"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

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

You’ll know you have smoke damage if you notice a lingering smoky odor, see soot or residue, or spot any discoloration of surfaces in your home. If you have any kind of house fire, always assume you have smoke damage and hire a professional who deals with smoke damage to assess the extent of the damage and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

Unfortunately, home inspections do not check for asbestos because of the liability factor involved. That’s why you should hire a trained professional with specialized equipment to test for it. 

They will inspect all areas of the home and take samples of various materials to test. Opting for an asbestos inspection can prevent the risk of exposure to this hazardous material and save on costly repairs that may be required. 

A dryer vent inspection is simply the process of checking the vent for the possibility of damage or clogs. You can do it yourself or hire a pro. Pull the dryer away from the wall and inspect the portion of the vent that’s behind the appliance for lint buildup or kinks. Check the connection of the vent to the wall for loose parts or lint that’s escaping the vent. Check the exterior exhaust vent for signs of damage or lint blockage. A pro can check the length of the vent inside the wall for you.
