When a case turns on how a manufactured home was built, damaged or repaired, you need an expert who has actually done the work. Owner Tim Mesic provides credible, plain-spoken testimony for attorneys, insurers and courts across Arizona.
Manufactured and mobile homes are not built like site-built houses, and they don't fail like them either. The chassis, the belly board, the anchoring, the HUD-code materials and the factory assembly process all follow their own rules — and most experts simply don't know them. When a dispute lands in front of an adjuster, an attorney or a jury, the difference between a strong case and a weak one is often whether the expert truly understands how these homes go together.
Before founding Mesic Contracting in 1992, owner Tim Mesic worked in a factory that built more than 10,000 manufactured homes — he has literally been on the line where these houses are made. In the decades since, he has helped more than 20,000 homeowners, performs insurance restoration nearly every day, and trains insurance adjusters on manufactured-home materials and construction. That is a rare combination: factory-floor knowledge, decades of hands-on field repair, and the ability to explain it all in language a courtroom can follow.
Whether you are defending a claim, pursuing one, or trying to get to the truth of what really happened to a home, Tim can review the file, inspect the property, document his findings and stand behind them under oath.
Generalist inspectors and site-built contractors routinely miss what matters on a manufactured home. Wind damage hides under the roof coating. Water travels along the steel frame and rots the belly from the inside out. A leveling failure that looks cosmetic can point to an underlying foundation or anchoring problem. Get the causation wrong and the entire claim — or the entire case — is built on sand.
Tim's testimony carries weight precisely because it comes from a lifetime of hands-on work rather than a textbook. He can tell you whether a repair met HUD standards, whether damage was pre-existing or storm-related, whether construction met the manufacturer's specifications, and what a proper, code-compliant repair actually requires. His findings are fact-based and consistent — the same conclusions whether he is retained by the insurer, the homeowner or an attorney.
We review the claim file, photos, prior reports and repair records, then inspect the home in person — including the roof, underbelly and structure — to see exactly what happened and how it was built.
Tim analyzes construction quality, damage causation, code compliance and repair standards, then delivers a clear, documented written report with supporting photos that stands up to scrutiny.
When the case calls for it, Tim provides deposition and courtroom testimony and remains available to counsel — explaining manufactured-home construction in plain, credible language.
We consult on insurance and legal disputes involving manufactured, modular, mobile and park model homes — construction-quality complaints, storm and water damage causation, fire loss scope, foundation and leveling failures, HUD code-compliance issues, and disagreements over what a proper repair should look like. If it involves how a manufactured home was built, damaged or repaired, it's in Tim's wheelhouse.
Yes. Tim prepares clear, well-documented written expert reports supported by photos, and he is available for depositions and courtroom testimony. His strength is translating technical manufactured-home construction and code into plain language that judges, juries and adjusters can actually follow.
Yes. Because roughly 80% of our daily work is insurance restoration and Tim trains insurance adjusters, we understand both sides of a claim intimately. We consult for insurers, defense and plaintiff attorneys, and homeowners alike — and the findings are based on the facts of the home, not on who retained us.
Before founding Mesic Contracting in 1992, Tim worked in a factory that built more than 10,000 manufactured homes. Since then he has helped more than 20,000 homeowners, performs insurance restoration daily, and trains insurance adjusters on manufactured-home materials and construction. Mesic Contracting is licensed, insured and bonded, ROC# 264936. Few experts bring both factory-floor and decades of field-repair experience to a case.
