"Mike Atwell of J May Home Inspection recently inspected my new condo. He was extremely helpful from our first phone conversation and throughout the inspection. He was very punctual and spent three hours looking closely at every feature of my home. He did not rush, answered my questions and patiently explained how many of the systems and features work. He sent me a detailed, preliminary report within 24 hours, and quickly followed up with a final report by US mail. My realtor said she had never seen such a comprehensive inspection report. Mr. Atwell is a consummate professional, with more than 20 years' experience as a home inspector, building consultant, teacher, former president and VP and active board member of the American Society of Home Inspectors. He is committed to educating and protecting consumers and is driving legislation to do so. Read: [*** Link removed ***] I highly recommend J May Home Inspection."

"Mr Sobol performed an inspection of a 1700 sq ft home in Shrewsbury. He made himself available on short notice. This was my 4th home purchase, and I know a few things - but, he found several things that I missed. He was eager to explain the tradeoffs and the concerns about various items. Ultimately, his findings led to an additional $9k of consideration from the seller. Though he did not estimate the work, his report allowed me to create an estimate spreadsheet that allowed me to negotiate from a well-informed position."

"Domenic and team did an amazing job. I honestly have no complaints. While they did not give me the cheapest quote, they certainly were not the highest either. I bought my two family house 13 years ago and the previous owner had roof work done that was less than par. Needless to say, I had many issues with birds and squirrels over the last decade, due to unsecured fascia board around the house. When Domenic and team starting opening up the fascia to redo and secure it, they found a lot of issues with the previous roofers work. The previous roofer never wrapped the fascia completely and they never secured it correctly. It looks like they did the bare minimum. And a home inspection would have never picked it up. Domenic and team were able to redo all the fascia board, install new gutters and down spouts. I will be using them in the future to maintain my roof, along with the annual cleaning out of the gutters. I highly recommend Hennelly & Son Roofing & Gutters to others looking for superior quality of service."

"Estimate was quick and simple. Didn't try and sell me too much such as doing the whole roof at a discount (which others did), and advised against extra work I asked about due to it making worse past issues with ice dams. Took care of everything else themselves. Followed up with me; but didn't try and chase me down for sale either which was nice. Price was good and very competitive, considering many places only do a full roof (other half was done with a new addition 5 years before). Scheduled a few weeks in advance and came on days and times scheduled. Payment was simple and easy, and communications with support staff went well. Only reason for not giving them an A is they missed a small part of a bay window they said they would do to match up with other shingles and seemed to leave in a rush as they left a couple of tools and extension cords there. Also did a good job cleaning up; but wasn't spotless either and found a bunch of leftover nails on roof, driveway, and in bushes (less so old shingles). Just left extra shingles in pile by driveway door and didn't hear anything else from them on job. But after inspection and winter job seems well done and these are minor issues. Not enough to call about, just not A level. Would recommend them.

"I got an estimate but I didn't end up using them. They gave a very quick estimate. They gave same day estimate because I was under a time crunch. He was good like that but I found he was very distracted. When he came for my appointment, he kept on getting telephone calls. Instead of ignoring them he would answer them. The interaction was okay. The quote was pretty detailed from what I recall. I don't know that I would recommend him just based on the interaction I had. I just feel like if you're going to be at someone's home and you're going to give them an estimate, I know he had other things going on but I felt like he needed to give me his undivided attention at that time. He was very responsive to come."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Stow, MA

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.
