"Chris did our inspection, he is very knowledgeable and kind. He took his time to explain things to us and was able to answer all our questions. The report was done immediately, Chris sent it via PDF and asked if we wanted a printed copy to have for the new home owners. (Something we didn't even think about) We said yes, he went to his car and printed it out, put in in a very nice binder and gave it to us. Would definitely recommend this company!!"

"Devendra is very professional, responsive, calm and knowledgeable. Our project is big and we had to do many changes in the house. Devendra completely understood our requirements and came up with all the needed plans like structural, plumbing, electrical, etc in a very quick turn around. He maintained a very good communication with me and my contractor while the project is ongoing. He did a very good co-ordination with the Fremont city building approval team and able to get the permit approved on time. He even took care of a special requirement that came up in our case that mandated a special inspection on removing the load bearing wall. It was a pleasure working with Devendra and I would highly recommend him as an architect for any home building/remodeling projects."

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, egress windows must meet local building codes for size and accessibility. Professional installers ensure compliance.

For most homeowners, a plumbing inspection costs $100 to $500. It depends on the location, the type of inspection, and the size of your home. A simple visual inspection will cost up to $200, while a camera inspection that checks your underground sewer lines can cost more than $1,000. Nonetheless, this may still be a better option than tearing up your underground plumbing to find the problem.

There are no strict rules for who is responsible for covering repair costs after a home inspection, as the issue is highly negotiable, except in cases of mandatory repairs. Major issues discovered during the inspection often lead to a renegotiation. The buyer might ask the seller to make the repairs as a condition of the sale, but it is more common for the buyer to use the estimated repair costs as leverage to lower the asking price. The seller may agree to lower the price to compensate the buyer or agree to fix the issues before the sale is complete. However, in a competitive real estate market, a seller might refuse to cover any repairs, knowing that other buyers may be willing to purchase the property as-is.

While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for measuring humidity, you can gauge the levels in your home using simpler methods that provide rough estimations. One way is to observe physical clues. Signs of high humidity include mold growth, condensation on windows, or feeling sticky and clammy indoors. Conversely, dry skin or dry furniture can indicate that the humidity is too low. You can also try DIY tests, such as the ice cube test, using two different thermometers, or the “hair method,” which involves placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours—if the hair becomes limp, humidity is likely high.

Yes, in most cases, you can back out of your offer if you’re unsatisfied with something in the inspection. However, there is usually no recourse for doing so. The only exception would be if you waived the home inspection, a somewhat common practice to get your offer accepted in a highly competitive market. Waiving the home inspection doesn’t prevent you from getting an inspection, but you usually can’t walk away from the home after the inspection if there’s something wrong.
