"Amazing service! I called on Monday; Luke Schares came by Tuesday afternoon to inspect, estimate, and prepare the contract; and the work was done on Thursday. While I anticipated it was time to replace my roof, Luke carefully documented and explained all the issues with the old roof and why it needed to be replaced. He also showed me that no other of the 172 roofing contractors within 100 miles fulfilled as many search qualifiers on Owens Corning's website."

"Phillip was awesome. We asked for a home inspection and sewer scope. You thoroughly conducted his inspection, went over everything with me in detail, and provided me a very nice report that was nicely organized and included images and videos. I highly recommend 8 Point Home Inspections LLC!"

"I can’t recommend Encompass Home Inspections highly enough! As a Realtor, I work with inspectors all the time, and Encompass stands out for their professionalism, thoroughness, and the time they take to educate buyers. Their reports are clear, detailed, and delivered quickly — but what I appreciate most is the way they walk clients through every step without overwhelming them. They answer all questions, explain the “why” behind their findings, and ensure everyone feels confident moving forward. Reliable, knowledgeable, and extremely easy to work with — Encompass makes what could be a stressful process feel smooth and reassuring. I’ll continue recommending them to clients with full confidence!"

"Dave at Princess Anne Contracting is personable and professional; certified and ethical. A few months ago, I had a small roof leak after a storm. I had contacted a different company and they tried to take advantage of me. The dishonest company quoted me $7,000 and said the back half of the roof needed to be replaced. I knew this was false because I had a home inspection two months earlier and the inspector said the roof had several years left. I contacted Princess Anne Contracting based on a neighbor’s recommendation. Dave promptly came out and quickly identified the problem - a small piece of flashing had come loose. Dave immediately fixed the flashing, also fixed a shingle he noticed was coming loose and even cleaned out a gutter that he noticed had some debris in it. It only cost $125. Dave saved me $7,000 dollars that the unethical company tried to charge. Dave assured me that the roof still had several years before it needed to be replaced. And, I’m happy to say that several months later, Dave’s repair held up like a champ while the remnants of Hurricane Ian passed through last night! Quality work at an affordable price. I highly recommend Princess Anne Contracting!"

"Absolutely amazing... from the roofing estimate (site survey, drone pictures, two detailed estimates), to the office support (roof color addresses, scheduling), to the installation team (on time arrival, landscape/pool netting protection, daily clean-up, roof repair/installation, final inspection) I have only positive comments and thanks for the Roofing Systems of Hampton Roads team. I highly recommend RSHR for any roofing job. A special thanks to Jeremy Carroll, Joshua Carlson and Cristle Barnett"

"I used Jayhawk exteriors 3 years ago for a very small install of gutters (on an addition in the back). When it came time to wrap my windows, facia, soffit etc as well as get new gutters, I knew who I would call. James came out and gave me an estimate, he was on time and professional. The crew showed up as planned and the job was completed on time and for the price agreed upon. The crew was friendly and respectful. After full inspection of the job, I asked James to send someone back out to caulk a few more spots. No questions asked, James sent someone out (foreman from my job) to fix those few spots and that was it. I’m very pleased with their work AND their crew."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Norfolk, VA

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.
