"Jimmy Koehler from General Home Improvements (GHI) arrived Monday, 15 May on time as discussed and commenced working. Jimmy began by replacing the fascia board directly above the front porch steps and then proceeded to replace the frieze board on the right side of the porch. We had discussed replacing the left porch post, but Jimmy was able to repair it and saved us money in the process. On Tuesday, 16 May Jimmy finished the work on the porch, including priming the new boards, and then moved to the back deck. He replaced the side board on left side of the back door leading to the deck with a composite board and then moved on to replacing three deck boards that had rotted. Upon removing the board Jimmy discovered that some of the support boards underneath had also rotted and we ended up replacing five boards, which entailed removing the right side of our surround privacy partition that we had installed when we had a hot tub on the deck. In the end Jimmy had to remove two more deck boards for a total of five and then replaced the support?bracing underneath. The fifth board had to be ripped due to the space was about half of what the other boards measured. Since we were not putting in another hot tub Jimmy asked us if we wanted to open up the space and he built an addition to fit/mesh in with the other railing section. The work was excellent and the deck looks great. Jimmy Koehler is truly a Master Carpenter. If you want cheap then GHI is probably not for you, but if you want outstanding quality craftsmanship and a Master Carpenter to complete the work, for a good value, then call GHI. Our original agreement was for $800.00 plus materials. In the end, due to the extra deck work we paid $1400.00 plus $233.00 for materials for a total of $1433.00. In the future I will call Jimmy Koehler for all of our carpentry needs."

"after making appointment, visited by salesman on agreed upon date.  he answered all of my questions &did a thorough inspection of the roof including attic.  quoted a  figure.  much higher than the other quotes I had been given but because of the thoroughness of the inspection, felt comfortable w/the quote after making some changes to get it lower.  I was kept informed along the way.  work was completed in 2 days.  the area around my house was left in its original state,  pleased w/the resulting work.  would hire again."

"'B-/C+' is the real grading. He manages several non-English speaking crews and so the quality of varies and no recourse with the people performing the work. The jobs looks good from afar, but the details are lacking. Many houses here are built with a "carpenter's gap" (google it). The workers did not mention this to me or to James Taylor, the consequence is my roof continues to let in vermin and this is now much more expensive to fix (I offered to pay the difference to fix this, never heard back). The workers also slid down the shingles and there is shingle wear where they slid down on their butts. The roof is functioning correctly, although we have sealed a several popped nails. The siding install was just the siding, the quote apparently did not include painting/sealing where the trim butts up against the siding ( I was told this is standard practice, so now I have to get up on a ladder and paint this myself). I was glad house wrap was included, but the work was carelessly cut and not according to Tyvek's overlap specification nor fastening (see picture. Manufacturer specification specifies a 6" overlap (red dots) and washered fasteners). Billing was clear enough. Email/phone response times long."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Kill Devil Hills, NC

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.
