Two kinds of homes. One level approach.

Whether your home is site-built or manufactured, we help you understand its condition and feel prepared for buying or caring for it.

Foundation certification.
One less thing between you and closing.

If your lender has asked for a manufactured home foundation certification, we can help you take the next step. We coordinate the site visit and professional engineer’s review, so you have one contact from start to finish. Certification starts at $350 on its own, or $299 added to your manufactured home inspection.
