"Art was the best home inspector that I've ever dealt with, and this is coming from a recently retired residential real estate appraiser/broker of 40 years. He spent over 4 hours on site, was excellent in his communication skills both during the inspection and in his follow up call to see if I had any additional questions. The report itself was thorough and turned around within 24 hours. I would highly recommend him!"

"I had a great experience with Jeremy and Home and Property Inspection Services LLC. Everything was handled professionally, on time, and with clear communication throughout the entire process. The inspection was thorough and easy to understand, and I felt like all my questions were taken seriously. As an Army veteran, I hold integrity to a high standard, and I can honestly say this company delivered exactly that—honesty, respect, and professionalism from start to finish. That level of integrity is hard to find these days, and it deserves recognition. I trusted Jeremy whole heartly to insure I was purchasing a reliable home. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and trustworthy inspection service. Five stars without hesitation. 1SG (RET) Marcus Kegley"

"John Scott did an excellent job. He first explained everything to us, inspected the roof, and gave us a quote. His crew was very diligent and picked up all the debris before they left. I would highly recommend this company."

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 Electrical problems such as flickering lights, warm outlets, or outdated wiring present serious safety hazards.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.
