"Pre buy inspection Sam was very thorough. He discovered mold in the house. Also discovered multiple window leaks broken appliances, lack of insulation broken exterior doors. He could not get underneath the house so he sent his high tech robot underneath the house with camera to check everything. As a result I did not but the lemon of a house saving me thousands of dollars in repairs. Thank you Sam very professional and knowledgeable Job. I would with out a doubt hire him again."
Missing trip near the front door, which allows bugs access into the attic.
Several boards in the truss are cracked and coming apart.  The roof could collapse under any additional weight.
As you can see the main support for the truss to the rafter is cracking from the excessive weight.  The roof could collapse under any additional weight.

"Troy Galloway did an awesome job inspecting our new home. He provided us with a very thorough report and was even available for multiple follow-up questions. On top of that, he was by far the most affordable of the quotes I received. He was such a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process. Highly recommend."

"From my initial phone conversation, to the on-site inspection, to the quote and scheduling I was impressed. When the serviceman (Blake) arrived and the work started I was more than impressed with the professional approach and timeliness in completing the project. This was my second project. I will start future projects with a first quote from Triton!"

"The crew installed the roof while my wife and I were at work.  They completed the entire roof (a home of around 1500 sq ft) in one day, and cleaned up the entire area before departing.  No nails or broken shingles were found.  We are very happy with the overall appearance of the roof, both in terms of color and texture.  Amanda (from Richard's office) was very helpful and patient with our questions.  They let us take all the sample shingles we wanted to match up our brick with the right color too.  That was very helpful. If we need siding or exterior work in the future, we will call Richard's first.

"From initial contact through completion of job they were responsive and professional.   Returned calls, provided timely professional estimate, available for discussion of estimate, provided samples, promised and lived up to installation date, courteous and professional crew, minimal property damage (removing two layers of old roofing obviously requires trailer close to house and plantings), and good clean up.   Discussed job as it was being completed and available to further discussion when job was complete.   All performed within the agreed to estimate. 

Generally, roofers are not known for having a good reputation, but Melvin Mills Roofing blew that stereotype out of the water.   They were professional, accessible, responsive and honest.   I would comfortably recommend them to anyone seeking the name of a good roofing company."

"I was worried about my roof after recent storms. Westside promptly came out and got on my roof, took pics and showed them to me to let me know that I didn’t need a new roof. I really appreciate that they could have just told me that I needed a new roof and charge me a lot of money, but they didn’t! I appreciate a company that has the integrity to not take advantage of someone who doesn’t know anything about roofs!"

FAQs for home inspection projects in De Soto, 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.
