"The home inspector had completed the report for previous buyers that backed out. We hired him to recheck the property to see if issues were repaired as the homeowners told us they did repair most things on his report. Victor was very thorough in his report and the walk through. He had the report ready 10 minutes after the walkthrough. With his report we will be able to go back to the sellers and ask for a few more repairs. He also gave us a new home owner guide which has a lot of useful information for this older home that we can use a reference. I will use victor again in the future for mold inspections or home inspections!"

Most areas require both a building permit and an electrical permit for the installation of a home wind turbine. You may also need zoning approval, especially if your property is in a residential neighborhood or near protected land. Inspections are needed after foundation work and upon completion of electrical connections. Permit costs can range from $100 to $1,000, depending on local regulations and project complexity.
Consider an annual inspection conducted by a local plumber to prevent dangerous and destructive leaks. If you recently moved into an older home or are concerned about the age of your gas lines, call an inspector for a closer look. You may also be required to call an inspector after your contractor installs a new line for an appliance.
Gaps in new construction are common and typically not a cause for concern. New homes experience settling during the first one to two years as the foundation adjusts and building materials acclimate. Monitor gaps during this period and address them once settling stabilizes to avoid repeated 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.
Yes, you can negotiate repairs after a home inspection. You can talk to the homeowner about either completing any repairs or deducting the cost of those repairs from the price of the home.
