MARQUETTE — U.P. Home Inspection LLC, a full-service home inspection company in Marquette, MI, is proud to announce that they are now working in collaboration with MFD Home Certifications LLC, to provide foundation/addition certifications to MFD home buyers, sellers, realtors, and lenders across the central and western Upper Peninsula.

InterNACHI certified home inspector Rich Beasley, owner of U.P. Home Inspection LLC, MI, received his certification through MFD Home Certifications LLC in January as a Registered Field Inspector of manufactured home foundation and additions. MFD Home Certifications LLC is a Michigan engineering firm that specializes in certifying manufactured (MFD) homes to meet federal standards.

Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards are a federally mandated set of requirements for constructing, designing and installing MFD homes. These standards were established to assure the durability, quality, safety, and affordability of these properties. The stringent standards apply to all MFD homes produced after June 15, 1976, and must be adhered to when buying or selling such a property.

When buying or facilitating the purchase of a manufactured home (MFD home), a foundation/addition certification is required to secure lending through HUD (housing and urban development). Because this statute prohibits buying, selling, or leasing MFD homes that do not meet the standards, HUD foundation certification is an essential step in the MFD home buying process. Without this certification, criminal penalties for violations of the statute may apply.

U.P. Home Inspection, LLC is a full-service home inspection company in Marquette, MI owned by home inspector Rich Beasley. Rich is certified through the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI). He holds over a dozen specialty certifications, including Mold Inspector, Radon Tester, Water Quality Tester, Indoor Air Consultant, and many more. U.P. Home Inspection, LLC services residential and commercial properties throughout most of the central and western U.P.
