Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

It’s a good idea to be present for a home inspection so the inspector has access to anything they need for the inspection and so you can ask the home inspector questions if necessary. You don’t need to shadow the inspector while they’re conducting the inspection—in fact, it’s better if you don’t—but don’t go too far in case they need access to something or have any questions.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

The best way to check if a roofing company is legit is by asking the roofer for their license number. They should have no issue providing you with this information if they’re legitimate. You can also look to see if they have an online presence, read reviews, and ask contractors you’ve worked with before if they know the roofing company.

While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for measuring humidity levels in the home, you can gauge humidity levels using simpler methods. One way is by observing signs like condensation on windows or feeling excessively sticky or clammy indoors, indicating higher humidity. Another DIY approach involves the “hair method”—aka placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours. If the hair becomes limp, it's likely due to high humidity. These methods offer rough estimations, but lack the precision of a hygrometer for accurate readings.

Solar panel inspection costs range between $150 and $350. The system's location can increase the cost, with roof-mounted panels being among the more expensive systems to inspect. Larger systems also cost more because of the time it takes to complete the inspection. Other factors affecting the price include the inverter type, objects around the system, and add-ons you purchase along with the inspection.
