 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Services provided were for insurance-required inspections.  VERY prompt and results provided very timely.  After a month, the insurance company decided that the submitted report was on a state form that had been superseded by 1 WEEK and simply disregarded it, jumping their rates with no explanation.  After interrogating the insurance company, they admitted to reason for rate change (no apology for no communication).

Re-contacted inspector and the new form was re-submitted to insurance.  Response by inspector was  understood and immediate.

Highly recommend this inspector and company for your S Florida needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Angelo Menendez, owner and inspector with Certified Inspectors, LLC.  Mr. Menendez provided EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. Mr. Menendez  was the ONLY mold inspection company to answer the phone! I called seven (7) and sent at least five (5) text messages. Again, Mr. Menendez  was the ONLY company to respond! He answered all questions and made an appointment immediately as the matter was urgent. Mr. Menendez  also arrived early for the appointment, was  professional, serious and knowledgeable.  The mold report received was scientific, in color, quantative disaggregated by a science lab with a PhD scientist. The report was detailed, organized, biologically relevant and included graphical analysis and recommendations. Mr. Menendez  also followed up the appointment with a courteous telephone call. Extraordinary service! Also, Mr. Menendez  inspects MOBILE HOMES. This was a 1974 2/2 mobile home. Many inspectors from my understanding do not consider mobile homes worth the time. I mean the Margate Building Code Department does not even bother to regulate so thank you Mr. Menendez  for taking the time to come inspect and provide a report. I appreciate your time, courteousness and professionalism.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the third time I have used Certified Inspectors. Angelo has always been professional. We have a 700 foot seawall that needed to be inspected.  His feed back and report were very informative and easy to understand. Angelo also did our wind mitigation roof report for our 28 townhome community.  I highly recommend Certified Inspectors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Manufactured Home Inspections

What’s the difference between a mobile home, manufactured home, and modular home?

Mobile homes are factory-built homes constructed before June 1976. Manufactured homes are factory-built homes constructed after June 1976 that comply with HUD codes. Modular homes are factory-built homes constructed to local building codes and typically require a permanent foundation. All three require specialized inspection knowledge.

Will you inspect the foundation and crawl space?

Yes, foundation and underbelly inspection is a critical part of our manufactured home inspection. We assess pier placement, leveling, tie-down anchors, vapor barriers, and evidence of settling or structural movement. We access the crawl space whenever possible to inspect the frame and underside of the home.

How long does a manufactured home inspection take?

Most manufactured home inspections take 2-3 hours depending on the size (single-wide vs. double-wide), age, and accessibility. Older homes or those with extensive additions may take longer.

Do you inspect manufactured homes in mobile home parks?

Yes, we inspect manufactured homes in mobile home parks throughout South Florida. We understand the unique considerations of park living including lot rent, park rules, and home relocation potential.

Can you identify if the home meets FHA loan requirements?

While we cannot guarantee loan approval, our inspections identify common issues that may prevent FHA financing including foundation deficiencies, safety hazards, and code violations. We can provide guidance on repairs needed to meet typical lender requirements.

What are common problems in manufactured homes?

Common issues include foundation settling, floor soft spots, roof leaks, plumbing leaks, electrical safety concerns, HVAC ductwork problems, marriage line leaks (in double-wides), and deteriorated skirting or underbelly enclosure. Our inspections identify these concerns and provide repair recommendations.
