"Matt from Bull’s Eye Home Improvement was very attentive, responsive, and cordial throughout the quote and inspection processes. I would recommend him. In addition, his home inspection report was very well done, easy to interpret, and quickly delivered."

"Josh Johnson with Vertical Inspections conducted a professional inspection of the home I am buying. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and allowed me be with him during the inspection. He was patient and comprehensive in explaining any questions that I had as he was performing the inspection. Josh also assured me that he would be available for any follow-up questions that I may have. He did the inspection on a Monday evening and documentation arrived on Tuesday. It was a very methodical report with over 50 pages with pictures referencing his documentation. Even my realtor commented that it was one of the longest inspection reports he had seen. I will highly recommend Josh to friends and family."

"The first thing that got my attention after Devan knocked on door asking if we wanted an estimate was that he didnâ t just give us a number. Devan walked us thru all the material literally showing me each item that would be used and explaining to me how it would help and the purpose it served. Then he amazed me more when he asked if he could go into our crawl space. He did a very thorough inspection even showing me pictures of some of the problem areas. This was one of the biggest selling points on why I chose this company. From start to finish it was a absolutely amazing experience and Devan walked us thru each step of the way. You can judge a company by the people that it hires, based on that information and our interaction with not only Devan who sold us the roof but was the project manager to help make sure everything went smoothly. Dillion also emailed to make sure we were comfortable with everything, and Lauren was very responsive in helping schedule. From start to finish our project took less than a week. Absolutely amazing. As this company advertises it was a â Different Experience â"

"Marcus was great in the inspection of my roof, explaining where the issues were, sending me copies of the photos so I can forward for possible insurance, and explaining in full every component needed for the roof to be done properly. Joe communicated timely with me on when the crew would arrive. They got here right on time. They were very thorough and professional, and the cleaned up extremely well. The roof looks great one less thing I'll need to worry about for a long time. Price was very reasonable and right in line with what I had calculated on my own. I would highly recommend this company."

"Dan did a great job showing me all of the ways my home was losing heat in the winter and then fixed the issues. Really nice guy, informative, hard working. Not only did he install lots of insulation he also sealed cracks, vented bathroom fans, sealed up an old kitchen fan, etc. He showed up as promised and completed the work in a very timely manner."

Customers say: Quick response

"I hit connected with this company after I put a offer on my first home. Next step was scheduling an inspection. My realtor had someone that she recommended. Me being me, I decided to compare prices. I was contacted by three companies including this one he was 200 bucks less than everyone. They were prompt and professional. I enjoyed the convenience being able to communicate via text, email and phone. The service was completed in two days. I couldnâ t be happier with the service."

"We had some storm damage to our roof, a combination of wind and hail. We checked, had a few quotes and went with Franos Roofing (who we found on Angie's List.) After contacting the insurance company, Arek met with the adjuster at our place and they inspected the roof. A few days later the insurance company denied the full replacement and wanted to just do several ugly patches. Arek contacted them and a few days later we received a call from our insurance saying the roof was approved - and that they were also going to repair the shed roof. The old roof was stripped and the new one on in a single day (it's a big roof!) This is the third roof we've had put on, and this was the best job we've seen. Attention to detail, replaced all the vents and fans, all new flashings and drip edge, ice shield - everything we expected and more. When they were done, they cleaned up extremely well. I ran a magnetic sweep over the driveway (Our car got a flat from a stray nail after the last roof) - not a single nail. Not one. Like many people in our area, we had a really bad ice dam this past winter. We called Arek with concerns about damage it may cause - instead of saying "get rid of the snow" he sent over a crew and they cleared off the roof. Amazing service. He also stuck to the estimate (which was really reasonable.) We highly recommend Franos Roofing. Thanks again for everything, I couldn't be happier. K"

FAQs for home inspection projects in Harvard, IL

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.
