Q: Are manufctured homes built well?
Manufactured homes are built under tough quality control requirements in compliance with both Florida's stringent building code and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) national building code (the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards). These codes regulate and ensure everything from heating, plumbing and electrical systems to fire resistance, construction and overall strength and durability. For example: all roof joists are strapped with metal down to the walls, which in turn are strapped to floors, which are strapped to large augurs buried in the ground. These measures ensure that your home will remain intact even in the strongest storms and these rigorous standards ensure that today's manufactured homes are up to 25% stronger than most site built homes.
Q: What is a 4 Point inspection?
A Four Point Insurance Inspection is often required when obtaining a new homeowners insurance policy or renewing an existing policy. The inspection includes a limited scope evaluation of the following four systems:
- Roof Inspection
- Electrical Inspection
- HVAC (Heat, Ventilation & A/C)
- Plumbing
The focus of the 4-point insurance inspection is to determine the approximate age, components, and general condition of these systems.
*A 4PT inspection is NOT a comprehensive home inspection and can take as little as an hour to complete. This type of insurance inspection should not be confused with a full home inspection which is more comprehensive in detail and scope.
