"My husband and I recently noticed some damage to our roof that we attributed to natural causes such as wind and hail. A friend of ours had her roof replaced recently and we asked her for a referral. Her home is nearby and we couldn't help but notice how her yard was protected and how timely the job was done. We contacted Cornerstone and Troy immediately set up an appointment for his inspection. He met with our insurance company and was professional yet friendly. The Insurance company agreed with Troy and the project was underway. The job was completed in a timely manner, the workers were professional and overall it was a very good experience. Troy was easily accessible and knowledgeable. Any questions we had were answered intelligently and honestly. I have since recommended Cornerstone to friends interested in home exterior repairs.

"Craig came out and gave me a very competitive estimate to repair my siding (less than his counterparts). He was also quickly able to tell exactly what make/color I had without having to go through a week+ of research. His installation team took a couple days longer to get to my house than planned but overall they did a good job on the work. I would recommend him to anyone that needs siding work."

"We hired Ben at Pandacon to inspect a new home we are purchasing. The detail and depth of his knowledge regarding virtually every aspect of the home made us know we picked the right inspector. If you need your home inspected you can stop looking online right now and just call Pandacon. After our inspection I still had questions and Ben made himself available to me regardless of the time and was very patient, courteous and thorough in his explanations. The billing and contract process was also very simple, and the price was average compared to most others, but what I got in return was anything but average - it was superb! The best advice I can give anyone is not to try and scrimp and save on the "cheapest" inspector. They could miss something that will cost you dearly later. You want someone like Ben who is going to scrutinize the property and dig up all its dirty secrets. Pay Pandacon's fair rate and you get a much much more than fair inspection, you get an awesome one. I would 110% hire him again. I will make sure my family and friends use him. Thanks Ben!"

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.
