"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."

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.
Systems should be checked every 2-3 years or whenever signs of age appear, maintaining network integrity and safety at all times.
In most cases, a roof inspection will include a visual inspection of the exterior roofing materials, an interior inspection for signs of leaking or roof damage, and an assessment of the structural stability of your roof and the materials supporting it.
Some things your roof inspector will look for include the following:
Missing or damaged shingles, flashing, or sealant
Signs of old age
Signs of leaks, including mold growth and water stains
Potential issues, like tree branches touching your roof
Signs of a loss of structural integrity
Yes, in most cases, you can back out of your offer if you’re unsatisfied with something in the inspection. However, there is usually no recourse for doing so. The only exception would be if you waived the home inspection, a somewhat common practice to get your offer accepted in a highly competitive market. Waiving the home inspection doesn’t prevent you from getting an inspection, but you usually can’t walk away from the home after the inspection if there’s something wrong.
The three main types of home inspections you should always carry out for new construction include a pre-drywall inspection, a post-drywall inspection, and a one-year inspection. The pre-drywall inspection can identify building code violations, issues with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, and structural issues. The post-drywall inspection can identify damaged building materials, insufficient insulation, and more. An inspection at the one-year mark after construction will identify problems your builder must fix under their comprehensive one-year warranty.
