Quartz Transport & Install is a turn-key manufactured home installer serving the Carolinas and the surrounding region. Every step of the installation process, from site preparation through final trim and decking, is handled in-house under one team and one schedule.

As a turn-key specialist, QTI handles all steps of the manufactured home installation process in-house, and with one point of contact, including:

• Demolition of damaged or condemned homes when a site requires it
• Site preparation
• Footers
• Transport of single-wide and double-wide homes
• Home set and installation, including placement, leveling, anchoring, and structural securing
• Skirting
• Interior trim
• Exterior trim and siding completion
• Decking, porches, steps, and ramps

A conventional manufactured home project often involves a chain of separate vendors: a transport company, an installer, a foundation crew, a skirting contractor, and one or more finish carpenters for trim, siding, and decking. QTI runs the entire sequence as one accountable service, with one team responsible for the home from the moment work begins on the site to the moment the client receives the finished home.

Why we built turn-key

The turn-key model exists because the alternative left customers coordinating a chain of separate vendors, navigating handoffs between them, and managing a disjointed schedule. Each vendor operated on their own timeline, communicated with the customer separately, and was accountable only for their portion of the work.

That structure often produced predictable problems. Schedules could slip when one vendor missed a delivery or a set date, cascading delays through the rest of the project. Small items could fall between vendors’ scopes and require renegotiation. Communication ran through multiple points, with the client frequently serving as the coordinator of last resort.

QTI was built to remove those variables from the manufactured home installation process. By bringing every step of the work in-house, the schedule, the communication, and the accountability all stay with one team.

What one team, one schedule delivers

A single accountable team responsible for the entire installation changes what a client experiences during and after the project:

• One project team communicates with the client throughout, so information is not lost in handoffs
• One schedule governs the sequence of work, so downstream steps are not delayed by upstream vendors
• One point of contact is available for questions, changes, or concerns from the start of the project through completion
• One team stands behind the finished home, so there are no gaps in accountability if something needs attention after occupancy

For clients installing a single home on private land, this typically means less time coordinating vendors and a more predictable path to occupancy. For retailers and manufacturers, it means a single install partner they can rely on to represent them well on-site. For park owners installing multiple units, it means a consistent partner across new-pad and unit-replacement work. For disaster recovery agencies and nonprofits, it means a professional install partner who can complete work to specification for the families being served.

Projects we handle

Manufactured home installations in our service area fall into a few common project types. QTI is regularly engaged for:

• Individual installations on private land
• Multi-unit installations for new and expanding manufactured home communities
• Direct-to-site deliveries for manufacturers needing a regional turn-key install partner
• On-site execution for retailers who sell the home and hand off the installation to a specialist team

Disaster recovery

QTI is an authorized FEMA and NCORR contractor and partners with disaster recovery agencies and nonprofits on housing replacement work across the Carolinas. Our teams set the first home delivered through the RenewNC program for a family affected by Hurricane Helene, and we continue to perform installations alongside Samaritan’s Purse and other recovery partners.

About QTI

Quartz Transport & Install is a licensed set contractor and an authorized manufactured home dealer with offices in Asheville, NC and Hartsville, SC. With full-time, in-house professionals, we install single and double wide manufactured homes throughout Asheville and the Western North Carolina region, and across most of South Carolina from our Florence office. If needed, as an authorized dealer, we can also help clients procure a home. Our involvement in a project can begin at any point, including before a home has been purchased.

We built our business around the turn-key model because the alternative left customers coordinating a string of separate vendors, navigating handoffs between them, and managing a disjointed schedule. A single team working under one schedule and one point of contact makes the installation process more efficient and less stressful for the client.
