"Mike Atwell of J May Home Inspection recently inspected my new condo. He was extremely helpful from our first phone conversation and throughout the inspection. He was very punctual and spent three hours looking closely at every feature of my home. He did not rush, answered my questions and patiently explained how many of the systems and features work. He sent me a detailed, preliminary report within 24 hours, and quickly followed up with a final report by US mail. My realtor said she had never seen such a comprehensive inspection report. Mr. Atwell is a consummate professional, with more than 20 years' experience as a home inspector, building consultant, teacher, former president and VP and active board member of the American Society of Home Inspectors. He is committed to educating and protecting consumers and is driving legislation to do so. Read: [*** Link removed ***] I highly recommend J May Home Inspection."

"Jason showed up early and was extremely detailed on our home inspection. He completed the report with photos of the entire property the same day. He also outlined tasks that need to be done in short and long term periods. We had a really great experience with him and would recommend him to anyone!"

"Stuart is professional, thorough, responsive and very knowledgeable. He patiently answered all of our questions throughout the inspection and we left feeling like we had a great understanding of the home we're buying. As for the inspection report itself, I intend to reference it for months and years to come as I prioritize improvements. Stuart was also able to turn the report around quickly to accommodate the timelines of our purchase. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of home inspection services."

"John, the owner, was the contact person. he provided the estimate and oversaw teh work. John was prompt with his quote and provided detailed pricing in the quote. He sent me to look at other homes he had sided. John was on site each day. The job went very well. Any extras added while the work was being done was discussed ahead of time. hohn even called a gutter company when I decided the old gutters would not go with the new siding. The work crew was pleasant and efficient. My house looks beautiful! I would recommend All Under One Roof.

"We hired Jason to inspect and repair our almost 100 year old slate roof as well as find the source of a specific leak. Jason was an extremely knowledgeable craftsman. He walked us the entire repair process in fine detail, discussing the various repair options. His quote was fair and accurate. He showed up to work on time with his crew, and then delivered an extremely detailed report of the damage he found and the work he completed. He provided specific pictures of everything he found and repaired, and also provided drone pictures of the entire roof after the project to allows us to confirm the work was done. He also provided several suggestions for further maintenance in a low-pressure and very reasonable way, offering to stage them out over multiple projects to manage costs. Besides fixing the specific leak, he found at least six other areas which needed repair as part of our project. We intend to hire him again to continue periodic maintenance yearly as required. Strongly recommend!"

"Outstanding responsiveness, work, professionalism, everything - I am very grateful!  I called Willard on a Friday, and 
1. A very helpful and straightforward person picked up the phone immediately;
2. A gentleman came the next work day to examine the job;
3. Willard emailed me a detailed and comprehensive quote the next day;
4. Willard ordered parts immediately upon receipt of contract and deposit; and
5. Willard returned in one week and did all the work in one day, so neatly and so cleanly the only change I noticed on coming home was that suddenly I had new skylights and repaired roof and siding.  

The windows and roofing stood up under a downpour without a drop getting through, and I now have amazing solar-powered motorized skylights.  Every time I contacted Willard the phone was answered right away, and every time Willard came exactly when scheduled.  The contract manager was kind enough to go through the entire job details with me and also to give advice on another structural problem with the house.  This after I already had been left hanging by one "top-rated" company and ignored by a second.  

I am very thankful, and I certainly hope to use Willard for any and all construction needs!  "

"Chimney flashing had come loose so the roof was leaking.  With all the snow we had they were super busy but they promised to get to us before the end of the year.  The day they were able to come we couldn't be home so they carried everything up ladders to the roof of our Cambridge triple decker.  I was so happy to discover (returning home) that the job had been completed--and especially since it snowed and snowed and snowed right after that repair.  We will need to have this roof totally done at some point; I'll call Newton Roofing again.

We did some back and forth calling.  There was a lot of leaky roofs and roofers were really slammed when we needed ours done too.  But they didn't over-promise and got the work done by the date they said they would.  The price wasn't the lowest (estimate) but it wasn't the highest either.  We all thought it was fair (condo assoc)."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Lexington, MA

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.
