Licensed PE - NC Firm P-3406Reports in 1-25.0 on Google (13)

Built for underwriter questions

We document the items lenders and closing teams need to see, including visible supports, anchorage, connections, and foundation configuration.

Independent engineering opinion

Our firm evaluates the property without selling foundation repair or installation work. The certification is based on what the PE observes on site.

Photos and measurements included

The sealed deliverable gives your lender a clear record of the observed conditions instead of a vague pass-or-fail note.

Repair and re-inspection path

When a condition needs attention, we explain the next step and can verify completed work before the certification is finalized.

When to Call Us

Durham County manufactured homes range from older rural installations to newer communities with varied support and tie-down details. That variation is why a useful certification must be property-specific. We inspect the actual foundation system, compare the visible conditions to lender and HUD requirements, and identify missing documentation or work before it becomes a last-minute closing problem.

Common signs and scenarios

  • A Durham lender requested an FHA, VA, USDA, or permanent-foundation letter
  • Underwriting needs photos or measurements of the piers and tie-downs
  • The foundation was altered, repaired, or installed without a prior certification
  • Your closing team needs an independent PE rather than a contractor opinion
  • You need a re-inspection after correcting anchorage or support conditions
  • The property is in Durham, Bahama, Rougemont, or nearby Durham County communities

Frequently Asked

Yes. Older homes can be evaluated, but the required documentation and visible conditions vary by installation. We review the home and foundation as found, note limitations, and explain what additional evidence or corrective work may be needed.

Send the property address, lender checklist or form, closing date, manufactured-home data if available, and any prior foundation or engineering documents. This helps us plan the field review around the lender's actual requirements.

We confirm timing after reviewing the property details and deadline. Most visits are scheduled within a few business days, while the final certification depends on the observed conditions and whether any follow-up is required.

This service focuses on the permanent foundation system and its connection to the manufactured home. We do not replace a general home inspection or certify unrelated building systems.
