HUD/FHA PFGMH Foundation Certification Inspections

What’s Hiding Under Your House

At Fancy Fox Property Inspections, in partnership with Noble Engineering Services, we provide the official HUD Foundation Certification required to meet the Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing (PFGMH).

To issue this certificate, our expert team visually assesses your mobile home’s foundation to determine if it is properly attached, sound, and fully supported according to HUD compliance standards.

We offer customized HUD Foundation Certifications tailored for your specific financing needs, whether it’s VA, FHA, or Conventional financing. Our extensive partnerships with multiple reputable engineering firms ensure that we can deliver these services, typically from start to finish, in less than 72 hours!

Why can’t my regular home inspector do this? Unfortunately, standard home inspections do not cover the engineering requirements for HUD/FHA loans. Instead, the government requires a specific Permanent Foundation Certification that a licensed Professional Engineer must stamp. Consequently, we handle this entire engineering partnership for you so you don’t have to worry.

How fast can I get the report? We know that these requests often pop up just days before closing. Therefore, we prioritize speed for every client. In most cases, we can deliver the signed, stamped engineer’s report within 72 hours of the site visit.

What if the foundation fails? If the engineer determines the home does not meet PFGMH standards, they will provide a “cure plan.” This plan details exactly what repairs are needed, such as adding straps or bracing. Subsequently, once you make those repairs, we can re-inspect to issue the final certificate.
