"The gentleman seemed more interested in the hail damage and me getting an insurance inspection to verify damage so he could replace the roof. No repairs, no inside look for leaks, no pictures of damage with summary report In other words, they did not provide what was offered"

"Within minutes of requesting quotes on HomeAdvisor, 2G reached out to me, and within hours they had quoted me a very reasonable price and offered to repair it on the spot (I had spare shingles). They were fast, courteous, and knowledgeable and though I hope to have no need for roof repair in the future, I would definitely reach out to 2G if I do. Now looking at my roof, it's like nothing ever happened."

"Great work and professional. Our sales professional Craig walked us through the whole process and worked through our insurance for us as we had storm damage. He also helped get other bids when our Ameran box was not up to code. He was very easy to reach with quick responses day or night. He really helped us save money and was honest and professional. The siding looks awesome and couldn’t be happier with the customer service Craig provided. Above and Beyond. Highly recommend!"

"Chris with St. Louis Insulation went above and beyond, he dispatched Brian out to inspect our insulation as we thought it was getting wet on the same day we called. Ultimately it was determined we did not have an issue. If an issue ever does come up we will be calling Chris with St. Louis Insulation. Thanks, Russ"

"Very good experience. The technician was punctual and very professional. After giving him a description of the issue he did an inspection and found the problem fast. He did not leave until he verified several times everything was working properly. I'm very satisfied with his job and with the promptitude Choice Home Warranty found a technician during this difficult times."

"Things went well. The work was done meticulously. They cleaned up every day and communicated well as to any stoppage. i.e. Weather stopped job for two days and I was called to inform me. All nail holes were painted to match the color scheme. The bottom line: my home looks fantastic."

"Hoover Home Improvement was responsive to my needs and schedule, we only a few days to make required repairs to pass the county’s occupancy inspection.  Rich Hoover constructed two handrails and a wall in the basement to meet county safety standards in just one day.  Needless to say, we passed the reinspection and are now enjoying our home.  I would recommend Hoover Home Improvement to anyone who wants quality work, at a fair price and a schedule that meets your needs.d"

"We love all of the work Dale Kotty has done for us! Our home has curb appeal now! The crew was very professional and respectful to our property and our 2 dogs. We never heard a curse word like you tend to hear from construction workers. Dale was on site daily checking over the house and progress. The day they finished I was sad that we didn't have anymore work to hire Dale for. If your looking for great product and top notch customer service Kotty siding and windows is the only way to go!

FAQs for home inspection projects in Columbia, IL

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.
