"As a first time home buyer, I wasn't sure what to expect from the inspection process. Steve Haslam was incredibly patient and friendly. He walked me through everything he would later note on the report, which was every bit as thorough and detailed as the sample report on the ValueGuard website. I was able to buy my home with confidence thanks to their services and would not hesitate to use them again."

"one of the most fastest and easy to set up home & termite inspection. I was notified by my agent that our offer was accepted and we needed to order a home inspection, that same day I called eagle inspection and a representative was readily available and took a few pieces of information and the inspection was set for the very next day with 4 different time slots to choose from. we meet Luis our home inspector and he was extremely nice, attentive, professional, experienced, very detailed, honest and simply just a pleasure to work with. once the inspection was done we got both full reports the very next day with pictures and explanation as to what's going on. I've had a home inspection done in the past for another home and this was my very best experience by far. I highly recommend, you don't want to commit to a home without having an inspection done, I assumed this house was fully renovated and the most expensive repairs were not done only cosmetic work. I'm very thankful we went with eagle inspection and we're blessed with such an amazing home inspector like Luis. thank you eagle inspection for making this so easy and quick to set up. very friendly and professional staff you won't won't regret it."

"When doing an inspection for my new home, I had Gen3 Electric come in and perform a specific electrical inspection. The contact who visited our home Josh T. was amazing. He came in and got into the details of our electrical system. By the end of the visit he was covered in dust and had a few pages worth of notes for us. He was able to provide us with detailed information regarding what systems were in need of repair, what systems could use a repair and what systems were already OK and not in need of service. This was amazingly valuable. He was professional, timely and understanding of what information we needed. We also had an outlet installed by another technician Dave C. He matched the level or professionalism that Josh gave us with the added benefit of performing the work. He protected our property, was friendly and professional. He was also able to provide us with additional information about our electrical system. This organization stands behind their work and will be our electrical vendor of choice in our new home."

"Genius was very professional, courteous and communicated well throughout. Shortly after my purchase, he confirmed acceptance of my proposed work date. I called him the morning of the job and left him a voicemail which he returned within a half hour. He arrived at the time he said he would and was friendly and presentable as a professional should be. We discussed the work to be done and he explained it should take about 2 hours to complete for the size of my roof. I also pointed out some porch roof flashing that was in need of repair and asked if he could do fix it as well. He agreed and began unloading equipment. He got to work quickly and I saw him move to the porch roof when he was done with the main roof. Shortly thereafter he knocked and informed me that he was done with all of the work. I stepped out to visually inspect the porch roof work and it was repaired and quite tidy. I asked how much the extra work would cost me and he responded that there was no additional charge as it was minor and straight forward. He also informed me that the roof was in fairly good condition and the new coating is expected to last about 4 years. When I offered to pay him something for the extra work he refused and said it was not a problem. We shook hands and Geno went on his way. I am very happy with the work, the price and his professionalism and highly recommend him!"

"If they respond I would consider using them. I do not like the limited options this review affords. I would not rate someone an F without at least having a discussion with them. I also have no date to enter for n My last contact with them as we never connected.
2/22 - After learning of my poor rating due to non-response to my attempts to get a quote on a roof replacement Summit called and apologized. We scheduled a date a couple days later for his inspection of my roof and I received a quote the following day.  This quote was very competitive with a few others I had received and I agreed to their proposal.  Both old layers of shingles were removed, some plywood replaced where necessary and a new roof layed in a single day. The owner and my contact just left after inspecting the work that was completed and all my questions were answered satisfactorily.  I am very satisfied with the whole experience and would like to revise my rating based on that.

FAQs for home inspection projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
