"Chris is an amazing inspector - thorough, friendly, knowledgeable. He even pointed out recommendations for how to maintain items around the house. He also performed a septic inspection and he has top quality tools to perform that too. He was even able to locate the septic access points without any plans. This is the guy you want to inspect the biggest purchase of your life!"

"Chris was extremely knowledgeable in regards to any question that we asked. He was thorough in his inspection taking his time and often double checking. He communicated throughout the entire inspection all the while maintaining a pleasant and professional demeanor. He even took the time to sit down and address any question we had in addition to all the question we had already asked. He did not just tell us the answer in instances where he could show us he did so. Chris also provided us with a wonderful handbook. On the next day I called him after reading the report and he took the time to go over each item I did not understand. He made an otherwise nervous and stressful experience much easier. I would definitely hire this company again, as well as recommend to others."

"Three pieces of siding on the side of my dormer came loose. I called Priceless Home Improvements, LLC and had the pleasure of talking to Jon. He came by the house the next day, sent his drove up to inspect my roof (let me look over his shoulder while he was operating the drone) and in three days my siding was fixed. It was quick and most of all a pleasant experience."

"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."

"Hugh inspected our old metal flat roof system and acrylic skylights. He provided us with two options: one for repairs and one for complete replacement. Both estimates were for superior materials and were very reasonably priced. He was upfront that we didn't need to replace the entire roof right now, but if we didn't we'd likely have to do more work in a few years. We elected to replace the skylights and do the complete replacement, which included fixing any damaged decking, installing a new base sheet, adding a layer of insulation, and a thick rubber roof system. Since it was March, they were able to schedule the work right away. They arrived early in the morning, removed the old roof and skylights, and put on the new roof system and skylights. They were done by mid-afternoon. The crew was professional, hard-working, and efficient. Most of all, I was impressed with the high quality of their work. They even cleaned up the bits of the paper from under the old roof that inevitably found their way all over from our yard---and our neighbors. I *highly* recommend Keith Roofing! Addendum. A few months later, a contractor had to install two vents for exhaust fans through the beautiful new roof. I wasn't sure how good a job they did, so I sent some photos to Hugh and asked if we could hire him to fix it. He said the other contractor's work would eventually leak, but his guys would come out and install new rubber around the vents---at no charge. Fabulous customer service."

We moved into a 10 year old, newly purchased home in Southern Maryland in the Summer of 2015. Like many new homeowners, we discovered a few pre-existing problems, and we also began thinking about some cosmetic changes we'd like to make.



We interviewed and received proposals from four local contractors, among them John Krause Construction. We were impressed by Mr. Krause's technical proposal, his suggestions about what we should do to get the biggest bang for our buck, his sincerity, his timeliness, and his guarantee of quality workmanship. However, Mr. Krause's original proposal was not the cheapest of the estimates that we had received, and we expressed our reservations in that regard. Mr. Krause asked for an opportunity to reevaluate his estimate, and a week later he presented us with a revised proposal that we felt was very fair ($31,500).



Our association with Krause Construction for this project lasted for several months. The initial visits, proposals and contract signing occurred in late December 2015. Krause then purchased the materials for our job, and it took a couple of months to receive some of the main items because of the lead times for the special-order doors/windows that we desired, but this was fully understood and expected. When the materials were received, Krause was quick to assign a core team to begin work on our project in March 2016, and this core team was dedicated solely to our project for its entire duration. The work proceeded without interruption and was completely finished within a couple of weeks. It could possibly have been completed faster by a less conscientious team, but our project included a custom wall that involved significant on site design and artisanship, and the meticulous quality of the work exceeded not only our expectations, but even our hopes!



All of the Krause Construction employees that we had contact with were very professional. The office administrators were efficient, friendly, and good about notifying us of any impromptu changes to the time that workers would arrive, etc. The core team (led by James) that worked on our project was hard working, skilled, and dedicated to customer satisfaction. They communicated exceptionally well, seeking out and being very receptive to customer ideas, inputs and ad hoc extra tasks. It is evident that John Krause really cares about his customers, and also cares for and takes great pride in the people who work for him. When I commented that the core team who worked on our project was really something special, he took pleasure in replying that he has four more teams that are just as good.



I highly recommend Krause construction and, in fact, I have already signed a second contract with them to renovate my driveway, walkway, front stoop and landscaping.

FAQs for home inspection projects in Cobb Island, MD

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.
