"Highly recommend Josh! He was able to schedule our inspection within the same week we reached out. His inspection was very thorough (took a bit over 2 hours) and answered a lot of questions throughout the whole process, which was great as we are first time home buyers."

"As an out of state buyer, I relied heavily on the inspector to be my eyes. Horning did not disappoint. Excellent attention to detail, very professional report output with quality photos, and best of all, a very personable and knowledgeable inspector (Eric) who took the time to explain things to me. Highly recommend!"

"We LOVE the job these guys did! Our house is 40 years old, the lower 8' is brick, and there are 6 tall gables with wood siding (we have a very steeply pitched roof). The experience was great all the way through. Great communication upfront with Brenda in the office, then Tom stopped by to go over everything, even giving us a lot of ideas for colors/coordination. We ended up going with a 3-color scheme, and our house has never looked better! David & Jose did a fantastic job from prepping all the wood, doing wood rot repairs where needed and even rebuilding/replacing a faux flowerbox on the gable over our garage. I have already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so whenever anyone asks about the great new look our house has (and quite a few already have!) Thanks guys for a tremendous experience."

"David and his team knocked out a checklist of items that we needed fixed from the inspection of our home. Items included wood rot repair and minor plumbing and electrical work. His estimate was lower than the estimate I got from another company, and I was very pleased with the timeliness and quality of the work. Would definitely recommend and hire them again!"

"Clayton EADS was terrific! We called on a weekend to set up an estimate and he was at our home within the hour. He not only provided an estimate but also met our insurance adjuster at the house to discuss the storm damage. On the day of the work his team arrived promptly and they worked tirelessly from breakfast until dinner. That was it 1 day! The guys cleaned up after themselves and a month later we have not found any stray nails or left over roofing materials in the yard. I would highly recommend EADS roofing to anyone looking for professional team to get the job done right the first time. Thank you Clayton."

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.
