"They did a comprehensive inspection of the old roof externally and internally, pointing out all the problem areas, something the other contractors I tried did not do as thoroughly (attic is not completely open). The roof was completed in a day and no debris was left behind."

"Mr. Henshaw visited my home to inspect it the same day I called! And at a much more reasonable rate than other structural engineers I talked to. I am very thankful to have learned about Mr. Henshaw through Homeadvisor.com! Very courteous and professional. Highly recommended!"

"Erie Homes completed a basement waterproofing for us on 11/20/23. We were impressed and pleased by the professionalism and communication at every phase of the project. Brandon expertly explained the Erie Homes waterproofing system, sump pumps, materials, and warranty and provided us with a quote and pricing details. Having being burned by projects in the past, we came back with a long list of questions and conditions. Brandon answered every single one, made sure that we were completely satisfied with the terms, and added our notes to the contract. Project manager Gage and the team that came to our home was quick and professional. They periodically filled us in on the progress and communicated any changes or concerns. When the project was completed, they walked us through and made sure we were happy with the work before leaving. Since finishing, we have had several rainy weeks and a completely dry basement. Based on the product, work, and customer service, we will be highly recommending Erie Homes to anyone needing basement or waterproofing work."

"We hired this appraiser for a sale price on our FSBO house so we could price it correctly. Appraiser was professional & seemed well informed but after quoting a week turn around on the report, it was actually 15 days to get an email report & a month to get the print copy and that was with several text requests from me. It is a very busy selling time right now, but I was disappointed to have to wait so long for a price. Also the written report has no room measurements like previous appraisals we've had in the past, only total sq ft."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

A standard roof inspection typically takes one to two hours. The exact duration can vary, ranging from as little as 30 minutes to as long as four hours, depending on several factors. These include the roof's size, complexity, condition, and accessibility. Inspections for very large homes or those with extensive damage will take longer. It's a good practice to ask for a time estimate when you hire an inspector to ensure enough time is allotted for a thorough evaluation.

Depending on location, sellers are often legally required to disclose a home’s defects to buyers, even if the home is being sold as-is. Certain types of defects, such as asbestos, mold, previous water damage, structural issues, and other safety risks, may be required to be disclosed, so check local laws to see what needs to be disclosed and what doesn’t.

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.

A professional foundation inspection typically takes one to two hours, depending on the size of the house and whether the inspector finds any issues that require further investigation. The specialist or structural engineer will evaluate the foundation's condition by inspecting many parts of the home, including the perimeter, crawl space or basement, windows, doors, trimwork, attic, roof, and interior and exterior walls. They will also check for signs of over-settling and may inspect your landscape's drainage and gutters.

There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:

  • Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney

  • Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance

  • Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox

  • Water stains in or around the fireplace

  • A broken or stuck damper
