Q: How should you prepare for a pre-drywall inspection?

• <div><p>To prepare for a pre-drywall inspection, make sure to schedule the inspection before your drywall (and preferably insulation) is installed, but after all ductwork, plumbing, electrical wiring, and framing are in. You should also print a copy of your floor plan for your inspector, which they&rsquo;ll use to make sure the build matches up. Lastly, try to clear the home of major obstacles (tools, large stacks of material, etc.) to allow the inspector access to the places they need to check.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover shower pan leaks?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance may cover shower pan leaks, but it depends on the type of coverage you&rsquo;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&rsquo;t be covered by your policy. If your shower pan leak causes water damage, chances are your standard policy&mdash;if it includes water damage&mdash;will cover the repair.</p></div>

Q: Does a house have to pass inspection to be sold?

• <div><p>In most cases, no. The purpose of an inspection is to highlight any glaring issues with the property that the buyer might use to negotiate or want to rectify after closing, but there&rsquo;s no law stating the inspection must pass. A buyer can accept any problems identified during a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/things-fail-home-inspection.htm">failed home inspection</a>. The only exception would be lender-required repairs, which could hold up the mortgage.</p></div>

Q: How to know if a contractor is overcharging?

• <div><p>To determine if you&rsquo;re being overcharged, request an itemized price breakdown of the project. Check for hidden fees or project expenses, from parts to labor, that are clearly overpriced. However, the easiest way to know if a contractor is overcharging you is by getting an estimate for the same project from another professional. Negotiating with a contractor if you have another bid for a lower price is possible.</p></div>

Q: Are home improvement loan rates better during certain times of the year?

• <div><p>No, home improvement loan rates typically do not drop during certain times of the year. Interest rates go up and down based on economic conditions rather than on the time of the year. Some banks may offer slight rate discounts around the same holidays every year, but this is a marketing decision rather than a decision based on the time of the year. If you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-home-improvement-loans-work.htm">use a home improvement loan</a> to fund your remodeling project, the best option is to shop around at different banks for the best rates.</p></div>

Our kitchen used to feel dark, cramped, and totally out of sync with how we live. We finally decided it was time for a change, and that’s when Zamir and his team came in. Day by day, we watched our old kitchen transform into a bright, open space that actually works for our family. The new open...

Unsuccessful in catching that actual raccoon unfortunately but gentlemen was prompt, responsive and on top of it. Came back and sprayed coyote urine as another measure to detour the animal. Hasn’t been back since.
