"Extremely well. First, the company was transparent and gave me a fair estimate before the work. We scheduled a time and day and Clifton Allen and Kevin Judd werfe on time, professional, worked right through a hot and humid day, and the work was beyond expectation. I will have them return this fall to wash and restain the deck. They require a down payment of about half the estiamte up front, and will bill the rest after the work by email. During the work, Mr. Brown, the supervisor came out and inspected the work. A very well managed company and look forward to hiring them agsin. There is not question they know what they are doing"

"Highly recommend this company. I had a very good experience. I used Cox Roofing because it is one division in a larger corporation and I have other repairs to be done and it will be easier to deal with the same group for all projects. Everyone I dealt with from sales to Cindy in the office were very friendly and answered all my questions along the way, even if I asked the same thing multiple times. I was told what to expect before, during and after the job.
I was shocked at the number of guys on the crew to do my roof (duplex rancher). I had 9 guys to begin with and later in the afternoon a couple more showed up to begin all the clean-up of old material. I had a question about an area of boards that I thought might need to be replaced and it needed to be looked at from inside my attic. I asked one of the guys and he came right in with me, went up to the attic, looked at the area and went back out to speak to the foreman on the roof. That quick they decided to replace that board even though it looked alright from the outside.
I also had some concrete work done. The guys were friendly and hard-working. As different projects come up around my home I will contact the company first to see if they have a division that can handle it.

"I couldn't have been more pleased with Charm City Roofing. Home repairs, especially roof repairs were something I dreaded to think about. My experience with Charm City Roofing changed all of that. Starting with my point of contact Mac who did a WONDERFUL job explaining the process and providing a comprehensive step by step of how the installation of my replacement roof would be completed. My home currently has solar panels which needed to be removed before the installation of the new roof could begin, due to the slow response from the solar company this took over 4 months! Dispite this headache, while waiting for the removal the Charm City Roofing Team checked in with me periodically, maintained my tentative install date and continually assured me they would get the job done. The roof was completed as promised and I couldn't be more happy, the installers showed up on time! roof was completed in one business day! (Again as promised) Yard was cleaned up Completely of every material."

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.
