I would recommend this company to anyone in need of a home inspection at any time."

"Roger was on site early. He was very detailed with the home inspection and really wants to teach home buyer about their potential new home. He was responsive to calls and messages immediately. Had all necessary tools with him to complete the job and walked every inch of the house. Answering any questions as we went along. Appreciated the teaching aspect he gave during the walk! I also loved that a Binder was given to me with a breakdown of each room of the house as well as in and outside of the home. Made it easy when I got home to discuss the key take away points of repairs and potential costs needed. He even agreed to do inspection on a Saturday so I could be available to walk with him. Would highly recommend this company if you need a home inspection at a fair price done right."

"Price was best around! My realtor didn't believe me and wondered how it could be so cheap. It's because Jerome is rounding his first year as a certified home inspector with years of experience prior to this to obtain his certification. He not only contacted me within half hour of showing interest on Angie's website, but scheduled my home inspection for the very next day despite having to travel 1.5 hours to my destination!! Some things were held up on my end and I had to end up rescheduling, which he did so two days later and was very accommodating. Before I settled on him, chosen over 3 other inspectors, I asked him why so cheap and he didnt hesitate to tell me becuase he's fairly new within a year of being certified. I asked if he minded that I ask him a few questions. He was very polite and much obliged. He went over the entire process from start to finish and what to expect, and taught me a great deal along the way. He always schedules your inspection for the allotted standard max time of 4 hours so that you receive exactly what you're paying for. He was very knowledgeable as evidence by his post inspection report. It had every little undesirable detail, and made sure to mark everything with a red flag that could possibly endanger my toddler. I valued that to the upmost. Everything that mattered to me, mattered to him and then some. Because I'm a first time home buyer, I was nervous about vagueness and not knowing what was going on. He was very eager to turn on his "Home Inspection for Dummies" dialog and was a great teacher. Most importantly, his voice not once expressed annoyance with all my questions. Because of Jerome, I confidently selected which tagged inspection issues to choose and which ones not to worry too much about. Honestly, I feel that because he was a "green stick" is what the overall experience so worry free! He's on his toes, very thorough no matter how small or big the home, eager to educate, and inspects above and beyond because he is newer and trying to make a name for himself and his family. I'd go to him time and time again and recommend him to anyone regardless of price, but especially because of the lower fee. I got a steal on my home inspection in both price and more importantly quality! Thanks Jerome!"

"The tech came in and did a through inspection on the stove top. He reported the problem to Choice Home Warrenty. It was determined that is was more cost effective to replace the whole oven. (It was all one piece). I only had to pay the service fee on my contract. The response time from CHW was very good but with COVID it took about 2 weeks to find someone to come out."

"Our air-conditioner broke down right at the beginning of summer, with two disabled individuals in the home it was not a good situation. I called American home Shield and they had a repair company out the very next morning. Remember, this is during the time of year when most heating and air-conditioning companies are very busy. The inspection was prompt and in no time the service technicians were given permission to start the work. In no time the air-conditioner was up and running, no they didn't replace it, but the Warranty did exactly what it supposed to do take care of a major expense in a prompt and efficient way."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Ottawa, WV

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.
