About our Mobile Home Inspection Process
Manufactured Home Inspection is a family-owned business with more than 30 years of experience in the mobile home and manufactured home industry. Our company was built on decades of hands-on expertise in manufactured home inspection, mobile home repair, and manufactured home construction. Our leadership holds a California C-47 specialty license, allowing us to specialize in mobile home and manufactured home repairs, as well as a B General Contractor license, which authorizes work on single-family residences.
Our team has worked in this industry for generations, developing long-standing relationships with respected mobile home dealers throughout Southern California, including Monarch, Advantage, OC Mobile Homes, Wallace Homes, Blue Carpet, Sunrise, Strictly Mobiles, Heritage, and J&R. Our manufactured home inspection business has remained successful because we operate with honesty, objectivity, and accountability. Every manufactured home inspection is approached with the same level of care and scrutiny we would expect for our own family.
Our extensive manufactured home inspection typically takes between one hour and one and a half hours. The inspection begins on the exterior of the manufactured home, where we evaluate the siding, skirting, windows, driveways, awnings, sheds, electrical outlets, exterior lighting, utilities, water heater enclosure, furnace, air conditioning system, gutters, downspouts, roof, vents, porches, steps, and doors.
We then move inside the mobile home to inspect all plumbing systems, faucets, drains, electrical outlets, lighting, appliances, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical panels, showers, bathtubs, and flooring materials.
Once the interior and exterior inspections are complete, we perform a crawl space, or undercarriage inspection. This is a critical part of any mobile home inspection. During this phase, we inspect the belly board and insulation, rusted, missing, or cracked piers, improper electrical installations, plumbing leaks, ductwork, dryer vent connections, axles, earthquake bracing, vapor barriers, tie-downs, and marriage piers.
After your manufactured home inspection is completed, we email you 20 to 40 detailed photos documenting our findings. Each photo includes a clear explanation of the issue and how it relates to Title 25 health and safety coderequirements. Within 24 to 48 hours, you will receive a comprehensive nine-page inspection report that documents every aspect of the inspection in detail.
With this report in hand, buyers and sellers can confidently enter negotiations to determine how required mobile home repairs will be addressed prior to closing. When all factors are considered, a flat inspection fee of $200 is a small investment for such a thorough, objective, and professional manufactured home inspection.
