"Don is the best in the business! He was so great, I hired him twice! In the first home he inspected, Don was able to quickly show me all the mold in the house, which was the deal breaker (there were other problems with the home). I trusted Donâ s inspection for the second home, and I am glad I did. We are now closing in August! Don was extremely knowledgeable, personable, always early for each inspection, and provided a behind expected service. He really has the buyers back! I am recommending Bona Fide Home and Mold Inspections to anyone looking to buy a house!"

"Went great. We have a standard ranch style home so the roof is a traditional open gable. Robert was very accommodating and patient with us while we planned the roof replacement. He was responsive to all our questions and efficient in getting the roof replaced as well as replacing the rakes on the side of the home. He provided all the relevant documentation required for the roof warranty and I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking to replace their roof."

"I would hire this company again in a minute! First, Richard responded to my request within a half hour of my placing the request for responses. He came to our home within a couple of days, did a thorough inspection and provided an estimate. The estimate was reasonable and we hired him. He and his crew were there three days later and replaced my entire house roof, porch roof, and small overhang. They worked a very long, hard day but were able to complete all the work in a single day and it was done well and beautifully. Not only that, they were very considerate of the rest of the house - they draped everything and cleaned up as they went. By the end of the day, except for a beautiful new roof, you'd never know they were there. Not a single nail was left on the ground. The entire crew was polite, professional and very hard workers. This was by far the easiest process I've ever gone through to have work done on my home. Absolutely fantastic!"

"David and his crew did an excellent job from start to finish. The work was well done, and performed in a timely manner, but where Dave really shines is in customer service. He interfaced directly with the insurance company, ensuring I received everything that I was owed with zero hassle. I would highly recommend NEBR for any home repairs."

"Patriot Inspections responded quickly to mob inquiry and we set a time to do the inspection. During the inspection they arrived early and walked us through the house pointing out area's of concern or to note. They were very thorough and informative and were able to provide assistance in other areas. They provided an email very shortly after the inspection with the completed report. It helped having 2 inspectors at the house during the service. I would definitely use them again."

"Allen was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. He was able to show me the real state of the house I was buying. His report was clear and detailed, which helped me remember all of the information he had shared about the house at the time of the inspection. This is now invaluable as I make upgrades and improvements to my new home. I highly recommend Allen for a home inspection."

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.
