"He is very punctual, arriving at the house even earlier and starting the inspection promptly. He is very experienced and shared valuable house-maintenance knowledge with us. After the inspection, he emailed me the report the next day. It was a great experience working with him."

"I found Beantown Home Improvement when I went to a home show in January of 2018 I talked a little at the time to several groups there about siding and later set up appointments to visit my home. I like Beantown Home Improvement for several reason Jim the owner gave me several phone numbers of jobs down in the past to call which I did and I talked to 7 different home owners who had similar work done on their home and all were very happy with the way their project went. Beantown was very up front with all the information cost etc. What I like the most about them was when I sent a email with a question I had a answer sometimes in ten minutes but always with in the hour regardless of when I sent the email or what day I sent it there was no chasing after the contractor to get the job done or answer question. Once the job started the crew was here until the job was completed and inspected along with the final inspector by the owner of the company. The crew did a great job each day very respectful clean up the work site each day. I have a fairly large home and they got the job down in less than 3 weeks. Very happy with the work the house looks great"

"Update: 7/27/15:
After reflection, I figured I was harsher than is called for! Perhaps, he didn't convey clearly that he did make some repairs. More time on site to deliver value; perhaps they don't get paid much of the voucher, and better communication can be helpful.
===
B&R improvement was quite easy to work with in scheduling a visit. The only problem was that it turned out to be a roof inspection and a quotation for the whole roof replacement. But, the voucher I bought is meant for repairs. Apparently, a part of small part of the roof needs attention soon; while the rest might last a few years; considering that it is 19 years into its 30 year life.
The voucher included a number of repair items and I felt that it didn't serve the intended purpose. If I was looking for quotation for roof replacement, perhaps I could have gotten that free from any roofer. Remember I am not judging the roof replacement quotation from B&R Home Improvement; but rather that I didn't get what I was expecting for the voucher."

"Everything you could want when it comes time to replace your roof you will find in Waterman: quality, affordability/value, and customer service. Within a few weeks after deciding on shingle type and color, our roof was done. The crew was hardworking and respectful and the roof is gorgeous. Our roof is complicated and the work ended up spilling into the following day, yet we were not charged any more than originally quoted. Furthermore, when we arrived home after it was all finished, you wouldn't have known anyone was there because every single staple, nail, and chunk of old shingle was cleaned up. We've never seen such a good clean up job in our years of home ownership and repair. The owner, Brian Waterman, was a genuinely nice person to deal with and extremely professional. We can't recommend this company enough.

"Roofer's Edge was overall great to work with. We did some major maintenance to our home exterior over the course of several months--and from the start Kevin was prompt, courteous, and gave us a very fair quotes compared to other companies we contacted. We had a bit of trouble with our exterior paint job where some iron plant hangers were semi painted over, but once we pointed it out Kevin took care of it. They were super patient, allowed us ample time to pick the exterior color we wanted, and didn't raise an eyebrow when we asked to have our front door painted a 2nd time in a different color. We were very pleased with the exterior paint job, as well as our gutter replacement, rotten siding replacement, and roofing. We'd definitely use Kevin and his crew again and can highly recommend his services."

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.
