"Don Felton and his team arrived on time each day, were respectful of my home, laid down cloths to protect my carpeting, treated me with respect, did an excellent job of waterproofing my basement and cleaned up after themselves. In addition, Don kept me apprised of the progress and cleaned my porch and brick wall better than it has ever been cleaned."

"Connor Avera who inspected the situation was very thorough explaining what would be done. The three men (Brandon A., Tim M., and Joshua S. ) were very polite and knowledgeable. Brandon called both days to tell me when they would arrive and they were always on time. They cleaned everything up after the completion. Brandon went thru and explained everything that was done. I highly recommend this company."

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

Systems should be checked every 2-3 years or whenever signs of age appear, maintaining network integrity and safety at all times.

The best way to check if a roofing company is legit is by asking the roofer for their license number. They should have no issue providing you with this information if they’re legitimate. You can also look to see if they have an online presence, read reviews, and ask contractors you’ve worked with before if they know the roofing company.

Certified fire door inspectors should inspect fire doors. These professionals receive training to specifically assess the condition, functionality, and compliance of fire doors. They often hold credentials from groups like the Door and Hardware Institute (DHI) or the International Fire Door Inspector Association (IFDIA). While fire marshals won’t usually do hands-on inspections, they’ll check that doors are being maintained properly during routine safety audits. If a building relies on fire doors for code compliance, it needs someone who understands the details—the difference between a cosmetic issue and a safety failure—and standards to sign off with confidence.

Most areas require both a building permit and an electrical permit for the installation of a home wind turbine. You may also need zoning approval, especially if your property is in a residential neighborhood or near protected land. Inspections are needed after foundation work and upon completion of electrical connections. Permit costs can range from $100 to $1,000, depending on local regulations and project complexity.

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.
