"Awesome professional. Andrew got on the roof, which many inspectors won’t or get by trying to use drones. At completion, I got a thorough report that gives me a roadmap of maintenance things to work on. I’d recommend this service for home buying as well as for periodic check ups for home owners. Would highly recommend and will use this service again in the future."

"I did not realize I was dealing with a service in the beginning and was very suspicious about the idea until I heard a most pleasant, welcoming voice on my initial call. The salesman.delivered his information in a concise, but detailed, manner; the office manager quickly scheduled our appointment knowing of our severe drainage problems and the project manager who inspected the project twice to assure the installers completed a perfect job, which they certainly did. I can't remember a more delightful experience than with this knowledgeable, professional company with their totally dedicated and responsible employees. 10 Stars!"

"Fernando was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We hired Skyfall to inspect our roof which had been replaced due to substandard installation and would have leaked within a year. Fernando spent about 45 minutes up on our roof, checking the installation and taking photos. He gave us a written report with photographs of the problems he found so we can make the other roofing company repair those. Aftger dealing with Fernando we would not hesitate to hire them to roof a house for us. Thanks Fernando and Skyfall Exteriors"

"They came out and did a full inspection of our roof and then provided a full report with pictures. They went over what they found & what they would recommend. You can choose to have the repairs made yourself or they will handle the whole project for you and bid out contractors & then make sure the contractors do the job correctly before they will sign off on the project. This is a great service for someone like myself that doesn't know how to roof a house or what a proper job really is. Great Service. i will definitely be using them again & would recommend them to everyone."

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.
