"Mike at Stellar Home Improvements was recommended to me for the backsplash work by the folks at Pacific Kitchens. He was so easy to work with. He showed up on time to assess the job, gave us a firm cost estimate for the labor and recommendations on tile providers and helped us figure out exactly what we wanted. He showed up on schedule and completed the work on schedule. The work he did is just beautiful. He's an honest, easy to do business with craftsman and I will consider using him again for other work as well as highly recommend him to others. Thanks, Mike!

"Francisco has been my go-to home inspector since the begining of my career. I keep coming back to him because of his relentless work ethic, his ease of explaining terms to me and my clients, and his willingness to work with my crazy schedule. He is truly a god send, you cannot go wrong with choosing him for your next inspection."

"I contacted RC Roofing to get a bid on re-roofing my second story roof in preparation of installing a solar power system.  Rick Clark of RC Roofing explained in significant detail the proper procedure to install a roof when installing solar power.  He recommended the old roof be removed, then the solar contractor install the stanchions, followed by the stanchion flashings and the roof being installed.  In following this process, it is the roofer warranty that applies, and not the standard ten year warranty by the solar contractor.  I thought I might have a challenge in coordinating the work to be done by the roofer and solar  contractor, but I didn't.  Rick contacted my solar contractor (Unique Solar) and arranged all scheduling without me having to be involved.  It all worked out very well.  In a period of two days, my old roof was removed, the solar stanchions installed by Unique Solar, and the new roof installed. 
 I was very satisfied with the job done, and in everything associated with it.  Rick Clark arrived to inspect my roof shortly after I called.  He wrote a detailed bid proposal that had no ambiguities and explained in detail all work to be performed.  All the RC Roofing personnel were polite, didn?t have loud music on during their work, left no mess or debris whatsoever, and even repaired part of another roof on my house and painted the flashings at no additional charge.  From initial contact with RC Roofing to job completion took only four days; that is very timely.  One last thing I should probably mention is the integrity of RC Roofing.  I requested Rick Clark inspect the roofs of two commercial buildings owned by my mother-in-law.  He reported back to me that the roofs were in good shape and didn?t need to be replaced.  He noted that the mastic was cracking at the base of one of the air conditioners, and that he could repair, but that it would be easy for me to do and less expensive.  This shows the honesty of the company.  I think RC Roofing can be trusted, and I will use them again if the need arises.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for measuring humidity, you can gauge the levels in your home using simpler methods that provide rough estimations. One way is to observe physical clues. Signs of high humidity include mold growth, condensation on windows, or feeling sticky and clammy indoors. Conversely, dry skin or dry furniture can indicate that the humidity is too low. You can also try DIY tests, such as the ice cube test, using two different thermometers, or the “hair method,” which involves placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours—if the hair becomes limp, humidity is likely high.

While it’s not mandatory unless you’re purchasing a home, it is important to schedule regular home electrical inspections for safety and to maintain your house’s value. Inspections can reduce fire risk and can help save money on insurance premiums. They can also catch problems before they start, saving money on repairs down the line.

It’s a good idea to be present for a home inspection so the inspector has access to anything they need for the inspection and so you can ask the home inspector questions if necessary. You don’t need to shadow the inspector while they’re conducting the inspection—in fact, it’s better if you don’t—but don’t go too far in case they need access to something or have any questions.

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.

Depending on your state, a home inspector may need a license. All states and the District of Columbia require home inspectors to undergo training. However, some states (such as New York, Texas, Washington, and Illinois) require state-issued licenses while others (including California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) do not.

Other professional certifications include the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) certification, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) certification, and the National Home Inspector Examination. Inspectors can also receive certifications in specialized areas. These can include structural specialties, like chimneys, swimming pools, or septic systems, as well as specific issues like mold, pests, or radon gas. Whatever your situation, make sure your home inspector is certified to handle it.
