"Scott was completely professional and very thorough with the inspection. He was very accommodating to the schedule which kept changing and being postponed due to issues with the seller getting the premises ready for an inspection (absence of heat and water). He even went back much later to complete the inspection once the water had been turned back on at the house. Explained what he was doing and what needed to be looked out for. I would not hesitate to recommend him."

"Dustin was polite and informative. He insisted I needed a complete tear off having heard from me that another contractor had determined there were a few plywood sheets needed! I do not know if he found the same on inspection oOR if she just went on the word of the other guy! I have had 4 estimates which is only prudent! I informed him that I did not request a total tear off. He said it required one and I replied, being on my way to an appointment, that we would not be doing business, He emailed me, calling me rude, mocking my obtaining several estimates, said I was misinformed which causes me to distrust him, said I was rude…I was not! I I had said we not be doing business but thank you very much and hung up. Dustin told me he would not want to be doing business for someone like me anyway! His estimate was for over $18,000 and he came in high in comparison with other contractors. I am offended by his obnoxious criticism of me, the customer, who did not agree with his analysis of my project! I was not being rude to him, just shirt and to the point because I was on my way out the door! Dustin needs to learn how to do business. His immaturity is showing. I have responded to his obnoxity straightforwardly, am taken aback by it and certainly can’t recommend him."

"I had a great experience with Josh and the crew. They were first on an estimate and coming to my home. They worked incredibly fast, yet paid attention to details and were thorough in the cleanup afterwards. Despite several projects, they were here by 8:15am and packing up by 2:15pm same day. I will most certainly hire them back and in fact I've already inquired with Josh about another job I have. First rate and very reasonable rates!"

"His response was excellent and he answered the phone each time I called. We needed someone to inspect a third story roof in the city of Rochester and we had a very short timeline to be able to complete the job. Not only was his response time excellent, he performed the job within the alloted time and submitted a thorough written report."

"Mr. Kincaid was great from start to finish. He responded to my inquiry within 10 minutes. He was very straightforward about his services and prices. He was very flexible with scheduling a time to do the inspection. I had never had a home inspection done before so I didnâ t know what to expect. He was more than happy to answer all of my questions (regardless of how silly that may have been). He was very thorough and I had my report promptly as promised. The next day he even called to make sure that I understood everything and to ask if I had any questions. I will absolutely use kincaid services in the future and recommend him to friends and family."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Binghamton, 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.
