"On the first day, the work crew arrived at 7:45AM and began putting tarps around the house to catch the old tiles, felt, and nails; they also removed statuary from around the house so it would not be broken.  The crew was tearing off the old tile and felt before 8:00AM.  There were thirteen in the crew including the foreman.  Some of the workers were tearing off, some of the workers were gathering up the old items and tossing them down onto tarps, being careful to avoid vegetation, and the rest of the crew were stacking and then placing the old tiles and felt into a trailer to be hauled away.  The crew stopped for a half hour lunch and began working as hard afterwards.  My mother's house is quite large, so they removed the old roofing material from only the main part of the house, leaving the separate laundry room and garage for the next day.  After the ground crew was finished picking up the large pieces, they spent time cleaning the area over and over again with long magnates and even detailing the yard carrying a 5 gallon bucket.  Just as it began getting dark, the crew finished replacing the last hip and ridge and the final cleanup.  The next morning, before the crew arrived, I walked the grounds and found only a handful of small pieces of trash and no nails!  The crew again arrived before 8:00AM, they quickly stripped the remaining roof and started the cleaning process all over again.  By Noon or a little after, the crew was completely finished with the job and the project manager and I walked the grounds again, finding only a couple handfuls of trash.  I checked the house the next day and found some nails in the ceiling that had "popped" because of the hammering on the roof.  I also walked the roof and discovered a few areas that I wasn't quite satisfied with...I notified the project manager and the crew came back two days later (due to inclement weather) and repaired the areas properly, even repairing the nail "pops" inside the house.  Mr. Troy Hake has a wonderful crew and you will be very well satisfied with their knowledge and work ethics if you have the opportunity to hire this contractor!!"

"I needed a gutter section replaced on a commercial property in order to pass inspection from the city. I was running out of time to meet the deadline for the final inspection and they took on the challenge of repairing the section of gutter. I met the deadline and was able pass the inspection with no problem. They were absolutely amazing in the service they provided and went above and beyond to ensure that it was finished on time. I have excellent things to say about this company. I’m so grateful for their service and the understanding they had for my situation. Well done guys!"

FAQs for home inspection projects in Columbia, MO

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.
