Manufactured Home Permanent Foundation Certification

HUD-compliant foundation certifications required by lenders for FHA, VA, and conventional financing on manufactured homes. Fast turnaround — reports delivered in 2–3 days.

What Is a Permanent Foundation Certification?

When purchasing or refinancing a manufactured home with FHA, VA, or conventional financing, lenders require a licensed inspector to certify that the home's foundation meets HUD's Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing (PFGMH). Cypress Inspection of SWFL is a registered field inspector with Manufactured Home Certifications, PLLC — a national network dedicated exclusively to foundation and addition certifications for manufactured homes. We evaluate the foundation system and deliver professional reports with turnaround times of 2–3 days.
