"It went exceedingly well. We had someone out to inspect and quote the day after initial contact. He took pictures of the damage and showed me exactly what needed to be done. All workers were very polite and kind to our family and came and worked and cleaned up and left while using excellent social distancing and mask discipline. I look forward to working with Home Evolution again in the future."

"It began with a detailed inspection of the condition of our roof. Every aspect of the inspection was professional and made my wife and I really comfortable in using their service as opposed to others. They had a great selection for us to choose from (we went with the Corning product). They were able to get us scheduled in no time at all. No debris was left once they were done. Last, but not least was their ability to work with us on the financing for the project, which really brought down our stress level :-)"

"S&G Roofing did a phenomenal job! A++ work. I was impressed from the start with there quick response to my initial inquiry for an estimate, to the inspection and ease of understanding options available regarding product & payment choices. All employees who I spoke with and were involved with my house project conducted themselves in a professional manner and job was completed in a timely manner. They’re attention to detail with both installation of the two roofs as well as keeping area cleaned up and free of debris throughout was meticulous. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a roofing company."

"

Very prompt return of my initial call in 5/2014 (Mr. Martins was out of the country!)  Came to  my house himself and inspected my roof and gave me a written estimate.  Was still willing to work with me when I had to delay getting the roof replaced 6 months later due to problems dealing  with my home owners insurance company.  Started the work promptly on 11/4/14 and completed the work as promised on 11/5/14.  The roof looks great!  His co-workers were very polite and prompt.  They cleaned up all the material and debris  and left me some replacement shingles to have on hand.  Mr. Martins was very pleasant and knowledgeable.  He gave a lot of free advice even before I hired his company to replace my roof.  I am very happy to have my new roof before the winter starts. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing!  Would recommend Mr. Martins and Perfection Roofing in the future.


He stood by his initial estimate.  There were no surprises. He gave me suggestions for selecting the roof color.  Quality materials were used as promised. Looking forward to many years with my new roof!

FAQs for home inspection projects in Ghent, NY

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.
