Terry Bishop and Unified Solutions provide HUD-certified mobile home setting, utilities, skirting & repair across IL, IN, WI, MO, ND. 7 years experience.

I'm Terry Bishop, and I came to mobile home work through plumbing. Most plumbers avoid mobile homes because the systems are different and the work takes more patience. I saw that as an opportunity. Once I started handling plumbing in mobile homes, I learned how everything connects—the chassis, the utilities, the foundation work. I got my HUD certification, studied the codes for each state we work in, and built a business around doing this specialized work correctly. Seven years later, we handle jobs across five states, from simple utility hookups to complete home rehabilitations. The business grew because we do work other contractors turn down.
Mobile home work requires different knowledge than standard construction. We understand how manufactured homes are built, how they settle, and where problems develop over time. Every home we set gets leveled to specifications. Every utility connection gets tested before we leave. Every repair meets HUD and local codes. We handle the entire process in-house, so you work with one crew from site prep through final inspection. When you call at 2 a.m. because a pipe burst or your skirting blew off in a storm, you reach someone who can actually fix it. That availability and specialized knowledge sets us apart from general contractors who dabble in mobile home work.

What he does
Licensed plumber and mobile home specialist with seven years of experience in setting, utility hookups, and rehabilitation work across five states. Terry handles complex installations and oversees every project to make sure it meets code and lasts.
Every service your mobile home needs, handled by licensed professionals who know the work inside and out.

We connect water, sewer, electrical, and gas lines from your home to the utilities on your property. Every hookup meets state and local codes. Your systems get tested before we finish, so you know everything works safely from the start. Proper utility installation prevents leaks, code violations, and expensive callbacks.

Proper skirting protects your undercarriage from weather, pests, and freezing pipes while improving curb appeal. We install vinyl, metal, or brick skirting that fits your home's dimensions and local code requirements. Damaged skirting gets replaced fast so your home stays protected year-round.

A well-built deck gives you outdoor living space and proper entry access. We design and construct decks sized for your home and property, using treated lumber and code-compliant railings. You get a deck that handles weather and daily use without sagging or rotting.

We transport, position, level, and anchor your mobile home with precision equipment and HUD-approved methods. Your home gets set on a stable foundation with proper tie-downs and blocking. The difference between a level home and one that shifts over time comes down to getting the setup right from day one.

Old mobile homes don't have to stay outdated. We rebuild interiors, replace damaged floors and walls, update plumbing and electrical systems, and handle structural repairs that extend your home's life by decades. A quality rehab can turn a worn-out unit into a comfortable, safe living space.

Before your mobile home arrives, the lot needs grading, drainage management, and a stable pad. We clear land, level surfaces, install gravel bases, and prepare utility trenches so your home sits on solid ground. Proper site prep prevents settling, water damage, and foundation problems down the road.

Site Evaluation and Planning
You call or text us with your project details. We schedule a site visit to evaluate your property conditions—soil type, drainage, utility access, and any grading needs. During this evaluation, we measure everything, take photos, and discuss your timeline. You get a written estimate that breaks down each phase of work with clear pricing. No hidden fees or surprise charges. We answer your questions and explain what needs to happen before your mobile home arrives or before we start repair work.
Preparation and Installation
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work and handle any necessary permits. For new installations, we prep the lot by clearing debris, grading for proper drainage, and building the foundation pad or installing piers. We coordinate utility trench digging and make sure everything is ready before your home arrives. For repairs or renovations, we order materials and schedule the work to minimize disruption. Our crew shows up on time, completes the work in phases, and keeps you updated on progress throughout the project.
Final Inspection and Walkthrough
After completing the installation or repair work, we test every system—water pressure, electrical connections, gas lines, and structural stability. We schedule required inspections with local authorities and utility companies. Once everything passes, we walk you through the completed work and explain how to maintain your systems. You get documentation of all inspections and warranty information for the work we performed. If any issues come up after we finish, you have our direct number for quick response.

Mobile home setting costs vary based on home size, site conditions, and utility distance. A standard single-wide setup typically runs between $3,000 and $5,000, while double-wides can range from $5,000 to $8,000. We provide free site evaluations and written estimates so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Yes, most municipalities require permits for mobile home installation. The permit process covers foundation work, utility connections, and final inspections. We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our setting service, so you don't need to deal with county offices or code enforcement directly.
A complete mobile home setup takes 3 to 7 days depending on site preparation needs and weather conditions. The process includes grading the lot, building the foundation or pad, transporting and positioning the home, leveling and anchoring, connecting utilities, and installing skirting. We provide a project timeline during your site evaluation.
Many older mobile homes are worth repairing if the frame and roof structure remain solid. We assess the condition of your home's chassis, floor joists, walls, and roof before recommending repairs or replacement. A quality rehabilitation can extend a mobile home's life by 15 to 20 years at a fraction of replacement cost.
Our utility hookup service covers water line connection, sewer or septic hookup, electrical service connection, and natural gas or propane line installation if needed. We trench utility lines, install proper fittings and shutoffs, test all connections for leaks or faults, and arrange final inspections with local utility companies.
Yes, we install vinyl, metal, and masonry skirting for mobile homes. Skirting protects your undercarriage from weather and animals while improving insulation and appearance. We measure your home's perimeter, install ventilation panels to meet code requirements, and ensure the skirting fits properly without gaps or loose sections.
We hold active contractor licenses in five states and are familiar with each state's mobile housing codes and inspection requirements. Our team handles setting, repair, renovation, and utility work across all regions where we're licensed to operate.
Lot preparation starts with clearing vegetation and debris, then grading the site to ensure proper drainage away from where your home will sit. We build a level gravel or concrete pad, dig utility trenches, and install foundation piers or blocks according to your home's specifications. The lot is inspected and ready before your home arrives, preventing delays or setup problems.
