"Ryan was a personal, professional to work with and was thorough with his findings. The inspection report was very organized and included lots of pictures with straight forward comments listed underneath. The reports were sent within a timely fashion and was delivered to us by the time he promised. He does not rush through the inspection and puts you, the customer, first. Ryan's expertise made our family feel safer when buying our first home and we would recommend him to anyone!"

"Gray's did a fabulous job communicating with me. He contacted me within 2 hours to schedule my inspection and had me set up with an appointment the following day. He was very thorough and respectful of my situation. He had an attention to details and took many pictures. The final report was well put together, detailed, and included all pictures with explanations. Very professional service! I highly recommend them to anyone that need this type of inspection done."

"It isn't done yet, but the construction manager is not being cooperative about some details that are very important to us. His comments on the material and timing for staining the deck are not consistent with information from lumber experts I know."

"Originally reached out to this company for a new roof on a home I was trying to sell. Mike was very quick in getting out to my home, and informative on what we needed to get the job done. In the process of selling, I was told to pause the roofing plans, the owner of the company was extremely communicative, patient, polite, and respectful of all of my back and forth with plans. Although we ended up selling before needing to use them, we forwarded his information onto the new owners of our home after selling and we?re still happy with our experience."

Customers say: Quick response
"Very thorough and thoughtful assessment. Very understandable explanations of the process, of an energy audit, and pre final report findings. The only negative was that they didn’t inform prior to the audit the forms of payment they accept. They weren’t able to process a credit card on site and they pass the 3% visa fee onto the customer, just a very small negative."

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.
