Who We Help
Our manufactured (mobile) home services are designed for:
​
-
Buyers purchasing a manufactured or mobile home
-
Homeowners refinancing or preparing to sell
-
Realtors working with FHA, VA, or conventional financing
-
Lenders and underwriters requiring compliant documentation
-
Owners needing professional certification related to foundation or classification
Manufactured homes are regulated, financed, and evaluated differently than site-built homes. Proper inspection and documentation matter.
Manufactured (Mobile) Home Inspections
A manufactured home inspection is a non-invasive visual evaluation of the home’s condition, with specific attention to components unique to manufactured construction.
​
Inspections commonly address:
-
Structural components visible at the time of inspection
-
Roofing, exterior walls, skirting, and drainage
-
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems
-
Interior components and safety concerns
-
Site conditions that may affect the home
Findings are documented clearly to support informed decisions by buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals.

Manufactured Home Engineering Certifications
Certain loans require certification that a manufactured home meets specific foundation and installation criteria.
​
Engineering certifications may be required to:
-
Classify the home as real property
-
Satisfy FHA, VA, or conventional lender requirements
-
Support refinancing or resale
Engineering certifications are separate from inspections and are provided when applicable based on the property and loan requirements.
​
We provide this service as part of a manufacture home inspection or as a stand alone service.

What to Expect When Scheduling Manufactured Home Services
Manufactured home services are often driven by lender or transaction requirements, and clarity up front helps prevent delays later.
After a brief intake to understand the property and financing needs, services are scheduled to match what is actually required — no more and no less. When multiple services are needed, they are coordinated whenever possible to minimize additional appointments.
Following the inspection or evaluation, you’ll receive clear documentation aligned with lender and transaction requirements, along with straightforward guidance if additional steps are needed.

Manufactured Homes vs. Mobile Homes — What’s the Difference?
The term mobile home is commonly used to describe factory-built housing. Homes built after 1976 are more accurately referred to as manufactured homes and are constructed to HUD standards.
Lenders and agencies may use the terms interchangeably, but documentation requirements still apply regardless of terminology. Our services are aligned with current standards while accommodating how buyers and homeowners commonly refer to these properties.

​
Clients value a calm, straightforward process that keeps transactions moving and avoids unnecessary rework or confusion.
