"Let me start by saying that HESS is an amazing company and Mohammed is wonderful example of a real customer-oriented business should look like. He was very professional, competent, approachable, responsive, genuinely caring, extremely knowledgable and ready to do anything in his power to do the project to customer's full satisfaction. I bought my very first house three years ago - it was build in mid 50th and even though it passed the home inspection it was painfully obvious that there is work and money investment that need to done both in the attic and in the crawl space - the house was incredibly drafty and it took a lot of HVAC's effort and energy to heat it up in winter and cool it down in summer. I got some estimates for insulation of both areas but the pricey were so exuberant that I put those project on a back burner. Until my friend told me about Mohammed and his company - they performed weatherization of her house and she was very happy. So I decided to give it a try. And I was more than satisfied! The whole process couldn't be any smoother. From the start when Mohammed performed the audit of the house, explained to me in details what the issues were and how to fix them, to bringing the crew of amazing workers who finished the job practically in half a day (working simultaneously in the attic and the crawl space) leaving the house spotless. And most importantly, my house feels absolutely amazing now! The temperature fluctuations between day and night that I experienced before have disappeared and the house remains pretty much at the same temperature all the time, without using heating/cooling during the months of May and June. Pretty amazing! And all of this work, with the help of Maryland programs (and HESS took care of all that paperwork!), cost me fraction of the money that original estimates asked for. I would absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend Mohammed and HESS to anyone who wants their house to feel good and comfortable and who wants to do it with a company that puts their customer satisfaction as their number one priority!"

"If possible, I would award a6.0 in every category. Roland and his team were professional, detailed, courteous and very affordable compared to five other offers for siding. I would strongly encourage anyone with home improvement needs to contact Star."

"Great experience from first phone call to finish. Their very responsive, customer-oriented staff let me know what was going to happen and when every step of the way. They replaced my 30-year-old roof to include skylights, as well as my gutters and downspouts. Quality, professional workmanship and thorough cleanup after the job was done. I will definitely choose Pond for future projects for my home."

"The metal plate has been re-installed professionally, but the roof was only inspected partially due to rain at the time. They did a smaller thing instead with a small reduction of the price."

"I thought Presidential did a good job replacing my roof. I thought the pricing was fair and the job was done from first contact with the company to finish in ~1 month. I would use them for home repair services again."

"We had one solar tube (14 inch) put in the bathroom and two installed in an upstairs office. What an incredible difference they make!! The company representative came to our home to do the estimate and explained all the options, including advantages, limitations and upgrades. His advice for our particular situation was invaluable! Once we'd selected our tubes, he scheduled installation for very soon. The installation was quick and minimally disruptive. We're thrilled with the rsult and would recommend these professionals without any reservation."

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.
