"Dylan and his crew were punctual, very professional and very responsive to any of our questions. They were great in showing us exactly what they were doing and also ensured that their work did not interfere with any underground water irrigation system pipes. They were very friendly. Nathan and Jordan also were very punctual, professional and responsive to any of our questions and concerns. They ensured that we were satisfied with their work and took the time to explain the procedure and to suggest an alternative for one particular area (i.e., grinding down a portion that could not be made to meet with the existing concrete). We would definitely recommend this company in the future. Brian, our foundation inspection person, also was great. He followed up with us to let us know when to expect the teams and did a thorough inspection of our foundation."

"I'm working out of state and this is the roofer I would recommend to do a good job and they were very respectful to my property manager who also happens to be a retired general contractor. Brent knows his product and does what he says he'll do. Wanda was very responsive to my concerns and worked with me on the schedule. It's been a year since I've the roof was installed and I have had a chance to finally inspect it for myself. It looks great and no leaks."

"Shore Up Foundation Repair LLC was recommended by Tallahassee Floor Finishing. Jake from Shore Up Foundation Repair showed up bright and early the day after I called. He assessed our situation, came up with a plan, a reasonable price and a schedule right at our kitchen table. One of the most satisfying aspects of working with Shore Up was their communication. Before the crew, Jadon, Devin and Wade, showed up, Jadon texted their arrival time. Any time there was a question or information that needed to be conveyed Jadon kept me informed as to what was happening and when it would happen. Jadon, Devin and Wade worked diligently to complete the job in one day. They discovered a small plumbing leak that I was able to get repaired by a plumber the next day. Jadon showed back up to make sure all was right with the situation. I highly recommend Shore Up Foundation Repair for any encapsulation or moisture problems in your home. They are prompt, friendly, competent and affordable."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Fresh baseboards can increase a home’s value because they refresh the look of your walls. This can make a good impression on buyers and potentially boost your home’s resale value. This is particularly helpful if your existing baseboards are in bad shape, which can age the look of your walls. 

Consider also investing in the cost to install shoe molding for an extra-polished look that can further boost resale value.

There are no strict rules for who is responsible for covering repair costs after a home inspection, as the issue is highly negotiable, except in cases of mandatory repairs. Major issues discovered during the inspection often lead to a renegotiation. The buyer might ask the seller to make the repairs as a condition of the sale, but it is more common for the buyer to use the estimated repair costs as leverage to lower the asking price. The seller may agree to lower the price to compensate the buyer or agree to fix the issues before the sale is complete. However, in a competitive real estate market, a seller might refuse to cover any repairs, knowing that other buyers may be willing to purchase the property as-is.

It is generally recommended to schedule a professional plumbing inspection annually, though an inspection every two years may be sufficient for newer homes. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age of your plumbing system, water quality (such as hardness), and any previous plumbing issues. More frequent checks are advisable for older homes or those with a history of problems. Additionally, if your property has mature trees with extensive root systems, more frequent inspections are beneficial as roots can crack sewer and water lines. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, and can include checking for leaks, inspecting connections, and ensuring pipes and fixtures are in good working condition to prolong the life of your plumbing system.

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.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.
