    Hello from central Florida

    I happened upon this site while searching local prices. I've been scrapping for several years now, starting out working on/scrapping used appliances and moving into hauling & clean-outs. I am mostly busy with the clean-outs now for realtors but I also tear down mobile homes, semi trailers, & do some regular lawn maintenance.

    Thanks for the welcome & I dont know about expertise bur wouldn't mind sharing my experiences with mobile homes and cleanouts. As for mh I never ever do one for free which is what park owners/managers usually want. The exception to this is they put a dumpster on site. My normal charge for teardown is around 500 which covers d iui mp gees, gas, help, misc. sawblades etc. The most recent job paid 500 plus the 3yo ac package unit a fridge and glass top stove both in vg cond. & the metal paid around 500. This took six days with one helper.
