"Tom was prompt in replying to our request for an estimate and his quote was reasonable compared to three other quotes from reputable painting companies in the area. David and his crew were outstanding. They were professional, hardworking, and talented painters. When the job was finished, David walked around the house with me to allow me to inspect the work. It was perfect. I would certainly recommend JD Hostetter and Associates for painting the exterior of your home."

"Joe at Redhawk Home Inspections is absolutely the best! He devoted a great deal of time and effort to the inspection of the Fowler House. This historic home from 1852 required an extra level of care and attention. Joe went through every detail on the home inspection report, from top to bottom. He walked my wife and me through every aspect of the report. We especially appreciated Joe's attention to detail and his guidance throughout the inspection process. The Fowler House had several aspects that are not normally found in a residential home, for instance, a slate roof that is over 100 years old, and a commercial kitchen, and multiple heating and cooling systems, etc. Joe took the time to carefully inspect everything, and he provided the most detailed and comprehensive report that a family could hope for! Joe is also a perfect gentleman. He kindly introduced us to a few local businesses that helped with other aspects of the purchase. Our family strongly recommends Joe!"

"My step-daughter recently purchased a house and encountered some unexpected issues. Since the David Hazen Group had previously satisfactorily replaced the roof on my own house, I called them. Duane came out and inspected all of the suspected problem areas and offered both short term and long term solutions. After discussing the pros and cons of each, we agreed on the above work. They replaced the roof with 30 year shingle warranty and installed new gutters. They completed the work in a timely manner and it looks very good."

"RHC is straight, direct, and honest. I am having home inspections done from a good distance away so having a reliable and honest company is essential. The company exceeded expectation and also had referrals for service they do not themselves cover, such as windows. Will work with them in the future, I advise others to do so too."

"Amazing. Clayton is one of the most professional contractors I have ever worked with. Very professional. He met with me to inspect our roof as we were trying to sell. He did notice hail damage and was able to meet my insurance claims adjuster same day and determine there was hail damage. I would recommend Eads Roofing to anyone and everyone!"

"It took some time to get the insurance company to inspect the property. Roof-it-Forward was able to engage effectively with my insurance company to get the job done. C.J. Clumb did a wonderful job."

"It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. They had to come back out and I never got a report so I don't know if there was anything wrong with any portion of my gutter. I did not spend anymore. I wasn't at home when they came. There really wasn't any interaction. They were at my house when I pulled up. We didn't set up an appointment. They had to come back because one of my gutters wasn't draining but it is draining now."

"Wholesome business, went ABOVE AND BEYOND for our roofing needs. Indy Rooftops has spent several hours on the phone with my insurance to make sure they pay every dollar owed against the claim. We all know insurance companies can be slime balls in keeping their end of the bargain, but Indy Roof tops has a great legal footing to ensure insurance are held liable for their expenses. They are super easy to work with, communicates easily and clearly via text which is a millennial’s dream for project management. When I do call, they instantly answer the phone no matter the hour- out of this world customer service! 100% recommend, so glad they knocked on our door after a hail storm, would never have known about the work needing done and now we will have a safe home for another 20+ years."
Most mobile home inspections require two to three hours to complete properly. The timeline varies based on your home's size, age, and overall condition. Inspectors need sufficient time to examine all major systems, document their findings, and compile their observations.
If the inspector discovers concerning issues that warrant deeper investigation, the process may take longer. For the most thorough assessment, try to schedule your inspection during daylight hours when visibility is optimal.
Pay close attention to water damage indicators like ceiling stains, warped flooring, or musty odors. Structural concerns, including uneven floors, sagging rooflines, or doors that won't close properly, suggest potential foundation issues. Electrical problems such as flickering lights, warm outlets, or outdated wiring present serious safety hazards.
Impromptu modifications or repairs performed without proper permits often signal deeper problems. Windows that don't seal properly may indicate structural shifting or water infiltration.
Yes, professional inspectors evaluate the foundation components and anchoring mechanisms during a thorough assessment. They examine support piers, blocks, and tie-downs for proper installation and condition. The inspection includes checking for appropriate ground clearance and adequate ventilation beneath the home.
Proper anchoring is essential for stability during adverse weather conditions. Foundation issues can affect everything from door alignment to plumbing function, making this a critical part of any comprehensive inspection.
Industry professionals recommend scheduling maintenance inspections every two to three years for manufactured homes. Homes in regions with extreme weather conditions may benefit from more frequent evaluations. Consider arranging an inspection after significant storms or if you notice any unusual changes in your home's condition.
Regular assessments help identify minor issues before they develop into major problems. Maintaining documentation of these inspections also provides valuable records for insurance purposes or future sale considerations.
Search for inspectors with certifications from recognized professional organizations in your state. Specialized training or experience with manufactured housing is particularly valuable for these unique structures. Ask potential inspectors about their familiarity with HUD standards for manufactured homes. Professional membership in industry associations often indicates commitment to ongoing education and ethical standards. Request sample reports from prospective inspectors to evaluate their thoroughness and clarity of communication.
Many insurance providers consider inspection results when determining policy rates and coverage terms. A positive report demonstrating well-maintained systems and the absence of hazards may qualify you for better rates. Addressing issues identified during inspection demonstrates proactive maintenance that insurers often reward. Some companies offer specific discounts for homes that meet certain safety and structural standards.
Contact your insurance provider before scheduling an inspection to understand exactly what documentation they require for potential premium reductions.
