We hired Watkins to inspect a Mobile Home for us June 2025. He didn't do a thorough inspection! Major water leaks present in living room. Previous roof leaks may have hidden mold in ceiling areas. Windows with broken seals. Loose toilet that couldn't be tighten as he described, toilet had to be cut off for repairs. No review of the water heater. Not the professional Inspector we thought we hired. Will cost us thousands to repair this missed inspection items. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Response from Company:

Im sorry you felt the inspection was not accurate. However there are inaccuracies with your review. There was a review of the water heater, it?s a standard item in my plumbing section. Issues with the roof were identified in the report. The roof vents were improperly installed. Exposed nailheads on flue and vent-stack jacks. Toilet seat repair/replace for being loose, I made no mention of the proper repair. The 500 character limit of this comment limits addressing all inaccuracies.

The inspector was so helpful and very thorough. He answered all of our questions and took the time to show us particular points of interest. The house was old and had a lot of issues but he took his time and walked the entire exterior and interior of the house. We had his report back in less than 24 hours. I would hire him again!

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
