"Keith guided me through where he thought my leak was coming from, told me how to repair it myself including what product would work the best. I had Keith inspect my roof, he patched several other locations. I plan to have Midwest Diversified do some other work in the future. I am very pleased with Keith-he is a true professional, treats customers with respect, provides on the spot estimates, is not pushy or aggressive in his sales approach. I would definitely recommend and will not hesitate to call him back again."

"We have been involved in about 6 home purchases over the years and know that not all home inspectors are created equal. Mark was definitely one of the better inspectors we have encountered. He was punctual and professional. He was very knowledgeable about a lot of things -- a jack of all trades is a good quality in a home inspector. He seemed to have a natural curiosity to figure out how things worked -- if he couldn't figure something out on the first try, he would keep trying until he could. Mark didn't mind crawling up into the attic space or accessing the crawl space to get a thorough inspection. He was very patient with us and took the time to answer our questions (we had many) and explain how things worked. He was very matter of fact about any issues that he did find -- some inspectors can be alarmists or more concerned about not upsetting the realtors or sale of the home. I felt Mark was very fair and balanced in his reporting of any issues he found. His report was delivered on time via email in a clear format with accompanying photographs.

"Tech that arrived was lousy. Came out of truck complaining about a back ache, blamed my AC issues on old windows. Never looked in the attic. Ended up hiring a company out of pocket who did a thorough inspection and made sensible recommendations."

"I needed inspiration of foundation and roof. The contractor from the other company didn't inspect foundations anymore but Taylor trucking company could do this for us. Turns out they were the company who replaced the roof we have on now several years ago."

"Jeremy did an amazing job! He was prompt, courteous and extremely knowledgable! The report came back very timely and was very thorough! His recommendation for termite inspection and follow through was a great add on to ensure FULL coverage was provided. I would highly recommend Sooner State Home Inspections for all inspection needs!"

"I met Blake at my job, we got to talking about my house, and he offered to come out and give me a free inspection. He came out as soon as I was off the next day and informed me of a lot of little bits of damage I hadn't previously noticed, and immediately helped me sign up and get my claim started. Blake met with the adjuster, went over my damage, and got my insurance to replace my entire friggin' roof. Roofmasters also came through and replaced all my gutters, down spouts, and my garage door. I didn't have to pay a dime outside of my deductible. Blake mediated between myself and the office to make all this pretty much effortless on my part. Pretty dang positive experience with Roofmasters overall."

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.
