Introduction to the Skoolie Builder and Custom Mobile Conversion Directory

The list of 40+ mobile conversion builders goes from small budget (affordable) to luxury (expensive) prices, so do your independent research!

Below is a list of skoolie builders for hire that can:

• take your build from start to finish
• perform partial skoolie builds
• consult with you on your DIY bus conversion

Skoolie Builder Directory

Organization within the Skoolie Builder Directory

The list is organized by US state and Canadian province (ehh!), so you can find a builder near you or even a mobile solution.

Find a mobile builder for hire in the skoolie directory

Within the skoolie directory, you’ll find mobile builders that can help you in with your skoolie conversion at all stages.

• Full custom mobile conversion
• Partial mobile conversion
• As-needed solutions like roof raises, solar and plumbing
• Consultations

The list is composed of builders and individuals specializing in custom mobile conversions and vehicle conversions either as their primary business model or some part of how they earn income. Some of the mobile conversion specialists are budget-friendly while others produce a high-end product (aka. high cost!).

Furthermore, not all of these builders specialize in only skoolie conversions. For example, if you only need upholstery help then a limo or party bus manufacturer is going to offer some sick options that may be in your budget. A food truck builder is going to have extensive experience running plumbing, electrical and gas lines for a mobile application, but they may not be the best solution for a full conversion with living spaces.

This list is not a complete list so if you know anyone that should be on the list, fill out the form below.

Contracts and Terms of Service

I do not have affiliation with any of these builders, nor have I received compensation to create this post. It is your responsibility to make a connection with a service provider and do your due diligence in hiring, contract negotiation, and paying.

For any financial agreement, I recommend creating a simple contract, payment terms, and terms of service with any service provider. This contract will help you if things go sideways and you end up in a legal battle.

If you’re unsure how to hire a contractor to build our your skoolie, read this blog: “Should you Hire a Pro to Convert your Bus?”

Skoolie Builder negative social proof and reviews

This is is a compilation of providers and I have no affiliation with them. However, I have purposefully excluded builders based on strong negative feedback found in forums, Facebook groups like Skoolie Nation, Skoolie Girls and Skoolie Planet and public Google reviews.

We live in a time where it is easy for the customer to share evidence of poor work in the form of photos and texts. I think that is great since it puts the power in the consumer’s hands, within reason.

Though this isn’t intentionally a “watch dog” post, I am compassionate towards the skoolie community and the receivers of poor skoolie builds and vehicle service, a large majority of those receivers being women.

Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to make a connection with a service provider and do your due diligence in hiring, firing, and paying.
