We specialize in manufactured and mobile homes, delivering focused inspections and compliance certificates—not generic checklists.

What’s Included in Your Mobile or Manufactured Home Inspection

Manufactured homes have unique structures and support systems. Our inspections go beyond surface-level checks to evaluate every visible and accessible component that impacts safety, performance, and lender compliance.

We typically inspect:

Frame, piers, and supports
Tie-downs and anchoring system
Skirting, vents, and crawlspace access
Underbelly and insulation (where visible)
Roof covering and visible structure
Exterior siding, doors, and windows
Interior walls, ceilings, and floors
Visible plumbing, electrical, and HVAC connections
Additions, porches, or decks (where attached)
Grading, drainage, and site conditions

Every inspection is performed by a licensed Texas home inspector and, when required, coordinated with an engineer for HUD/FHA certification.

WHY MOBILE HOME INSPECTIONS MATTER IN EAST TEXAS

East Texas soils, humidity, and weather can take a toll on manufactured homes over time. Local clay soils shift easily, high humidity can affect underbellies and insulation, and aging tie-downs may compromise stability.

Common regional issues we identify include:

Soil movement leading to uneven piers and settling
Moisture and ventilation problems under the home
Loose or deteriorated anchors reducing wind resistance
Improper additions attached to the home structure

That’s why it’s crucial to have a professional, East Texas-based inspector who understands manufactured housing systems and HUD requirements.

Proper certification ensures that manufactured home foundations and additions—like porches and decks—meet safety and lending requirements.

Permanent Foundation and Addition Certificates for Financing

If you’re purchasing, refinancing, or selling a manufactured home, your lender may require a HUD-compliant foundation certification or an addition/porch certificate before closing.

Palmer Inspections coordinates directly with licensed engineers to provide the documentation you need—fast and accurately.

We offer:

Permanent foundation compliance letters (HUD/FHA standards)
Addition, porch, and deck assessments for lender approval
Fast coordination and turnaround—typically within 24 hours

We handle the coordination between inspection and engineering, so you don’t have to.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He did a great job! My buyers were from out of town, and he made the whole inspection process so easy for them. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything perfectly and answer all of their questions. They felt so much better about everything after talking with him. He was also super easy to work with and very responsive. I will definitely be recommending him to my future buyers!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience with Palmer Inspections. They were able to schedule my inspection within just two to three business days, and their responsiveness afterward was exceptional. The seller had several follow‑up questions, and the inspector went above and beyond by taking the time to speak with him later in the evening — after getting his kids to bed — which speaks volumes about their dedication and customer service.The inspection itself was thorough, detailed, and professionally handled from start to finish. The inspector was respectful, knowledgeable, and clearly committed to doing the job right.

Palmer Inspections is truly a great company to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, responsive, and professional inspection services.

I would highly recommend going to Kyle for his services for anyone looking to become a home owner. He showed up on time, was professional with everything, found and pointed out things we did not even see, and responds and answers any question quickly. Because of Palmer Inspections we feel at ease and stress free knowing that all possible worries and problems with the house were put to rest. So we will be able to move in knowing how to prevent future problems thanks to his advice and directions. I would love to have your services again if I ever move again in the future. Thank you again and God Bless.
