"Marcus was great in the inspection of my roof, explaining where the issues were, sending me copies of the photos so I can forward for possible insurance, and explaining in full every component needed for the roof to be done properly. Joe communicated timely with me on when the crew would arrive. They got here right on time. They were very thorough and professional, and the cleaned up extremely well. The roof looks great one less thing I'll need to worry about for a long time. Price was very reasonable and right in line with what I had calculated on my own. I would highly recommend this company."

"The first thing that got my attention after Devan knocked on door asking if we wanted an estimate was that he didnâ t just give us a number. Devan walked us thru all the material literally showing me each item that would be used and explaining to me how it would help and the purpose it served. Then he amazed me more when he asked if he could go into our crawl space. He did a very thorough inspection even showing me pictures of some of the problem areas. This was one of the biggest selling points on why I chose this company. From start to finish it was a absolutely amazing experience and Devan walked us thru each step of the way. You can judge a company by the people that it hires, based on that information and our interaction with not only Devan who sold us the roof but was the project manager to help make sure everything went smoothly. Dillion also emailed to make sure we were comfortable with everything, and Lauren was very responsive in helping schedule. From start to finish our project took less than a week. Absolutely amazing. As this company advertises it was a â Different Experience â"

During the actual home inspection he was super meticulous with his inspection. He noticed things i had overlooked. Major things he noticed was that the roof was wavy and find the reason. Second thing he found asbestos strips in basement. Overall Luke was the right person for the job he is someone i would definitely recommend in any inspections and future home inspections. Thank you luke"

"He inspected it and told me what was my issue and it wasn't mechanical."
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.
