"This company is awesome. Bryan with the assistance of Melanie, inspected a home we want to purchase. The installation was very thorough and they were not rushed nor in a hurry to inspect and leave. Once the inspection was done they discussed pertinent findings with us with recommendations. We also received a very thorough online report on every aspect of the home. We would recommend The Inspection Guys LLC to anyone requiring an inspection of a home prior to purchasing"

"I am extremely impressed with this home inspector. Our inspector Cole came out and spent at least two hours on the property. Report was extremely detailed, he found everything. We were buying a renovated historic home and were nervous and felt my very much set at ease. He was also a former electrician very knowledgeable and found were some of the sockets were not grounded properly. They were also very fast to schedule he arrived early. I feel that the price was more than fair. I will definitely use them again!"

"Many roofers approached us after a recent hail storm and said that if we paid them the homeowner’s insurance deductible they would give us a new roof and they “would handle all the insurance issues.” I was uncomfortable with that approach. I wanted to know the details of the insurance settlement and I wanted to understand the quality of the roof and the warranties. Abel, the owner of Artisan Quality Roofing, sat down with us for about 2 hours and outlined what he thought needed to be done. He had a drone take pictures of my house and he looked at the fans in my attic and the skylights that would need replacement. Abel worked independently of the insurance company. He gave me his own quote for the roofing job. The insurer then did its own inspection and gave me a different quote. Ultimately the insurer added supplements to cover additional damage that Abel found. This approach was financially advantageous to me. The total cost, net of insurance, that I finally paid was less than half my deductible and I got a high quality roof with a long transferable guarantee on the shingles and the workmanship from CertainTeed as well as a full 10-year workmanship guarantee from Abel and Artisan Quality Roofing. Abel and the office staff at Artisan Quality Roofing were very easy to deal with. They answered all my questions promptly and helped me through the process. There were some small wrinkles involving replacing older oddly-sized skylights but Abel addressed them honestly and fairly and they all worked out. The roofing crew at Artisan Quality Roofing is Abel’s own crew; they have been working together for over 10 years. They not only know what they are doing but they also treat their customers with courtesy and respect. I got quotes from 5 different roofers and I am very glad that I went with Abel and Artisan Quality Roofing. They were terrific, I was very pleased."

"Greg was thorough and had a wealth of knowledge during my first time buyer walkthrough/inspection. Would definitely go back to ask for his expertise. Pricing for services were within budget as well."

"Beth Lindsey and Brandon Freeman were both very professional and very easy to work with. This was partial replacement of the exterior siding on our home, and it was amazing how well the James Hardie pre-finished siding matched up with the existing siding. The job was started on time, completed on schedule, and everything was cleaned up afterward. We’re very pleased with their work and will be using these folks for future projects."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Wake Forest, NC

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.
