"William Bernos did a thorough inspection of our home, explained the services AFS can provide, and decided that the repair (replacing the footing under a garage center post) should be referred to a general contractor."

"Want to go on record to say that service was excellent from initial contact and a thorough timely evaluation and appraisal with supporting documentation. I found the work to be very professional and was done in an expedient fashion. Company was very transparent in pricing and I found their actual pricepoint to be more than fair for the final rendered report. That said, I would gladly use this company again if I had the need."

"Been dealing with a mold issue with my apartment complex, who has not been very helpful regarding the situation at all. Went online to find a 3rd party inspector. Filled out an online form to try to be connected with mold experts in area. One ended up contacting me and getting information regarding the issue, but never contacted me back (most likely due to it being a apartment). Another mold expert (Mark himself) contacted me, and informed me he can come by the next day to do a free inspection. He worked with me to schedule a time that was flexible to my schedule. He was super communicative, shooting me a text to confirm our appointment, to even giving me a call right before heading over. I also found it amazing that he was more than willing to travel over an hour just to provide an inspection to my apartment in Biloxi. During the inspection visit, I asked him to provide a test in order to confirm his visual inspection of mold (just to have proof to provide to my complex). On top of doing the test, he provided me with a discounted price on top of what already was a reasonable price (based off of the prices of the other mold testers)! I did not think he needed to do this at all, especially with the distance driven, but I was super appreciative. This showed how he truly cares for his clients best interests! His great service did not stop there. He typed up an amazing email to document his findings and to draw attention to the serious matter, which then he provided to my complex on my behalf. He has since remained in communication with me to show his support and help see this issue through. I donâ t write reviews often, only when I believe them to be well deserved and in this case it most definitely is! Recommend his service to any and everyone!"

"Liberty did a fantastic job addressing the leaking roof of our 100+ year old craftsman cottage. I had anticipated a full replacement of its 15 year old metal roof, but on inspecting the existing installation, Liberty recommended a reconditioning plan that allowed us to utilize the remaining life of the existing metal. The work was executed Professionally, quickly, safely, and quietly at a fraction of the cost of a new roof."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Depending on your state, a home inspector may need a license. All states and the District of Columbia require home inspectors to undergo training. However, some states (such as New York, Texas, Washington, and Illinois) require state-issued licenses while others (including California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) do not.

Other professional certifications include the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) certification, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) certification, and the National Home Inspector Examination. Inspectors can also receive certifications in specialized areas. These can include structural specialties, like chimneys, swimming pools, or septic systems, as well as specific issues like mold, pests, or radon gas. Whatever your situation, make sure your home inspector is certified to handle it.

The unseen issues with a home are often the ones that turn out to be the most stressful. While inspections aren’t a legal requirement, they can highlight significant issues, such as damaged foundations, excessive mold, leaky basements, or problematic plumbing. These can cost thousands of dollars to repair, and the work can be invasive.

Knowing these things that fail a home inspection in advance allows you to decide if you want to proceed with the purchase. The seller may even cut back the sale price to help cover any renovation expenses or take care of them before closing.

Knowing what to expect during a mold inspection can help make the process easier. Prepare by closing doors and windows for 48 hours, turning off HVAC systems for at least two hours, and avoiding disinfectant chemicals for at least 48 hours. 

The mold inspection process takes between 24 and 48 hours. Your professional will check walls, fireplaces, air ducts, vents, and windows for visible spores. They will also take an outdoor base air sample. Your pro will send these samples to a lab for testing and advise you on the findings.

The cost of a home inspection varies depending on several factors. On average, you can expect to pay between $280 and $400, with a typical cost around $350. However, the full price range can be anywhere from approximately $187 to $510. The final cost is influenced by the home's size, age, condition, and location, as well as the inspector's experience and the depth of the inspection. Larger homes (e.g., over 2,000 square feet) and older homes typically cost more to inspect, as they may require checking for issues like structural deterioration or asbestos. The price may also increase if you need specialized services, such as asbestos testing, thermal imaging to detect infestations, or detailed checks for energy efficiency, structural integrity, or electrical problems. In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection. While it is an upfront cost, a thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.

Beyond having an inspection, it’s important to do chimney maintenance at least annually to be certain the chimney is safe to use. Cleaning the flue of any built-up particles, creosote, and soot reduces the risk of fire. Fortunately, the cost of hiring a pro to do a chimney inspection often includes a chimney cleaning, so you may not have an extra expense for maintenance.
