"Victor was helpful from first contact. I needed to get a home inspection for my client and we were on a short timeline. We scheduled it for the prior day but my client requested the inspection be done within two hours of first contact. He flexed his schedule and was able to accommodate our needs. He was extremely thorough and delivered a comprehensive report within 15 minutes of having completed the inspection. I would recommend him and will reach out to him again in the future."
"The team was respectful of my property and worked diligently to ensure that the project was completed within the timeframe and budget we had discussed."
"The technician was very sweet and made us feel comfortable throughout the inspection. He was very knowledgeable in mold. He helped us understand the different types of mold and the possible causes. We would highly recommend them!!"
"Although Johnâ s company is 120 miles away from my place, he was able to provide me a very good engineering service for a good size job of opening up four rooms into a huge great room environment. He has many years of engineering experience in wide range of complex jobs with high quality of interaction with customer without much of delay. He is my go to engineer for my next remodeling project on other property in near future. Tsbiker Hollister, CA"

Yes, an inspection contingency is likely a good idea, regardless of if you’re buying a new or older home. It can give you a set number of days to respond to objections that might have been found in the inspection so you can make an informed buying decision.
Depending on location, sellers are often legally required to disclose a home’s defects to buyers, even if the home is being sold as-is. Certain types of defects, such as asbestos, mold, previous water damage, structural issues, and other safety risks, may be required to be disclosed, so check local laws to see what needs to be disclosed and what doesn’t.
DIY is not recommended due to specialized equipment requirements. Professional services ensure accurate diagnostics.
Certified fire door inspectors should inspect fire doors. These professionals receive training to specifically assess the condition, functionality, and compliance of fire doors. They often hold credentials from groups like the Door and Hardware Institute (DHI) or the International Fire Door Inspector Association (IFDIA). While fire marshals won’t usually do hands-on inspections, they’ll check that doors are being maintained properly during routine safety audits. If a building relies on fire doors for code compliance, it needs someone who understands the details—the difference between a cosmetic issue and a safety failure—and standards to sign off with confidence.
As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property’s structure, it shouldn’t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer’s report before making a final decision.
