Manufactured homes are built differently — and they deserve an inspector who knows what to look for, from the roof to the piers underneath.
Manufactured and mobile homes are built in a factory, transported to the site, and set on a support system of piers, blocks, or a foundation. That construction method comes with its own set of common problem areas — from roof seams and skirting to support piers, tie-downs, and moisture underneath the home.
A manufactured home inspection is a thorough visual inspection of the home’s major systems and components, including the roof and exterior, the support system and crawlspace area, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and the interior.
Every inspection is performed personally by Darryl Willoughby, a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038) and ASHI member with 20 years of experience. You’ll get a clear walk-through and a detailed digital report with photos.
Here are the key areas Darryl evaluates on manufactured and mobile homes.
Roof covering, seams, flashing, siding, windows, and doors — common sources of leaks.
The visible support system, piers, blocks, and supports beneath the home.
Skirting, ventilation, and visible conditions under the home, including moisture concerns.
Supply and drain lines, fixtures, water heater, and visible leaks.
Service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and visible safety concerns.
Furnace, air conditioning, and ductwork — tested for operation.
Walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors — including signs of leaks or movement.
Attached decks, steps, porches, and additions built on site.
Problems in manufactured homes often start where you can’t easily see them — on the roof, at the seams, or underneath the home. Water intrusion, settling supports, and damaged skirting can lead to soft floors, leaks, and costly repairs.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply want to know the condition of the home you own, an inspection gives you the facts so you can negotiate, plan repairs, or move forward with confidence.
Darryl brings the same thoroughness to every home he inspects — site-built or manufactured — and explains everything he finds in plain language.
