"Tony's inspection of my older mobile home was very thorough. He took the time to answer my questions. I especially appreciated that he took photos under the mobile home, roof, and other areas that I could not see."

"It was no stress for me and my elderly Mom. Her insurance company was going to cancel her home owners policy cause the roof was 22 years old and I think fire danger. Balke's roofing was doing a job across the street and they came by after work and gave us a quote with a color chart of what we wanted and next thing you know a delivery was made and time was of the essence. I'm happy with the work and happy to say Mom and I our insured for another year thanks to Balke's roofing. Jdm"

They will put your mind at ease before buying, selling, or renovating your home. Highly recommend!"

"The last thing I wanted to hear as a new home owner was that my roof was actively leaking and needed attention right away. Tyler and Troy did a fantastic job of not only telling me what the problems were, but showing me what they found. I consider myself pretty handy, but admittedly know next to nothing about roofing. They took the time to help educate along the way, which I really appreciated! I felt confident and comfortable with the investment after our meeting. They were able to help me find the financing that fit my project, and my budget. They have continued to stay in touch through each step as we we near construction day. I will update my review after the project is completed, but if the project itself reflects the experience I have had thus far there is no doubt I will still report a 5 star review. Thanks so much for your professionalism!"

"Inspector indicated major repairs required due to cracking of the heat exchanger (indicated there were 7 or more hairline cracks) and a crack in the outer plate. Shut off gas to heater leaving us with no heat. Sent follow-up "expert" inspector to verify his analysis. He also indicated heater was unsafe and required extensive repair or replacement. Required us to sign waver if he turned gas back on. Estimated $2100 for repair or installation of a new system ($4-8 K). My basic understanding of the system led me to believe there was no immediate danger as cracks did not lead to fumes entering the house thus we obtained 2nd and 3rd opinions from other heating contractors who conducted an extensive inspection and could not find any cracks in the exchanger. He indicated the unit was not unsafe and that it could last another 10 years. He replaced the cracked plate and brought the gas tubing up to code (something Gallagher's had not identified). The final cost was $360. We have terminated our annual contract with Gallagher's.

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.
