Customers say: Quality work

"Excellent Home Appraisal Experience! Review: I recently had the pleasure of working with a fantastic home appraisal service for a home in Diamond Bar, CA. From start to finish, the team was professional, thorough, and provided exceptional service. Being on another coast, choosing an Appraiser was daunting. The final appraisal report was comprehensive and well-documented, providing me with a clear understanding of my home's value. Not only did the appraisal process go smoothly, but the team also demonstrated excellent communication skills. I highly recommend this home appraisal service for anyone in need of a reliable and professional assessment of their property. Their expertise and attention to detail truly set them apart. Thank you to the entire appraisal team for their outstanding service. Kind regards, Brody D"

"This was an appraisal of a older condominium unit in a gated Southern California beach community for a trust administration. Unusual in that Penny did not have access to interior of the unit she had to appraise. She was very thorough in her research of the complex, and inspected a similar unit that was on the market, in addition to reviewing prior sales records and condition of the unit she appraised. Her comps were very good and it was clear that she'd done her due diligence to discern the appropriate sales, given the three different areas of buildout in the complex. She made a balanced and fair valuation of the property which was important for me to have as the Trustee, and reported on her considerations in good detail."

"Tyler with Secure Home Inspections was a flawless experience, he showed up on time, completed the inspection and provided a very easy to understand review of his inspection that covered everything I needed to know before purchasing the home! Saved my family and I from a big head ache in the future by uncovering a small problem that we were able to get fixed and paid for by the seller before moving in! If you are looking for a certified Home Inspector, Tyler is your guy!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Generally, no. Most homeowners insurance policies will not cover polybutylene pipes because they are considered defective and high-risk. Damage from these pipes, such as leaks, may not be covered as it often doesn't fall under the category of "sudden and accidental" damage. Some insurance companies may even threaten to terminate a policy if the pipes are not replaced. While you should review your personal policy for specific details, you will most likely need to pay for the pipe replacement yourself. It is advisable to prioritize repiping your home to avoid costly, uncovered water damage.

Insurance companies will often take pictures of your house to confirm property details before issuing a policy or after receiving a claim. The insurance company may keep these photos on hand to compare to later pictures if you make a claim. It’s common for an insurance company to send someone to photograph the exterior of your home and your property without notifying you in advance. However, they’ll need to let you know ahead of time if they need to take interior pictures.

A mold inspection, especially in homes with a history of water damage or high humidity, is critical for maintaining a healthy living space. Mold can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems, particularly for individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems. Unchecked mold growth can lead to structural damage, resulting in costly repairs. A thorough inspection identifies visible mold and uncovers hidden sources to allow for timely remediation, preventing further damage and health risks.

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.   

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.
