BATON ROUGE - A Homeowner who has been staring at his empty house for months is now that much closer to moving in, thanks to 2 On Your Side and a mobile home moving company that stepped in to help.

In March, Joan and Ronnie Stephens hired a crew from Florida to help install their mobile home. They say the people who did the job, did it incorrectly and it didn't pass State Fire Marshal inspection.

"It's not blocked right, it's not strapped right, it's not leveled right," Ronnie Stephens told WBRZ earlier this month.

They've been looking at these issues for seven months, unable to move in and hookup their electricity. Ronnie says he's called just about everyone in the phonebook, he was unsuccessful in finding someone to take on the job and make things right.

"We had other ones come look at it, gave estimates, never showed back up," said Ronnie.

That is until last week, when A-1 Mobile Home Movers, LLC called 2 On Your Side asking about the job.

"The whole house was torn, stressed, cracked," said A-1 Supervisor Steven Hood. "It was horrible."

Ronnie says soon after they learned the company wanted the job, A-1 Mobile Home Movers drove out to look at the house and gave an estimate to make repairs. Tuesday, a crew was there to do the work that should have been done the first time around.

Joan and Ronnie Stephens say they're thankful for 2 On Your Side and A-1.

Then a surprise. As our WBRZ crew was leaving, the Stephens learned Christmas would come early this year and A-1 Mobile Home Movers would be donating their services.

"Since we had a good year, we've been blessed with the work, we're going to donate our time to y'all. All our blocks, material, everything to y'all," said A-1 owner Lester Ballard. "I want you in your house for Christmas."

The mobile home movers left a message with Stephens to "pass it on."

The Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Office has written up the company, Rak Trucking out of Clearwater, Florida for a number of issues and fined the company $500.
