I’ve googled this and I cant seem to find any info on this. I am considering getting an older mobile home (1963 make) and it needs to be re-leveled. I was just wondering what the ballpark price is for this.
Obviously the price will vairy, but I am just looking for a general price range to get an idea.

I would guess in the $400 range. I used to do it, and it took 3 guys about 3 hours. The boss had us spend a lot of time under the house, and hit the frame and metal parts with our hammers as we crawled around, so it sounded like we were doing important stuff. The truth is, there isn’t much to leveling one. You could do it with one 12 ton hydraulic jack, some blocks of wood, a hand sledge, and a long level. Mostly, on a relevel, it’s a matter of making the doors fit again, and adjusting it side-to-side as necessary. The long direction (front to back) doesn’t usually need much done to it. There’s a little bit of art to it, because the floor goes back and forth, it’s never perfectly level, so you’re always picking the “greatest preponderance of level”, and going with that, and yet keep the gap around all the doors looking good and their latches working, and the kitchen cabinet doors lining up, etc. I guess I can say it’s that hard, and that easy. I hope this helps.
EDIT: On re-reading your question, I hope this old mobile doesn’t have really warped floors, that you’re hoping a relevel will fix. I can’t remember now if they used particle board subfloors back then, but some of them did. If this mobile ever had water damage, it could cause practically unrepairable damage, so watch out for that before you buy.
