"Josh and Kyle came out to inspect a leak in my roof. They were very honest with me and looked through my old contract from the past company who did the roof and told me that it was still under warranty. They found the issue, didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need and pointed me in the right direction! Would highly recommend them for their honesty and professionalism!"

"Very professional. Wonderful to work with. We hired them to put an addition on our home. They did everything very well : foundation, building the rooms, putting in insulation, drywall, painting, flooring, windows, roofing, plumbing, framing doors and windows, ductwork. They even built raised flower bed structures to go around the outside of the new addition. They are a very talented and skilled company."

"Would not schedule an estimate if my husband can not be there, reason? So they can put a lean on your home if there is any dispute? Because that is the only way they can put a lean on your home if both husband and wife signed contract. I Will not again deal with any business that distrust its customer! I had made that mistake with Avalon building concepts. MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THEM TO AGREE TO AN AUDIO RECORDING OR DO NOT LET THEM COME TO YOUR HOME FOR AN ESTIMATE, THEY WILL BE AGGRESSIVE IN THEIR SALE PITCH, AND PROMISE YOU THE WORLD THEN DOUBLE TALK LATER, AND WHEN YOU DEMAND THEY DO IT RIGHT BEFORE YOU PAY THE BILL, THEY THREATEN TO PUT A LEAN ON YOUR HOME BECAUSE BOTH OF YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT."

"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."

"Patrick was pivotal in credibly identifying safety, code, workmanship, quality, and structural issues on our home addition and garage project done by a Mason, Michigan builder who, despite being verified as licensed and insured with a 5 star review rating, proved to be a failure on all levels of home building. Until the inspection with Patrick of The Buyer’s Inspector, we had no idea how grossly misplaced our trust was in this builder. When COVID-19 shutdown our project we began noticing quality problems. This led us to hire Patrick from The Buyer’s Inspector. He was thorough, detailed, and spot on for the major problems as well as minor issues he identified during his inspection, including the multiple structural deficiencies. He recommended we hire a structural engineer to investigate these deficiencies in detail and the engineer verified all of Patrick's findings. It has been a very trying time legally fighting for our project to be done right but we thank Patrick for identifying all the problems using his extensive knowledge, experience, and understanding of Michigan's Building Construction Codes and industry standard building practices. Without his help we would have likely been stuck with this horrible build project that is riddled with safety, structural, workmanship, quality, and code issues. We highly recommend Patrick to anyone needing a thorough and detailed home inspection."
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.
