Gibsonton has a history unlike any other community in the Tampa Bay area. Known for decades as a winter home for carnival and sideshow workers, "Gibtown" developed a unique landscape of mobile homes dating back to the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Many of these vintage mobile homes along the US-41 corridor and throughout the 33534 zip code are now reaching the end of their useful life and need professional demolition.
As an unincorporated Hillsborough County community, Gibsonton demolition permits go through the County's Building Services Department. We handle the entire process and are well-versed in the unique challenges Gibsonton properties present, from extremely narrow lot access to vintage construction materials that require careful handling.

Gibsonton-Specific Challenges
Gibsonton presents some of the most challenging mobile home demolition conditions in the Tampa Bay area. Many properties feature homes from the 1950s through 1980s with a very high likelihood of asbestos-containing materials in insulation, floor tiles, siding, and roof materials. We conduct thorough environmental testing before beginning any Gibsonton demolition project.
Tight lot access is a hallmark of older Gibsonton properties. Many mobile homes sit on narrow lots with fencing, mature trees, and neighboring structures just feet away. Our team uses compact equipment and carefully planned approaches to safely remove homes from these constrained spaces without damaging adjacent properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Gibsonton mobile home is from the 1960s. Is asbestos a concern?
Almost certainly yes. Mobile homes manufactured before 1980 commonly contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, siding, and ceiling materials. We always conduct a professional asbestos survey on vintage Gibsonton homes before demolition begins. If positive results are found, we coordinate licensed abatement before proceeding with demolition.
Can you demolish a mobile home on a narrow Gibsonton lot with neighbors close by?
Yes, tight-access demolition is one of our specialties in Gibsonton. We use compact excavators and careful sectional demolition techniques to work within constrained spaces. We take extra precautions to protect neighboring structures, fencing, and utilities. Our team has extensive experience with the narrow lot configurations common throughout Gibsonton.

Gibsonton demolition typically runs $3,500-$6,000 for singlewides and $5,800-$10,000 for doublewides.
