal with the structural side first, cosmetics second.
Duct Repair
Flexible ductwork under your home tears more easily than most people expect. A torn duct quietly drives up your electric bill long before anyone notices.
What Most Calls Turn Into
A recent call turned into three separate fixes: skirting replaced, a deck rebuilt with proper safety railing and a door swapped for one that latches properly. The home went from visibly damaged to a safe, livable condition. Nothing more elaborate than that. It's a fair example of most of what we do.
Every home fails differently. Some need a foundation pier reset. Some have a vapor barrier that's let moisture into the subfloor for years unnoticed. Others need compliance work cleared before a sale can close. Either way, the same technician handles the entire job start to finish, without a rotating crew or someone new picking up where the last visit left off.
Murray Mobile Home Services has completed hundreds of jobs like it for homeowners and real estate professionals across Pasco County, Hernando County and the wider Tampa Bay area, Odessa included.
Ask Us About It
Foundation Compliance for Odessa's Older Communities
Silver Dollar Resort was built in 1976. Odessa Park isn't far behind it. Homes in communities that age carry support systems that were never designed with a modern lender's paperwork in mind, which is exactly what a sale or refinance runs into.
Your lender will typically order an engineer's report on the foundation before closing. On a home from that era, the report often lists deficiencies that have to be corrected and signed off a second time before the sale can move forward. Many of these properties also run on well water and septic rather than county utilities, so it's worth confirming early whether your lender needs documentation on those systems too, separate from the foundation work we handle.
We handle the correction and coordinate directly with your engineer, so your certification gets done in one pass instead of a back-and-forth against a closing date.
Get the Paperwork MovingOdessa Runs on Wells and Septic Tanks, Not City Lines
A lot of properties out here still supply their own water and handle their own waste. That changes more about your home than most people expect.
This Is Septic-and-Well Country
Silver Dollar Resort runs on well water and a septic system rather than county lines. That's common across Odessa's older acreage lots. A septic drain field near your home changes where ground moisture concentrates, so we factor that in before we diagnose anything.
The Newest Development Isn't Where the Older Homes Are
Starkey Ranch has grown up around Odessa since 2014. It's a stick-built community, not a manufactured home one. The actual manufactured housing stock here, places like Silver Dollar Resort and Odessa Park, is decades older than the newest streets nearby.
Homes Here Sit Farther Apart
With lots running from a half acre to several, your property doesn't share drainage or ground conditions with the home next door the way a tighter park layout would. We assess your specific lot rather than assuming it matches the last job down the road.
More Ground We Cover
We're regularly out past Odessa too. Here's who else we take care of nearby.
Land O' Lakes
East via SR 54, where the town's own manufactured home stock sits lake by lake instead of on acreage.
Lutz
Southeast via Van Dyke Road, split across two counties in its own way.
Tampa
South of Odessa, home to some of the region's oldest manufactured home stock.
New Port Richey
West of Odessa, along the same US-19 corridor we already cover further north.
Trinity
Northwest of Odessa, a newer master-planned area with its own pockets of older housing.
Straight From the Reviews
Travis Google Review *Recommended* Thanks to the team at Murray! I'm very pleased I gave them a call. Mr Murray provided us with an excellent, no-nonsense estimate and finished with professional execution. He even took pictures of the underneath so I knew it was done well. The work was clean and they left the site neat. A+
William S Google Review thse guys are awesome, helped out when my trailer was torn up. they ripped up the old flooring, put new stuff down, and even threw in some drywall repair despite saying they don't typicallt offer it. emmit and chris really work within your budget and try to help you out as much as they can. fantastic company, i will be coming back.
Ave G Google Review Emmit is an upstanding guy. When he came out to level my home, he let me know that several of my supports were leaning over. He replaced all of them including new wooden shims under the same price as the original levelling service. For a trailer owner on a budget, this is the best bang for your buck.
