"Davon from NextDay Inspect did a very thorough inspection of the home. The day of Davon explained what to expect during the inspection, providing us a verbal summary as he completed review of each section of the home. The report he completed was detailed reiterating the issues he came across noting the risk to the home and health. The report also linked to clear photos of the issues."

"I called this company after seeing their deal and high ratings on Angie's list. They were able to come out the next business day and take care of my dryer vent. The lady I spoke with at the office was incredibly nice and helpful. She answered all my questions and got me scheduled quickly. She called the day of my visit and asked if they could move my appointment up due to some schedule changes, which was fine. The tech was about 10 minutes early, but didn't give me a hard time for not being home just yet; my window was at 2pm and I got home at about 1:55pm. He had started inspecting the exterior of the dryer vent while waiting for me and let me know there were no birds nests or obvious obstructions. After taking a look inside, he got to work and about 30-40 minutes later, my dryer vent was clean and my dryer has been working great since. Once he finished cleaning, he showed me some pictures of the dryer vent and how bad it was. Having recently moved from CA, he also let me know that you do not pay tax for labor in the state of VA and that fall was the optimal time to get dryer vents cleaned because the chances of birds creating nests right after you get your vent cleaned out is pretty low."

"I was beyond impressed and pleased with the service that Josh Meloney provided. He was extremely thorough and detailed in the inspection of my home. He was also very helpful in answering some questions that I had regarding certain areas of my home. Josh was also very prompt in sending over the report on the same day as my inspections. The format of the report was highly detailed and easy to follow, including pictures of the areas he inspected. I would highly recommend Josh Meloney and JA Inspection Services to anyone. His level of professionalism and expertise were exceptional and he was a pleasure to work with."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

Yes, a seller is legally required to disclose any known fire damage when selling a house, including damages that were repaired. That includes damages to structural components and all major systems, as well as water damage, chemical damage, and smoke damage related to the fire. Sellers use a property disclosure statement, which is regulated by each state individually, to disclose fire damage.

Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. 

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.

If your home has a forced-air HVAC system, it will also have HVAC duct parts. Air ducts are connected to an HVAC unit and deliver heated or cooled air to each room; your heating and AC wouldn’t work without ductwork.

However, if your house has a boiler or radiator system for heating and doesn’t have central AC, you probably don’t have ductwork installed.
