"Scott from APEX contacted me immediately to inspect a house we had inherited. He worked with me to set up a convenient time and was even early for our appointment. Scott spent hours doing the inspection and went from top to bottom. It was pouring rain that day and he kept going outside. He not only did a great inspection, but has been helpful with things that we feel wasn't part of the job. Never hesitate to hire him."

"Dear Home Evolution I would like to take this time to personally thank James Carter Paul for the effort that he put in with the inspection / sale of my proposed new roof installation and with my Sunrun Damage Case 12750510 (dated October 2, 2023). The Sunrun Damage report was started because my roof started to leak after the installation of a new solar panel system on my home. I believe that the solar panels contributed to roof leakage. I am a recent widow and my husband took care of everything concerning the house, my future has been difficult. James Carter Paul took the time to explain what my needs were so that I could understand. Per his advice, I need a new roof; however, to do this the solar panels need to be removed and replaced. According to Sunrun, the â  Removal and Reinstall feesâ  would be $8,670.00. This cost was too expensive and to save on costs I asked for a reduction. James Carter Paul put aside his busy schedule at Home Evolution to help me with my damage case. He has gone over and above with helping me fight Sunrun. It took approximately 8 months to get the cost reduced. Based upon my discussions (and with Jamesâ  guidance) regarding the damage reported, Sunrun has agreed to waive some of the â  Removal and Reinstall feesâ  at a reduced cost of 60% (approx. $4000.00). In addition, I received 5 appraisals ranging from $14,000.00 â  $26,000.00 for a new roof. Home Evolution gave me the highest appraisal at $26K; however, I choose Home Evolution because of James Carter Paul and his great customer support and service! Because of Jamesâ  initiative, patience, and great customer support, I choose Home Evolution for the installation of my new roof. Sunrun will begin the work on May 20th and 21st to remove the solar panels. A new rebuild of my chimney will begin on May 21st. Home Evolution can start work thereafter. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Kim Jarratt"

"Yes very thorough , knowledgeable and helpful after the fact with questions. Was quick to respond and certainly not an alarmist. Would recommend for any form of inspection"
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.
