Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between manufactured and mobile homes?

Manufactured homes are built after June 15, 1976, and must comply with HUD code. Mobile homes were built before this date. Both are factory-built, but manufactured homes meet stricter federal standards for safety, construction, and energy efficiency.

Do you inspect the chassis and frame?

Yes, we inspect all accessible portions of the steel chassis, I-beams, outriggers, and frame. This is crucial for manufactured homes as the chassis is the structural foundation of the entire home.

What is a HUD data plate and why is it important?

The HUD data plate (also called certification label) is required for all manufactured homes built after 1976. It certifies the home was built to HUD standards and is essential for financing, insurance, and legal documentation.

How do you inspect double-wide marriage walls?

We examine the marriage wall (center connection) for proper sealing, structural integrity, gaps, water damage, and overall connection quality. This is a critical area where two sections join together.

Are manufactured homes safe in Minnesota weather?

Yes, when properly anchored and maintained. We verify tie-down systems, wind zone compliance, and weatherization. Modern manufactured homes are engineered for various climate zones including Minnesota's cold winters.

Can you identify if modifications violate HUD standards?

Yes, we identify common non-compliant modifications such as removed axles, altered structural components, and unpermitted additions that may affect the home's certification and insurability.
