"The vision that my contractor Amir had for my home was exactly what I envisioned. My home that was run down now its a luxury home. All my neighbors are coming over and telling me how beautiful my house looks. I am beyond excited and happy about how the house looks now. My son says he feels like he is on vacation. Thank you Brent Silver Construction for making all my dreams come true."

"We were remodeling our home and before we finished wanted to have Scout out to inspect and make sure we were safe to close the walls. She not only flagged two areas that we were able to immediately fix but she also saved us so much stress and money down the road. Thank you to her and her wonderful handler."

"This is our second time using this company, both times the appraiser was fantastic, but in this instance Lisa, their Director of Customer Service seriously bent over backward to help us out with the home one of our clients is purchasing. She was amazing and pulled off the impossible, getting an appraiser out to inspect the home the following day and making certain that everything was covered. Amazing customer service, very thorough and helpful technical staff, quick turnaround on the report and just plain a great company all around. We could not have been more pleased with all that they did for us and our client."

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn’t open (or you’re not sure if it is or not), don’t start a fire to find out!

You can guarantee that you hire a professional home inspector by reviewing their qualifications, years of experience, customer reviews, and certifications before hiring. If you’re working with a realtor, they can recommend at least one trusted professional home inspector. You can always confirm the credentials of a home inspector by checking for affiliations with organizations like the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors or the American Society of Home Inspectors. 

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.

Homeowners insurance may cover shower pan leaks, but it depends on the type of coverage you’re looking for. Typically, home insurance policies cover sudden or accidental water damage, for example, if it comes from a busted pipe or malfunctioning appliance. Damage to a shower pan is usually gradual. A repair or replacement of your shower pan usually won’t be covered by your policy. If your shower pan leak causes water damage, chances are your standard policy—if it includes water damage—will cover the repair.
