"They looked at the outside and it looked like it could be a problem. Then they went up into the unfinished attic, saw that it was a plumbing problem, videoed the problem for me so I could resolve, and didn't charge me because it was a "free inspection". Great customer service, thanks!"

"When our furnace past away I called Adams Heating. Mike the Tech came to our home to access the situation. He game us the options and we decided on purchasing a new energy efficent unit.Mike was easy to work with. The salesman Eric ? showed us the models to choose from and gave us price quotes. After a few days the crew came to our house today and are installing the new unit. Not having a furnace in mid January is an eye opener. Thank you Adams Heating for your professional service."

"Dear Home Evolution I would like to take this time to personally thank James Carter Paul for the effort that he put in with the inspection / sale of my proposed new roof installation and with my Sunrun Damage Case 12750510 (dated October 2, 2023). The Sunrun Damage report was started because my roof started to leak after the installation of a new solar panel system on my home. I believe that the solar panels contributed to roof leakage. I am a recent widow and my husband took care of everything concerning the house, my future has been difficult. James Carter Paul took the time to explain what my needs were so that I could understand. Per his advice, I need a new roof; however, to do this the solar panels need to be removed and replaced. According to Sunrun, the â  Removal and Reinstall feesâ  would be $8,670.00. This cost was too expensive and to save on costs I asked for a reduction. James Carter Paul put aside his busy schedule at Home Evolution to help me with my damage case. He has gone over and above with helping me fight Sunrun. It took approximately 8 months to get the cost reduced. Based upon my discussions (and with Jamesâ  guidance) regarding the damage reported, Sunrun has agreed to waive some of the â  Removal and Reinstall feesâ  at a reduced cost of 60% (approx. $4000.00). In addition, I received 5 appraisals ranging from $14,000.00 â  $26,000.00 for a new roof. Home Evolution gave me the highest appraisal at $26K; however, I choose Home Evolution because of James Carter Paul and his great customer support and service! Because of Jamesâ  initiative, patience, and great customer support, I choose Home Evolution for the installation of my new roof. Sunrun will begin the work on May 20th and 21st to remove the solar panels. A new rebuild of my chimney will begin on May 21st. Home Evolution can start work thereafter. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Kim Jarratt"

"Nothing to complain about. Professional, friendly, they came in with quite a few workers and a machine to catch discarded material (old roof). Excellent job. No complaints from the initial price quote to job completion."

"S&G Roofing did a phenomenal job! A++ work. I was impressed from the start with there quick response to my initial inquiry for an estimate, to the inspection and ease of understanding options available regarding product & payment choices. All employees who I spoke with and were involved with my house project conducted themselves in a professional manner and job was completed in a timely manner. They’re attention to detail with both installation of the two roofs as well as keeping area cleaned up and free of debris throughout was meticulous. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a roofing company."

"Paulo and Tom were excellent to work with.  They explained the process and materials they would use in detail.  A sample book was provided so we could see the roof color choices.  Once we narrowed our choices, Paulo supplied us with addresses of homes with our selected shingle colors so we could see more than just the sample.  This was very helpful in making our final shingle decision.  An estimated day of installation was given and stuck to.  The crew arrived early on a 90 degree day and worked hard to finish the job in one day.  We are very pleased with the quality of the materials and the work done. We would definitely recommend Perfection Roofing to anyone needing a new roof.

FAQs for home inspection projects in Albany, NY

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.
