Manufactured homes, also referred to as
mobile homes, are some of the fastest
growing types of homes being built in the
country today. There are over 15 million
Manufactured Homes in the US, and the
total number is growing by nearly a half a
million each year.
Mobile/manufactured housing must be
inspected differently than traditional
site-built housing because they are built to HUD regulations which affects the design and construction methods.
Most home inspectors are not
qualified to recognize and report on the differences between manufactured homes compared to other types of construction.
Steel City is PHII Certified in manufactured home inspections. Some important points that are inspected include the non-removable chassis, bracing and support systems, wind / load / thermal zone ratings, roofing, skirting and under wrap. I also check the HUD Manufactured Home Construction & Safety
Standards, and the regulations for electrical,
gas, water and sewer hookups.
When you hire Steel City to perform a
manufactured home inspection you can rest
assure that you are hiring a well-trained
certified inspector that knows the
manufactured home inside and out.
