"Frank was very responsive and communicative leading up to the inspection. In the reminder email we received for our inspection appointment, there was a helpful link that covered what to inspect. During the inspection, Frank was prompt to let us know about higher priority repairs and at the end of the appointment, I had the detailed inspection report in hand. 100% would recommend."

"Not only did I need insulation work, I also needed pest control as rat droppings were discovered in the crawl space. Everyone, from Victor who performed the inspection, to Jose (job foreman) and his crew who did the insulation installation and all aspects of the pest control, to Julian (Attic Pros customer service) were all professional, knowledgeable, friendly, hardworking, and prompt. Home repair can be daunting and stressful. The professionals at Attic Pros took away that stress. I highly recommend them!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

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.

Home HVAC inspection costs vary widely from state to state. These different cost factors are due to geographic locations and cost of living. States with a lower cost of living are likely to have lower inspection costs compared with high-cost-of-living states. HVAC inspection costs can also vary within a state. If a technician has to travel a long distance to reach your home, you can expect to pay more for your inspection.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

To determine if your house has dampers, inspect the ductwork for levers or handles, particularly near the main trunk line of your HVAC unit. Dampers are typically found in homes with ducted heating and cooling systems, but not all houses have them, as some builders may omit them to save on construction costs. If you cannot find any dampers or wish to have them installed, it is best to contact a local HVAC professional. While you can install them yourself, it may require significant work and could involve a partial air duct replacement, potentially costing $1,000 or more.

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.
