"Answered online request with a phone call. Set up a time for the following week. Showed up on time, had the inspection report that evening. Very professional, I would recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection."

"We had one solar tube (14 inch) put in the bathroom and two installed in an upstairs office. What an incredible difference they make!! The company representative came to our home to do the estimate and explained all the options, including advantages, limitations and upgrades. His advice for our particular situation was invaluable! Once we'd selected our tubes, he scheduled installation for very soon. The installation was quick and minimally disruptive. We're thrilled with the rsult and would recommend these professionals without any reservation."

"Every aspect of NOVA Exteriors service and work on replacing our weather-beaten, 15-year old wooden 9-window pane garage entry door with a nearly identical beautiful weather-proof 9-window pane ProVia door was simply OUTSTANDING. Having spent 35 years involved with the design/construction/renovation of hundreds of apartment buildings and residential projects, I don't give out such compliments lightly. Unlike some of our other home improvement projects, NOVA's attention to detail, quality of work, professionalism (including its COVID-19 "cleanliness"), and the finished product were spectacular; its price was just slightly less than what I had guess-estimated in advance. From our only meeting to discuss door design selection, their color-matching process, initial measurement-taking, and contract execution to their subsequent door and door frame weather-stripping installation, caulking, sealing, punch-list completion and debris removal (which work took about 3 hours all on the same day), our project unfolded perfectly and on time; their courteous phone and on-site personnel were also always very professional. After our initial meeting, NOVA's 3-step process was meticulous with excellent attention to detail at each stage. When our project was completed, I was VERY happy that I had used them. NOVA’s highly detailed 3-step process for door replacements for us was as follows: (1) at the initially meeting, you start with door design selection, color scheme matching of the door, trim, casing, door hardware, and doorway frame weatherstripping, and the initial "taking" of the door and doorway-related measurements followed by an on-site cost contract proposal; (2) after contract execution, on a follow-up visit, a different NOVA Exteriors person subsequently re-measures every dimension to ensure the initial measurements’ accuracy; and (3) then a month later, the actual ProVia door was installed along with the perfectly color-matching door frame weatherstripping, casing, caulking, sealant, rubber gaskets, etc. Upon completion, unasked, NOVA gave me a small bottle of matching lacquer or paint in case our door needs a touch-up due to wear and tear. The door itself is beautiful!! Before I chose NOVA Exteriors, a non-Angie's List company and one of NOVA's competitors from Angie’s List came out to do estimates and give me their sales pitches - the difference between NOVA's cost-estimating, door selection and color-matching process, and sale pitch versus those 2 other companies was like watching the Patriots' Tom Brady play against a (bad) high school football team. From the minute that NOVA's highly-professional cost estimator (Rob, that’s you!) arrived with his big box of door-related hardware and weather-stripping options and color matching choices and his catalog of ProVia door choices, I felt very comfortable that our home's door replacement project would unfold perfectly - and it did. Because I found NOVA Exteriors on Angie’s List, and had authorized Angie’s List to give NOVA my cell #, NOVA did leave me several polite voicemails trying to schedule their initial project meeting with me. If you use Angie's List to get cost proposals from different companies including NOVA, please do NOT feel pestered by NOVA's multiple phone calls to you trying to reach you to schedule that initial meeting (but I never felt like that - I knew it was my fault for not returning their polite messages and in hindsight really appreciated their persistence). Due to how Angie's List’s business "works," NOVA just wants to make sure that, before you might meet/select someone else, they at least get a “fair shot” to meet with you to evaluate your project and to provide you with their proposed cost contract. I’m extremely happy that I eventually returned their calls and totally pleased with myself for selecting NOVA for our garage entry door replacement project. NOVA's work product, professional service, pricing, timeliness, and attention to detail are simply the best."

"My B rating was due to a miscommunication regarding the day the work would take place. I mailed my down payment in and next thing the supplies were delivered so i had to call to confirm the day of installation. Only other thing is I would suggest they sweep area with a magnet. Although they did a good clean up job I did have to pick up a lot of nails and a bush was damaged but should be okay. I did expect some minor damage to flower beds since i have several against the house."

"Developed a water leak into my house during the huge rainstorm in early June.  Called four companies but all were swamped in the very short term.  Asked them to call when they had a tech free.   Only Springfield Roofing called back, and within a day, to tell me a tech would be out to look at the problem the next Monday.  (They were still swamped from emergency calls.)  A tech came on the appointed day, evaluated the problem, gave me an estimate, and returned the following week to do the repairs.   His inspection was thorough, he showed me many pictures of the damaged roof sections, and he walked me through how he would do the repairs.  He returned last week and did the repairs.  Overall an excellent experience.  Above all, I appreciated that Springfield did not forget me and actually followed through on their commitment to take care of me.

"It was very hard to get hold of this company. I called (no way to leave a message) and emailed...finally someone got back to me. It was said a 2 hr audit, but only half an hour. Did not seem to have checked every place (e.g., basement)."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Dhs, 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.
