"Total roof replacement and skylights. Eric put some pricing together about 4 years ago for me upon purchase of my home. He came through over 4 years later! Eric and his crew worked tirelessly and long days to get the job done. It looks amazing; and he came through on every promise he made. Would hire Ericsen Contracting again; worth every penny."

"Was very nervous hiring someone to do my roof. I’ve had bad experiences in the past. The salesman Nick met me at my home. Gave me in full detail a step by step breakdown of how the project was going to unfold. I just got my deck done a month prior. He assured me that everything would be covered, and the clean up would be thorough. On the day of my installation, not only was property protected. The owners of the company Zak, and Rich came out personally to bring insulation board to cover my railings of my new deck. I was very impressed with that, the detail and follow through with everyone involved with the project. My wife and I are planning to get the roof done on our rental property this year, and I know I only need to make one call to get the job done right. I highly recommend A1 Home Improvement for any outdoor project you have."

"Jameson was prompt, polite, and conscientious. He did not rush the job even though it was getting towards the end of the day, and performed the tasks of the inspection thoroughly. Communication from the time I hired him to the day of the inspection was great. The report was available the same night. I would definitely recommend Home Inspection Pros to someone needing this service."

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 Electrical problems such as flickering lights, warm outlets, or outdated wiring present serious safety hazards.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.
