"I contracted Mike from USA Building Inspections to inspect the roof on a house I'm in the process of buying. Mike was experienced, personable, and professional. He took the time to explain his findings and wrote a report in a timely matter. In my case the inspection cleared up some concerns I had, and now I am confident to go ahead with my purchase."

"The home genius team was very helpful. They put my roof on a while ago and I had a leak recently that they came and inspected. We determined that my box gutters needed fixed and I had them do the job. Walter the project manager was very helpful coordinating the work and the work lance did an amazing job repairing the box gutters."

"They did a comprehensive inspection of the old roof externally and internally, pointing out all the problem areas, something the other contractors I tried did not do as thoroughly (attic is not completely open). The roof was completed in a day and no debris was left behind."

"Apex was a wonderful contractor to do business with. The owner Pat Davidson is honest and provides a very detailed quote prior to contract signing. He provides comment on material options and answered all my questions with great detail. He was on site at the beginning of the job start to review the work details we previously discussed and agreed to. His highly skilled crew was very professional and not at any point did I question their quality of workmanship. Members of the crew were 20 and 30year plus employees of Apex, which says a lot for a company. Apex replaced our roof many years ago and did a top quality job then so we invited them back when the roof needed replacement and they did another top quality job. We've recommended them to neighbors over the years and all have been extremely satisfied with their work."

"I had a great experience with this roofing company. They took on a few side projects at my house and were completely transparent about what actually needed to be done—no upselling or unnecessary work. Their pricing was more than fair, especially considering the quality of the work. They were professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. When the job was finished, they left everything spotless, which I really appreciated. Overall, they did an outstanding job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for honest, high-quality roofing"
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.
