"Mike Atwell of J May Home Inspection recently inspected my new condo. He was extremely helpful from our first phone conversation and throughout the inspection. He was very punctual and spent three hours looking closely at every feature of my home. He did not rush, answered my questions and patiently explained how many of the systems and features work. He sent me a detailed, preliminary report within 24 hours, and quickly followed up with a final report by US mail. My realtor said she had never seen such a comprehensive inspection report. Mr. Atwell is a consummate professional, with more than 20 years' experience as a home inspector, building consultant, teacher, former president and VP and active board member of the American Society of Home Inspectors. He is committed to educating and protecting consumers and is driving legislation to do so. Read: [*** Link removed ***] I highly recommend J May Home Inspection."

"He is very punctual, arriving at the house even earlier and starting the inspection promptly. He is very experienced and shared valuable house-maintenance knowledge with us. After the inspection, he emailed me the report the next day. It was a great experience working with him."

"Hiring Mark to do a home inspection for a property that my wife and I are buying was worth every penny of his fee. Mark was available to do our home inspection the day after I called him and he was punctual. He spent over 2 hours and carefully inspected and ran each appliance that was in the home, checked the hot water temperature, checked each and every light and outlet throughout the house, garage and attic and did a complete inspection of the underside of the home. He also inspected the roof, exterior of the home and made recommendations. He provided us with a 45 page inspection report within an hour of the conclusion of the inspection and picked up on some marginal items that I had not noticed. Mark is a knowledgeable, professional, and qualified home inspector and I would not hesitate to hire him in the future."

"We had an inkling that our recently purchased home would need to have the gutters cleaned out sooner rather than later. That was confirmed when we found water leaking into the house during yesterday's storm! Joe was very accommodating and able to get a crew out the next day - talk about service. They found completely full gutters and blocked downspouts but removed it all in between today's showers. I couldn't be more pleased, he really helped us out."

"We had a great experience with Doherty Slate Roofing and would highly recommend Jason and his team. Jason came out in person to inspect our 1930s slate roof and talked us through the repair work and the advantages of the snow retention system. Liz in the office was responsive and super helpful. The work was easily scheduled and completed ahead of time exactly as quoted ($ 4,300 for snow guard and missing slates). These guys are gems - so hard to find experienced and knowledgeable slate contractors these days. We’ll definitely be calling them back for regular repair and maintenance work. Thank you Doherty!"

"Vellox was amazing. My neighbor recommended I check with them when obtaining quotes for the work on my house which needed a new roof and gutters. Gleyson Olivera from Vellox was the only company rep of all of the other 5 quotes I received who came to my home AND walked me around my house giving recommendations as well as listening to my concerns. The lead time was acceptable, the quotation was competitive and there were no "hidden" extras such as rotten wood add-ons. Also, Vellox was the only company to account for overhangs on my roof and bring the ice and water shield farther up the roof. All of the other companies missed this. I made the decision to go with Vellox and the work was completed in one day. The workers did a fantastic job, the installation looks extremely precise, neat and it's painfully obvious how poorly installed my original roof was. I am beyond pleased. The gutter installs also came out perfect and include guards so I don't have to clean them out again. The team was very professional, neat and timely and I would recommend Vellox Construction to anyone looking for similar work."

"When I called for a quote they were great.  Mr. Willard came out himself.  I was thinking I would need an entire new flat roof.  He suggested that I start with a repair that would be 2% the cost of a new roof.  A quote followed quickly.  the follow up was very slow and it was difficult to get a question answered.  Eventually they answered my question and sent a crew.  I stayed home to see the start of the work and notice that they were not doing what Mr. Willard said they would so I sent them home.  They came back another day, did what Mr. Willard said was needed and the patches worked great.  Saved me many thousands of dollars.   Overall it was a good experience but if I had not been home to watch the first day they would not have done what I was paying to get done.

FAQs for home inspection projects in Roslindale, MA

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.
