"B & R contacted me promptly after the initial contact via Angie's list. We had a couple of conversations over the phone about the job followed by an inspection of the problem and a prompt phone call with estimate for two repair options. Bob suggested that I go with the lesser expensive option and said that he would only advise me if he was confident it would solve the problem. The work was completed in less time than anticipated. The job was prepped, completed, and the property was completely cleaned to my great satisfaction. I contacted 5 contractors for this job. One over said the job was too small and I never heard back from the others. B & R is the only company that followed through. I am extremely please with the service and the work and I would not hesitate to contact them again in the future. I own rental property and maintain my Mother's house. I feel that I have finally found a competent and reliable company to handle my needs for all three houses.

"I would hire this company again in a minute! First, Richard responded to my request within a half hour of my placing the request for responses. He came to our home within a couple of days, did a thorough inspection and provided an estimate. The estimate was reasonable and we hired him. He and his crew were there three days later and replaced my entire house roof, porch roof, and small overhang. They worked a very long, hard day but were able to complete all the work in a single day and it was done well and beautifully. Not only that, they were very considerate of the rest of the house - they draped everything and cleaned up as they went. By the end of the day, except for a beautiful new roof, you'd never know they were there. Not a single nail was left on the ground. The entire crew was polite, professional and very hard workers. This was by far the easiest process I've ever gone through to have work done on my home. Absolutely fantastic!"

"Great service at a fair price! Recently, my roof suffered damage from a wind storm. After receiving several quotes, I went with NE Building and Restoration. From shingle removal, disposal and new installation of the entire roof â they were superb! I highly recommend NE Building and Restoration. Their service was excellent from the start. David Rosati, the owner, was very prompt to come out to the home for an evaluation and was very professional and courteous. We worked easily with my insurance company and they, and I, were very pleased with how quickly the job was completed. The quality of the material and workmanship was fantastic and the total price was spot on."

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.
