"Chris was extremely knowledgeable in regards to any question that we asked. He was thorough in his inspection taking his time and often double checking. He communicated throughout the entire inspection all the while maintaining a pleasant and professional demeanor. He even took the time to sit down and address any question we had in addition to all the question we had already asked. He did not just tell us the answer in instances where he could show us he did so. Chris also provided us with a wonderful handbook. On the next day I called him after reading the report and he took the time to go over each item I did not understand. He made an otherwise nervous and stressful experience much easier. I would definitely hire this company again, as well as recommend to others."

"Chris is an amazing inspector - thorough, friendly, knowledgeable. He even pointed out recommendations for how to maintain items around the house. He also performed a septic inspection and he has top quality tools to perform that too. He was even able to locate the septic access points without any plans. This is the guy you want to inspect the biggest purchase of your life!"

"I called this company after seeing their deal and high ratings on Angie's list. They were able to come out the next business day and take care of my dryer vent. The lady I spoke with at the office was incredibly nice and helpful. She answered all my questions and got me scheduled quickly. She called the day of my visit and asked if they could move my appointment up due to some schedule changes, which was fine. The tech was about 10 minutes early, but didn't give me a hard time for not being home just yet; my window was at 2pm and I got home at about 1:55pm. He had started inspecting the exterior of the dryer vent while waiting for me and let me know there were no birds nests or obvious obstructions. After taking a look inside, he got to work and about 30-40 minutes later, my dryer vent was clean and my dryer has been working great since. Once he finished cleaning, he showed me some pictures of the dryer vent and how bad it was. Having recently moved from CA, he also let me know that you do not pay tax for labor in the state of VA and that fall was the optimal time to get dryer vents cleaned because the chances of birds creating nests right after you get your vent cleaned out is pretty low."

"I was beyond impressed and pleased with the service that Josh Meloney provided. He was extremely thorough and detailed in the inspection of my home. He was also very helpful in answering some questions that I had regarding certain areas of my home. Josh was also very prompt in sending over the report on the same day as my inspections. The format of the report was highly detailed and easy to follow, including pictures of the areas he inspected. I would highly recommend Josh Meloney and JA Inspection Services to anyone. His level of professionalism and expertise were exceptional and he was a pleasure to work with."

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.
