"My first home purchasing and home inspection experience and I could not be more Grateful to Jim. He arrived early before me and started performing the outside inspection first, then the inside. Jim was professional and thorough, very kind and personable! He showed and explained things to me as well as delivered a report with all the details and pictures. A++++++ job, I would highly recommend Illinois Property Inspections to everyone! Jim was the Best!"

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"We originally contacted Tom to rip out and pour a new concrete patio in our backyard late summer 2014.  We got an estimate and Tom told us that his schedule was filling up but he would do his best to get our patio done as long as Mother Nature cooperated. Well....she didn't!   We had a lot of rain last Fall so that delayed the concrete jobs in front of ours.  Tom explained this could happen and let's be honest....we cannot control the weather!  Tom told us that he also does remodeling work during the winter months.  We asked Tom to provide a quote for our basement.  We had a good idea of what we wanted and Tom had no problem understanding our "vision".  His proposal was good and we signed the contract.   Tom and Zack showed up the first day and started tearing out the basement.  They took it down to the studs and cinderblock walls.  When they removed the drop-in ceiling it was discovered that the electrical had to be redone as the prior owner or builder did not have it up to code.  Our new shower is ceramic and we went with a multi-function shower system.   The ceramic had to be cut around each of the 7 shower heads/handles/sprayers.  It was alot of work but we never heard a complaint.  Mid-job we added a tankless water heater for this bathroom.  Tom and Zack were able to run a new gas line and install with no issues.  Our previous bathroom did not have an exhaust fan so our  plan was to to add one.  Our thinking was "bigger the better".  The fan was delivered  and it was too big to install in the ceiling.   Tom jumped on the phone with the manufacturer to see if we could install the fan in the wall.  Luckily they were able to figure out a way to get it installed in the wall.   They also had to run a vent to the outside.  As the bathroom was coming together, I noticed that our old bathroom window looked bad.  I asked if it was too late to get a new one.   Tom said "no" and picked it up the next day.  The new bathroom fixtures and cabinets were added with ease (at least they made it seem easy!).  We added new interior doors including 4 pocket doors.  We added drywall to the laundry room, canned lighting, ceramic flooring throughout and new wood trim.  They even painted!   In the midst of our construction, our main water heater went out.  Tom and Zack stopped what they were working on and replaced that too!   They also added lighting to our garage and ran a separate line for an electrical outlet on the outside of our garage.   We will have them back next Winter to finish the other half of our basement.
Tom and Zack are professional and EXTREMELY knowledgeable.  Every night they cleaned up the work area before they left.   Tom and Zack came in to our home as contractors but left as friends.   Needless to say, we would recommend them to our family members and friends.  
We are on their schedule for our concrete patio project this Spring.   They will also be replacing some of the wood on our screened-in deck.   They will be replacing the screens as well.    I will do another review once this project is complete.

"It went very well. James Ballard is the preventative maintenance technician who did my maintenance inspection and he was very thorough. Jim explained what he was doing so I understood what it entailed. His customer service is excellent. He was on time and gave me a courteous call. I would recommend permaseal again."

"The technician was very thorough in checking to see if any subflooring had been damaged by the leak, and he explained in detail what needed to be done and gave me an estimate before starting work. I was very pleased by his solving the problem quickly. I was also pleased that the company contacted me about its plans and by the technician asking me if he could come earlier than he was scheduled as he had finished another job faster than expected. I really wanted my problem fixed quickly, so I was pleased by this request."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Manhattan, 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.
