"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Justin made the entire home buying experience less stressful, knowing we had such a detail-oriented home inspector in our corner! His thorough report doubles as a homeowner’s manual. He has made himself available for follow-up questions, and is always quick to respond. As a first time home buyer, Justin welcomed us to walk with him through the entire inspection & showed us how each component of the house works. We could not have been happier with our decision to contract with Maxim Inspections, Justin made entire process seamless!"

"04/18/2025 Appraise Real Estate Elliott Morales helped me with my property appraisal . He is very knowledgeable and I appreciated both his work ethics and the results. He’s very easy to reach and quick to respond to my requests. His appraisal report was very thorough and done on time. Elliott went beyond what I asked and gave me some best advice in addition to my initial questions , which was extremely helpful. I was completely satisfied with the service provided by Mr. Morales and will seek his service again, should I need any of his expertise in the future. Highly recommend him to my family and friends."

"Workers were very accommodating, polite and very trustworthy. Left them alone in my house and nothing was stolen. I say that because I have had contractors in my home and expensive items were stolen. I was very pleased with their respectfulness and their willingness to do what I asked as a favor. They were a great team and their leader was terrific. I felt comfortable leaving them alone in my home after meeting with them. I did not know they were referred by Home Advisor as I replied to a few sites and was pleasantly surprised as they were the first ones to contact me so I promptly made the appointment as time was of the essence. Thank you for your services you provide when one has no referrals or contacts to call. I would highly recommend your site."

"Bob Stevenson came by and gave me very thorough inspections regarding my basement, foundation cracks and windows. I was extremely impressed by his presentation, honesty and detailed knowledge base. Bob performed a very thorough inspection of my basement and foundation. He did not try to pressure me or upsell me at all. Very decent person. I have met with several competitors and BudgetDry seems to have a better system than most. If I move forward with this project I would definitely consider hiring this company. I give Bob my highest recommendation."

"Nickexplained what to expect very clearly. He showed me aspects of my roof that were problematic and explained what needed to be done and why before and during the project. He said he would get the job done in two days. Despite several rain showers and a lot more wood rot than expected, the crew got the job done. Care was taken to build a beautiful chimney and cover my house with a gorgeous new roof after being sure that plywood and fascia board that had rotted under the old roof was replaced. At the end of each day, the site was left completely clean. This family company has been doing this work for several generations and it shows in the pride of workmanship."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

To determine if you’re being overcharged, request an itemized price breakdown of the project. Check for hidden fees or project expenses, from parts to labor, that are clearly overpriced. However, the easiest way to know if a contractor is overcharging you is by getting an estimate for the same project from another professional. Negotiating with a contractor if you have another bid for a lower price is possible.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

Common warning signs of an overloaded electrical panel or meter box include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering or dimming lights, scorch or burn marks, and a burning scent coming from the panel. A circuit breaker trips as a protective measure to prevent overheating and potential fires. If you observe any of these signs, turn off the affected circuit breaker and move some devices to a different circuit. If the problem persists after turning the breaker back on, you should contact a professional electrician to resolve the issue.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

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.
