"Dan was professional and thorough in his home inspection. I did not require a formal report for this home inspection, however, Dan provided a complete analysis and helped us specific issues that need to be addressed. Dan is also a certified electrician, which provided an additional value add to the home inspection. I would recommend Dan to perform your home inspection."

"Hired to check for small rodent or bird in my chimney. Came out & did a complete inspection for no charge outside & in. Hired him to do a camera inspection of the chimney inside. He is very punctual & will call when he is on his way. Excellent customer service, which is almost unheard of now."

"I was in dire need of a new roof on my garage. It is late October and I was running out of decent weather and time. I had a few people look at it and either I wasnt happy with them or they wanted to wait until spring. Eventually I found Mike Seibold. I have worked in the construction industry for the last 34 years, and I like to work with people who are competent, confident and take pride in what they do. Mike is all that, so I hired him. They fit me in, despite the threat of some pretty nasty weather and completed the job in about half a day, while we were at work, school, etc... I left for work, came home, wouldnt even know they were there, except for the new roof.....giant item crossed of my to-do list. I cant recommend these guys enough."

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

"Gold Construction Roofing did a fabulous job completely replacing a porch roof on my Victorian home. They took special care to use materials designed to insure proper draining in a complicated design. In addition, parts of the original wood siding that had been damaged by water, were replaced with exact matching wood siding. This company went way beyond my expectations and I recommend them without reservation. In addition, Tony is an exceptionally nice man to deal with. He gives clear explanations of everything that will be involved in the work he is doing."

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.
