"If you’re looking to get any type of inspection or home services then look no further. I recently became a customer of Justin Ake after trying to get my soon to be home inspected. Rick was dispatched to the property and went above and beyond, both explaining the inspection process and showing me key points in the houses plumping and drainage systems. As well as providing information on other tests and services the company performs. I don’t normally write reviews, but I have to say this is one business that takes pride in their trade."

"Since a home can be one of the largest and costliest purchases a person can make, I went in as prepared as I could in securing the mortgage. Mark got high praise on Angie's List so I gave him a call to see what we can do. The coupon for a free bank appraisal upon transaction completion was a plus! There is a ton of paper work that goes into a home purchase, and I like to meet the person I'm doing business with, so Mark was gracious in inviting me to his office for our first meet on a Saturday. I could not do a weekday due to a busy work season. He even offered to drive and meet me at a half way point (we are approx 2 hours apart), but mutually decided his office would be best for being close to his PC and copy machine for all of the documentation. I came in with 90% of the docs that he needed on day 1 and whenever the bank needed more our communication was like a game of ping pong. While I made sure to send him something they needed within 24 hours, Mark and the bank communicated seamlessly with no lag in response time. My real estate paralegal was surprised that the bank and Mark would respond so quickly where most would take days. Even on the day of closing, the bank warned us that they might take until 5pm to get everything ready, but my lawyer's office had everything they needed by around 2-3pm.
At certain points I got nervous about the rising interest rates but this is not something anyone can control and Mark helped to calm me. I also freaked a bit about not meeting the interest lock deadline, but Mark somehow took care of it and got the bank to keep the same rate even though we were 4 calendar days / 1 business day late.
The absolute best quality about Mark's service is that he or his office WILL ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR CALL. We even spoke on the weekends sometimes. He might pick up just to tell you that he has to call you back later, but its real customer service that you get a human being to tell you this and not a voice mail that you're not sure they received or not.

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.
