Manufactured Home Inspection in Gilbert and the East Valley

Different construction. Same standard of care.

01 / A different kind of house

Manufactured homes are built to a federal code. The inspection should know the difference.

A manufactured home inspection is a home inspection for a factory-built home. HUD says manufactured homes built after June 15, 1976 must be certified by the manufacturer, with a red certification label, often called a HUD tag, on the exterior of each transportable section.

It covers everything our home inspection covers, plus the crawlspace underneath. We inspect older mobile homes built before June 1976 too. Our in-house team is led by Konnor Kirkwood (Arizona BTR #72416). One thing it isn't: a foundation certification from an engineer. Some loans require that separately.

The paperwork matters here

Manufactured homes come with labels, plates and loan requirements that site-built homes don't.

  • A

    Look for the HUD labels. HUD says each transportable section of a post-1976 manufactured home should carry a red certification label on the exterior.

  • B

    Check the data plate zones. HUD says the data plate zone maps show the wind, thermal and roof load zones the home was built for.

  • C

    Foundation certification is separate. FHA-insured loans on manufactured homes have required a foundation certification from a licensed professional engineer or registered architect. That's not a home inspection. Ask your lender what yours needs.

  • D

    Ask about changes. Additions, carports and decks built on or against the home are worth asking about. Ask the seller for permits.

  • E

    Know the land situation. Owned land and a leased lot in a community are different purchases. Your agent can walk you through it.

05 / Questions

Before you book

The questions buyers ask us most about manufactured homes. Anything else, just call.

Is a manufactured home inspection the same as a foundation certification?

No. A foundation certification comes from a licensed professional engineer or registered architect and is a separate document. FHA-insured loans on manufactured homes have required one. Our inspection is a home inspection, not a certification. Ask your lender what your loan needs.

What is the HUD Code?

It's the federal construction and safety standard for manufactured homes. HUD says homes built after June 15, 1976 must be certified by the manufacturer and carry a certification label on each transportable section.

Where is the HUD label?

HUD says the red certification label is on the exterior of each transportable section of the home.

Do you inspect older mobile homes built before 1976?

Yes. We inspect mobile homes built before June 15, 1976 too.

How much does a manufactured home inspection cost?

Manufactured home inspections start at $447. The price depends on the size of the home. You'll know the price before anything is scheduled.

Is it different from a regular home inspection?

It covers everything our home inspection covers, plus the crawlspace underneath the home.

Buy it knowing.

Book a manufactured home inspection and tell us the home's approximate age.
