Serving the acreage and horse country of north Marion County, from the US 301 corridor out to Orange Lake. Free written estimates and straight answers from a local crew.
If you own a manufactured home in Citra, there's a good chance it sits on an acreage lot where nobody has looked under it in years. That's normal out here. North Marion County is horse country, homes are spread out, and a single-wide that went up in the 80s or 90s has often been riding on the same block piers ever since. Sandy soil shifts, wood shims compress, and one day the doors start sticking and the floor develops a slope you can feel in your socks.
Ocala Level Pros relevels manufactured homes across Citra, Sparr, Anthony, Fort McCoy, and the Orange Lake area. We check the whole frame with a water level, reset or replace piers that have sunk or cracked, and leave you with a written record of the work. Most jobs are done in a day. Call (352) 247-3105 for a free written estimate, or read up on what leveling typically costs before we come out.
We shoot the frame at every pier, then shim and reblock until the home reads level end to end. Common fix for Citra homes on sandy acreage that have settled unevenly over decades.
Cracked caps, leaning block stacks, and piers that have sunk into soft ground get rebuilt on solid footing. We see a lot of this under older single-wides off US 301 that haven't been touched since setup.
Rural homes that sat untouched for 20 or 30 years often have rusted straps and loose anchors in sandy soil. We inspect, retension, and replace them to current standards. More detail on our tie-down page.
Long-neglected skirting lets moisture and animals under a Citra home, which speeds up the settling we get called for. After leveling, we can repair skirting and replace a torn vapor barrier in the same trip.
Most of Citra sits on deep, sandy soil, the same ground that made this area good for orange groves and horse pasture. Sand drains fast, but it also shifts under point loads. A block pier carrying several thousand pounds will slowly work its way down, and it rarely sinks evenly. One corner drops a half inch, then an inch, and the frame starts to twist.
Neglect makes it worse. On acreage properties, the crawl space is out of sight and out of mind. Torn skirting lets rain splash under the home and lets armadillos dig right next to your piers. Wood shims that got wet and dried out over 30 summers compress and split. None of this is a crisis on its own, but stacked together it's why so many north county homes have soft floors, cracked drywall seams, and doors that only latch in dry weather.
The fix is straightforward: get under the home, measure everything, and bring the low piers back up on proper footings. If you want to see how we approach it across the county, our main Ocala leveling page walks through the full process.
Citra jobs are a little different from park jobs in town. Homes are older on average, setups vary a lot, and access is sometimes down a dirt drive past the barn. That's fine. Our trucks carry everything we need, including blocks, caps, shims, and jacks, so we're not running back to a supply house in Ocala mid-job.
We start by pulling a section of skirting and running a water level across every pier point on the frame. You get the actual numbers, not a vague "it's pretty bad." Then we jack the low points in small lifts, rebuild or re-shim each pier, and recheck the whole frame before we button it back up. A typical single-wide takes a few hours; a double-wide with marriage-line work can take a full day.
Before we leave, you get a written summary of what we found and what we did. That paperwork matters more than people expect, especially if you sell the property or your insurance company asks questions later.
A lot of our Citra calls start with an insurance letter or a sale. Florida carriers are strict about older manufactured homes, and a 4-point or tie-down inspection on a 1985 single-wide that's never been serviced will usually flag something. Sunken piers, missing straps, and open skirting are the usual suspects, and all three are fixable.
If you're up against a closing date or an insurance deadline, call the number and say so. We keep a 24/7 line at (352) 247-3105 for exactly these situations and can usually get eyes on the home fast. We're licensed and insured, and our written estimates spell out the scope so your agent or buyer knows exactly what's being corrected.
We handle the same work in the neighboring communities too. If you've got family with a home in Silver Springs or down in Belleview, one call covers all of it.
Most releveling jobs in the Citra area land in the same range as the rest of Marion County, and the price depends on home size, how many piers need work, and crawl space access. Older acreage homes sometimes need extra blocking or footing work, which we'll spell out in the written estimate before anything starts. Our cost guide breaks down real numbers so you know what to expect.
Almost never. We relevel Citra homes that haven't been touched in 30 years on a regular basis. As long as the frame is sound, sunken or crumbling piers can be rebuilt and the home brought back to level. If we find rot or frame damage that changes the picture, we'll show you and talk through options before doing any work.
Yes. A big share of our north county work is off unpaved drives between US 301 and the Fort McCoy and Orange Lake areas. Our crews carry blocks, shims, and jacks on the truck, so a long driveway or a home set back behind pasture isn't a problem. Just mention the access when you call and we'll plan for it.
That's one of the most common calls we get from Citra. Send us the inspection report, and we'll quote the specific items: releveling, pier repair, strap and anchor replacement, or skirting. If you're on a closing or insurance deadline, use our 24/7 line at (352) 247-3105 and we'll prioritize the visit. You'll get written documentation of the completed work to pass along.
Free written estimates. Emergency calls answered around the clock.
