"Contractor provided outstanding communication via email. If there was a change in schedule, we were informed in ample time. Service was exactly as expected. Kenny completed follow-up details by inspecing our property to make sure no nails were dropped on ground. This is a highly capable, pleasant and professional individual who performed all the right tasks in an impeccable manner. We will certainly contact this company in the future if we have roofing problems."

"They did this on one of my rental property.  I was very satisfied with the work and they came out in a timely manner.  The price was pretty good, since it was a rental property; I chose a comfortable range of price, amongst all the price ranges.  The home owner was very pleased with the job.  The responsiveness was very good.  I called them, they came and they gave me an estimate, after which I chose them for the job and the final price was exactly the same as the estimate.  They came when they said they would come and the tenants said they were very professional and cleaned up after themselves.  I will definitely use them in future."

"Our kitchen remodel involved installing new cabinets, granite countertops, tile backsplash, under the cabinet lighting, refinishing wood floors, performing some relatively minor plumbing and electrical work, installing a new gas range, new microwave, and two new wall ovens, and re-installing our existing dishwasher and fridge.  Overall we are very pleased with our experience with this company.  We primarily worked with Randy, who is in change of sales, Elizabeth, who was the designer, and Rex, who coordinated the renovation.  We had very little contact with Paul, the owner.  Everyone we worked with was extremely professional.  We were especially impressed with Elizabeth, who did a great job listening to what we wanted and designed a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional and fit exactly with the style of our home and our tastes.  She made the process of picking out cabinets, granite, and tile so easy, and her attention to detail made a big difference.  The venders that this company uses are all excellent.  All of the workers that came to our home were respectful, professional, clean, punctual, and talented at their craft. 
The remodel itself took about 5 weeks to complete.  We liked how the company uses a detailed online calendar to communicate what will be worked on each day.  We also liked how this company has a cleaning lady come and dust out the cabinets and clean up the kitchen at the completion of the project.  Any large home remodeling project will have its' problems, we only had a few bumps along the way.  There were some spots in the wood floor that needed to be refinished, and a couple cabinets that needed adjustments, and our kitchen faucet needed to be fixed - these were all taken care of in a timely manner and to our satisfaction.  We also experienced a discrepancy in the final invoice (just like a previous reviewer experienced), but this was corrected after we pointed it out.
Overall, we are very happy with the results and we would definitely recommend this company for any remodeling project.

FAQs for home inspection projects in Ottawa, KS

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.
