"Bill was very professional and helpful. He showed up early, walked through the inspection and provided tons of useful information for us. As first-time home buyers, we really appreciate the thoroughness. Report available in the same day. Would definitely recommend."

"I highly recommend Actual Property Inspections. The inspector arrived early and got right to work. He was thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and took his time without rushing the inspection. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Whenever I had questions, he responded quickly and provided clear explanations. I always felt informed throughout the process. I was also impressed with how quickly I received the inspection report. I was told it could take a day or two, but the report was delivered later that same night. Overall, the service exceeded my expectations, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I needed a home inspection done on a very old home (1820's) I am in the process of purchasing and Mike experience and expertise in old homes was immediately apparent. He knew exactly what he was looking at the entire time, knew what to look out for, what needed work etc. The entire time of our walkthrough he was very patient with my questions, answering them thoroughly and so that I could easily understand. He took his time going through every part of the home and really made me feel great about the home purchase. I would highly recommend Mike Quinn to anybody and everybody needing a home inspection done, whether on a new or old structure. Thanks Mike!"

"HouseMaster (Steve & Bob LeFrois) are hands down the best home inspectors serving in the Rochester and southern tier areas. They go over every part of the house from the roof to the foundation and explain all their findings to the home buyer and their realtor during the inspection. Steve and Bob are professionals who put buyers at ease during their inspection not only because of their many years of knowledge and experience, but because they have a great calming personality who put anxious buyers at ease during their inspection. Then provide a very detailed thirty plus page report including pictures usually by the next day. Steve always offers a follow up phone call if the buyer wants to go over any part of the report or has any follow up questions. Steve makes scheduling an inspection and payment extremely easy for a buyer. As long as they are in business, I will call them every time I need a home inspection."

"Sunset was quick to respond to my request for a bid and schedule a time to meet. I was very impressed with Roman who arrived on time to deliver the estimate. He was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He inspected my roof and took his time to explain what needed to be done and what I could expect. He was open to negotiating the cost to my satisfaction. He also returned to be here when the insurance adjuster inspected the damage from the February wind storm. The job was scheduled promptly and his team arrived right on time and did their job with minimal disruption to me and the neighbors. They were neat and organized and meticulous in removing the debris and cleaning my driveway and yard. He said it would be a one day job and they finished the job in a day. I am extremely satisfied and would have no hesitation in recommending them."

"The initial call to this company was answered promptly and a representative came to give an estimate. The original proposal said that work would begin the week of July 13. On July 28th, a crew swarmed my home. They placed plastic tarps over my boxwood hedges, which, by the end of the hot day, burned the tops and turned them totally brown. They also broke the top off of my favorite vintage Chicago Peace rose bush, which has bloomed in front of my house for years before I bought it in 1999. They left in their wake my gutters, haphazardly reattached, leaking, filled with water and discarded water bottles, nails and asphalt debris from the old roof. In addition, they removed, without my authorization, a portion of gutter downspout that was routed through the gambrel roof and roofed over on the front while leaving a hole in the back. Since they left, I have had to pick up bags of lunch garbage and water bottles left on both my neighbor's and my property and in the street, as well as chicken wing bones, cheese, cigarette packs and butts, nails, large chunks of old asphalt singles and other debris. Our contract stated that a new gutter would be placed on our garage, but that did not happen until August 8th, after several phone calls. At that time, the gutters on the house were supposedly cleaned, repaired and reattached. I asked the contractor that day to please replace the downspout that was removed and covered over and was told with a wink that "I've been doing this for 30 years" and that my husband had told him it was OK to do what he did. My husband has subsequently told me that he did not give his authorization to do so. I asked the contractor that he at least cover the hole left on the back side of the gambrel roof so that animals and insects could not get in there and he said that he would do it, but he didn't. I can only imply that he said that to appease "the little woman," not knowing that "the little woman" was the one who wrote the check. You can be certain that "the little woman" will not be writing a check to this company in the foreseeable future. As a postscript, I owned a small cottage on Seneca Lake which needed a new roof. I called this company for help and was told that someone would come to give me a quote, but it never happened. Guess it wasn't a big enough job to bother with."

"I hired King Quality only 2 weeks ago and within the 2 weeks they came to my home, gave me a price, installed the siding and left my house spotless. I was very nervous making the initial call but they put my mind at ease. It was a pleasure working with them from my 1st call into the office speaking to the ladies then speaking with Jeff to the crew foreman Billy. They definitely lived up to there name. I received King quality!"

"Altra home inspections did a fantastic job during my home inspection. Being a first-time home buyer, and the tedious stressful process, it is hard to find a company that you can instill trust in to meet all of your concerns while being descriptive, attentive to all of your questions and needs. I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable Altra Home Inspections made me feel during the process. They were extremely thorough, to the point, and explained everything in a simple down to earth way that made it easy to relate to. My report was accompanied by photographic pictures of the findings, it was a clean easy to read digital report. I did have a few questions, and even when I contacted their office, Heather was just about as knowledgeable as the inspectors. I had an overall great experience and figured it was worth it to share with others who may be seeking a home inspection company for themselves."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Farmington, NY

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.
