"Josh and Kyle came out to inspect a leak in my roof. They were very honest with me and looked through my old contract from the past company who did the roof and told me that it was still under warranty. They found the issue, didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need and pointed me in the right direction! Would highly recommend them for their honesty and professionalism!"

"They do exceptional work. They built a ramp off of my deck. Also critter-proofed my shed. They did exactly what was written in the contract, showed up when they said they would and finished the job in a timely manner. High quality work."

"The installers arrived on time, worked hard and well for hours in the heat. They cleaned up as promised. Our only complaint was that one hole was cut too large for the access panel they were installing. The patch up job was so bad that after sending a picture to the office they sent someone out two days later to correct it and it was fine. I do wish I'd asked to see a picture of the panels first because they are clunky and very easily opened by curious small children. And be sure not to sign a contract at the first price you are given. This is one of those companies that uses the phone trick to supposedly get you a better deal. But only if you sign right away of course. All in all it was a good experience. And we do notice a difference in the bedrooms upstairs, despite a recent heat wave, which was our goal."

"They performed service earlier than expected. Workers were friendly but professional. When they left, my yard was actually cleaner then before the work started!"

"My first impression of Justin was over the phone. He was clear about what he does, very personable and just seemed to be very real and honest. He came out and seemed happy to answer all of my questions about his findings. He also gave me quick-fix and long-term solutions to each and every problem that he found with my home. He was patient, kind and thorough and I would highly recommend him to any friends and family that ever were in need of a home 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.
