"Hired to check for small rodent or bird in my chimney. Came out & did a complete inspection for no charge outside & in. Hired him to do a camera inspection of the chimney inside. He is very punctual & will call when he is on his way. Excellent customer service, which is almost unheard of now."

They quickly responded to our query and upon coming to the house gave an informative and thorough estimate, which included impressive presentation materials. The professionalism, craftsmanship and speed with which they finished the job were really extraordinary! Also, clearly Willie Swarey and his team truly care about their clients and their homes, and this was greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend Gold Star Roofing to anyone."

"Dan's team was absolutely amazing, and the new roof looks beautiful on our 1800s farm house! At the first visit Dan was able to answer all of our questions in detail and provided examples of the exact product we were getting. He accommodated a few specific requests that went beyond just the metal roof we requested. The price he ended up charging for the complete job was exactly as quoted and significantly less than other quotes we had received. The wait time for them to get started was very reasonable -- only a couple months. Dan was very responsive to my calls and emails throughout the entire process. The installation team were very respectful and did an amazing job with the roof! We could not be happier. Installation was done in just 4 days and (aside from the beautiful new roof!) you would never know they had been here. We would HIGHLY recommend Dan and his team to anyone looking for a "Quality" job!"

"I highly recommend Patrick Rightmier and superior quality home inspections. I hired them to inspect a home i was interested in buying and Patrick did an outstanding job. Patrick was on time and very diligent in his work. We spent a good part of the afternoon inspecting the home. He made sure to not miss or leave anything unchecked. He took the time to not only explain any repairs that needed to take place, but also how to care for it in the future and tips to repair it and save money. The Inspection report was highly detailed and the service was worth every penny. If you are interested in hiring a home inspector(you should before purchasing any home) do not hesitate to contact Patrick Rightmier and Superior Quality Home Inspections."

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.
