"I was looking for a reliable roofer in a rural community (Ste. Genevieve, MO) especially after watching the fiasco with my neighbor last summer. So I used referral services to locate a reliable roofer. Using a couple (not Angie's) of services I found most recommended roofers had the same pattern...from no ratings to maybe two and on occasion 4 review, but in all cases no more than that even if the "roofer" had been in business a couple of decades. That did not give me the warm and fuzzies. So I came across Melvin Mills Roofing on Angie and they had a ton of ratings (all related to roofing unlike some of the other services) and they had been in business decades. So I contacted them and Melvin who is older now and does mostly estimates came out and talked to us about roofs. We wanted a roof which would last a long time so we ordered the shingle, termed architecture, and upgraded to the best looking one. I wanted information on the company before I signed so I asked for evidence they had workman's comp insurance as well as general liability insurance. They even provided a guarantee on their workmanship. I was so pleased with the work this company did and the headaches we avoided because I chose a reliable company. The price, for what I thought was top of the line shingles was far less that I had expected. When it came time to do the work, Melvin's son, Craig, came out to oversee the start and we discussed roofing details. The guys all worked hard, took a couple of 15 minute breaks for the day. They started shortly after 7am and were totally finished by 3pm. I forgot to count but there were about 8 of them and all were trained by the company and had been together for some time. They do not swear, do not play loud music. The cigarettes they smoked were picked up afterward. They picked up all material that wasn't supposed to be there as a result of the roofing, plus they went around with magnets (a roller type and by hand) to catch any nails they may not have seen with the eye. So all around, because the company was on Angie's list and had a lot of excellent reviews, I am happy to say I will continue to use Angie for all projects going forward. This was a great experience for my wife and myself."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Cape Girardeau, MO

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.
