"We hired LBS to inspect our home and identify potential issues. Adam was thorough and professional. He found some defects we weren’t aware of and even spent extra time on areas we wanted a more thorough evaluation. The final report was helpful and easy to follow. We recommend Adam and LBS!"

"Buck and his crew were great. From the initial inspection and getting insurance approval through construction everything was very smooth. Following the roof installation they left the site clean and I have yet to find a stray nail. I have neighbors that have been waiting since last fall for the "door knocker" roofers to complete their jobs and these guys had insurance approved and roof installed in a month! Highly recommend!!"

"Raymond met with the insurance guy three days, (Sunday morning), after a hail storm did a number on our neighborhood. He negotiated with the adjuster for the better materials and replacement metals. Raymond educated the claims guy on state/local codes required that the adjuster was unaware of, but agreed to include. He contacted a city inspector immediately; acquired the permit.
On Tuesday, two days later, our roof was replaced. Cleaned up great. Of the hundreds of damaged roofs in the area, none were completed with such expedition.
Raymond has been patient in receiving payments as my insurance company dragged its feet on issuing all the checks. One got lost in the mail, and he is still waiting for the final payment a month later without complaint.
The work was done professionally, sent people out a couple more times for minor touch ups, threw in a new roof water heater vent at no charge that insurance wouldn't cover.
I can't say enough positive things about Mr. Strantz and his company - will definitely contact TRS again for any future home improvements.
It is with ease, I give this top recommendation.

"From the first estimate to the finished roof it was totally easy and professional. They did a great job on the roof, cleaned up after word, and I felt the price was very fair . I would highly recommend this company they do what they say they’re going to do and are honest. And I got a beautiful roof!"

"I needed my roof inspected after a severe hail storm. Clay was on time, inspected the roof on the garage and home, also inspected the rain guards. He discussed his findings and recommended that no replacement was required, and the rain guards while showing some minor storm damage, was still functional and didn't feel replacing them would be of benefit at this time. I was pleased that he took the time to review everything and also felt the roof had many years of service left."

"I have to say Steve, Lisa Gruye and they're team are tops when it comes to professionalism, quality, and customer service for home improvement projects.

I would not hesitate to recommend Pro Exteriors and will be calling them again if I need work done. Excellent job! Excellent service! - Dan 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.
