"He is very punctual, arriving at the house even earlier and starting the inspection promptly. He is very experienced and shared valuable house-maintenance knowledge with us. After the inspection, he emailed me the report the next day. It was a great experience working with him."

"Rich and Three Posts Home Inspections were fantastic. He was able to get me in for an inspection pretty last minute and responded to my initial request immediately. He arrived on time, and was so helpful during the whole process. As first time homebuyers, he made sure to explain everything in great detail and answered every question we had. He was great company to have through the nearly 3 hour inspection and didn't leave any boxes unchecked. He was so thorough, quick to respond to emails and requests even after business hours, and provided an extensive and detailed report with pictures within 24 hours. Highly recommend Three Posts!"

"Update: 7/27/15:
After reflection, I figured I was harsher than is called for!  Perhaps, he didn't convey clearly that he did make some repairs.  More time on site to deliver value; perhaps they don't get paid much of the voucher, and better communication can be helpful.

===
B&R improvement was quite easy to work with in scheduling a visit.  The only problem was that it turned out to be a roof inspection and a quotation for the whole roof replacement.  But, the voucher I bought is meant for repairs.  Apparently, a part of small part of the roof needs attention soon; while the rest might last a few years; considering that it is 19 years into its 30 year life. 
The voucher included a number of repair items and I felt that it didn't serve the intended purpose.   If I was looking for quotation for roof replacement, perhaps I could have gotten that free from any roofer.    Remember I am not judging the roof replacement quotation from B&R Home Improvement; but rather that I didn't get what I was expecting for the voucher."

"After an unusual situation arose at my home, I was concerned about the possibility of structural damage caused by drilling and new construction at an adjacent lot. After receiving a recommendation for Veitas Engineers from a trusted source, I called and scheduled an appointment. I am so thankful that I did. I continue to be impressed with the amount of time that the two engineers spent at my house, closely inspecting the exterior and interior. Within days, I received a 16-page detailed report which included drawings, photographs, recommendations, and action items. I was so pleased when I saw that the action items were categorized as structural and non-structural, that is, that the engineers included items beyond my actual structural concerns. I used the report when working with a contractor to follow up on the recommendations and action items. The contractor was impressed with the quality, clarity, and scope of the report. I am so happy that I chose Veitas Engineers!"

FAQs for home inspection projects in New Bedford, MA

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.
