Ensure Your Home Add-On Meets FHA, HUD, and State Standards

Additions Inspection for Manufactured Homes

Adding a porch, deck, carport, or sunroom to your manufactured home is a great way to improve your lifestyle and property value, but it can also trigger major headaches if it’s not done right. Many homeowners don’t realize that additions must meet specific structural and safety requirements, especially if you plan to refinance, sell, or use government-backed lending like FHA or VA loans.

Your lender may require that a licensed professional engineer inspect these additions to ensure that they are safe to occupy and that they are not built in such a way that they are damaging the manufactured home.

Don’t Let a Failed Inspection Derail Your Financing

Here’s the reality: Most manufactured home additions are built without knowing the full set of HUD, FHA, or North Carolina state code requirements. Even small structures like attached awnings or screen porches can unintentionally compromise the safety and compliance of the entire home.

If an addition transfers weight onto the manufactured home’s frame—or wasn’t built to withstand wind and snow loads—it could disqualify your home from financing, raise red flags during an appraisal, or even put your family at risk.

Without a professional inspection, there’s no way to be sure your addition is compliant.

Travis and the team at Person Engineering were a pleasure to work with. They were fast to respond to all our inquiries and got the inspection we needed done in less time than they originally quoted us. Their attentive service kept us on track to complete our project on time. I called several engineers before choosing Person and their rates were very competitive. I recommend them highly and would gladly work with them again.

What Types of Home Additions Need Inspection?

At Person Engineering, we provide specialized additions inspections for manufactured homes throughout North Carolina. Whether you’ve just added a new structure or are purchasing a home that already has one, our inspections help ensure everything meets state and federal codes.

We inspect common additions including:

  • Attached decks, porches, and patios

  • Carports and garages

  • Sunrooms and enclosed porches

  • Roof-overs and extended eaves

  • Covered entries or stairs

As licensed engineers experienced in HUD standards, we evaluate:

  1. Structural independence (Is the addition self-supporting?)

  2. Connection methods (Is the home’s structural integrity maintained?)

  3. Foundation and footing requirements

  4. Wind, snow, and live load compliance

  5. Permits and construction documentation

If the addition meets all relevant standards, we’ll provide a sealed inspection letter that satisfies lender and underwriter requirements. If repairs or changes are needed, we’ll clearly outline what must be addressed to bring it into compliance.

When you schedule a foundation inspection for your manufactured home, it will automatically include the additions inspection at no extra cost to you.

Why It Matters

Manufactured homes are federally regulated—and any changes made to them must not interfere with their original structural design. That’s why banks, lenders, and inspectors look closely at any additions.

An additions inspection gives you:

  • Peace of mind that your structure is safe

  • Confidence during a refinance or resale

  • A clear path forward if issues are found

  • The documentation you need for FHA, VA, or USDA loans
