"Mr. Stouter did a thorough home inspection. He took the time to explain some concerns and answer any questions that I had. He produced a well documented report within the time frame promised. He was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for a home inspection."

"Our experience with Home Energy Savings Solutions was great. At first, we didn’t want to dish out the $100 to do the energy inspection. After doing the inspection however, we recommend every home owner get one done, because it pays for itself. As part of the assessment, Mohammed replaced all the light bulbs with LEDs and all our shower heads with high efficiency ones. Those changes alone will cost you $100. Mohammed also walked me through the house as he did the assessment with an IR camera to show me the inefficiencies and heat loss areas. For the work, we priced three companies. I sent the energy assessment to each of them and Home Energy Savings Solutions offered to do more repairs and for cheaper. They did the work in one day and reduced our air exchange rate by almost 20%! During the repairs, the workers found a leak in our roof while adding insulation in the attic and gave us recommendations for repair. Mohammed also made other suggestions to further improve energy efficiency throughout the house, little home repair stuff that I could do on the weekends. Overall it was a great experience and I would hire them again."

"Brock went above and beyond in determining the root cause of the living room leaks. He spent several days trying to contact my home insurance provider to try to convince them to pay for the whole roof (instead of paying for repairing only half of it). There aren't many companies out there whose people are willing to spend this much time to make a customer feel so important. I can't thank Brock enough."

"The process up to the QA Inspection was excellent. People were friendly and knowledgeable. Austin was excellent at giving honest answers to all our questions. When I asked him one he couldn’t answer he didn’t try to BS his way through, he simply said he didn’t know and then proceeded to make calls until he got an answer. At the Pre-install inspection we were told the install crew would arrive between 8-10. The install crew chief was very surprised to hear that when he arrived at 7. The installation was also excellent. Done and dusted by 4PM. The QA inspection cost you an excellent rating. It was little more than a high pressure sales pitch to replace my aluminum siding with vinyl. I just spent $20K on a new roof and he pressured us to spend another $40K on something that doesn’t need to be replaced. Not cool. I would definitely recommend Power, but with a caveat on the QA inspection."

"I’m going to begin this review by saying, I have never hired someone to do a job on my house where I have been completely satisfied with the labor and the finished product. Until now. I just hired a company to remove my existing shingle roof and replace it. Not only is the finished product of excellent quality, but the technicians were extremely diligent in making sure everything was done with precision. The entire job even down to the clean up afterwards is outstanding…. I highly recommend Coxs Roofing and I will be using them whenever I need roofing work done. Oh! And they also had the best price quote out of three estimates I received. 1121 Roland Heights Ave. 21211"

"Excellent. I had a large single family home that I needed to put on the market, and it needed some serious sprucing up before I could list it for sale. The owner himself came out to walk through the property and provide quotes on the work I had in mind. One of the great advantages was that he worked up the quote in near real time, so before he left, I knew my options and could decide on the work to have done. The quality of the work was great, as was his ability to adjust on the fly for some additional taskings (on an additional contract) to take care of other things I noticed that I needed to have done. In addition to the bulk of the work to get the house on the market, He was able to help me address some of the buyer contingencies that came up during the home inspection. Overall, I couldn't have asked for more - friendly, straightforward service, timely, and quality workmanship."

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.
