"I am so happy with the work that Ben from Golden Standard Services, LLC did for me. We had a squirrel in the loft of our garage for weeks!! I tried loud noise and lights, a trap with peanuts in it...everything! But nothing worked. So, I went under Angi to try to get some help. After comparing 2 estimates, I chose Ben. His price was less than half of the other contractor that called me, he set up the trap the next day, and caught the sneaky squirrel in 24 hours flat!! Best decision ever!! He also did a phenomenal job patching the hole that the squirrel had made (he is also a Home Inspector and knows about quality repair work). He took his time, cleaning up a months worth of feces, and making sure that there was not a nest. Ben is the real deal, and I am already referring all of my friends and family to him. Choose Golden Standard Services if you want the job done quick and right!"

"Roman came over and inspected my roof and showed me where shabby work had been done where vents were on my roof. (I had just bought the house a few months earlier and there were a couple of leaks)The guys got there first thing in the morning and worked all day . They weren't quite done and returned the next morning which was a Saturday and finished in a few hours.When they were done they cleaned everything up. You couldn't tell they had been there.Everyone was friendly and professional. They explained what they were doing and answered all of my questions. It poured a couple of days later and no leaks.My roof looks better after the work they did and I now don't worry about leaks."

"Joe was responsive and helpful with the estimate and final billing. The crew that performed the work did an excellent job, was careful with flowers/bushes around the house, and was great with cleanup. They did an exceptional job looking for nails and using the magnet to make sure our grounds were safe for our kids. Crew was on time and professional. I highly recommend Buffalo's Best Roofing, and would hire them again."

"Michelle was great. Very detail oriented, knowledge, and gave great suggestions during the post-purchase inspection. She allowed us to accompany her during the inspection and answered any and all questions we had, very approachable. She spent almost two hours with us and gave a great, 22 page report with photos afterwards. Good communication pre and post inspection. Highly recommend, I have already sent her info to a friend who is looking for an inspection."

"Upon inspection, the tech would give us information that would decrease the probability of pests. One example is that we should get rid of the peony plants on the side of the house as they attract ants. He also notified us of some damage to our roof that could allow water to seep in (which in turn would attract bugs)

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.
