"Mr. Stouter did a thorough home inspection. He took the time to explain some concerns and answer any questions that I had. He produced a well documented report within the time frame promised. He was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for a home inspection."

"I am a Real Estate agent. I have used Mike at Difran Brothers for several inspections, and he is great! He is thorough, but does not scare the clients. He explains everything in full detail, calmly and clearly. My clients really like him as well, and that is important. The inspection reports are easy to understand. Recommend them!"

"Was the best one with an affordable offer after the inspection. Also was the only one where moisture readings were taken around the suspect area of infestation. Came out to do the remediation the next day to complete the job. Professional and quick with it only being a one person operation for my call. Great local business and professional mold remediation."

"The very best experience! I have a so. With severe asthma and lately have not been able to control it. A friend mentioned having the house tested for mold and we set a company from home advisor who didn t show. I called around 4 more people 3 of which I felt like a number, to busy, very high quotes, and then I got Wilbur Hull. Explained what was going on and he had compassion and was able to come out for a test same day! When he got here he was thorough and I was willing to spend whatever to test all of the rooms. He was very thorough and explained after a free inspection that I could test but, it could and would be a waste of money if I had to treat when the results came in versus just treating anyway and skipping the fee of testing. It was a no brainer and a great feeling he went out of his way to save me money. I was skeptical on how it would kill everything but with research and his knowledge it really is a fantastic product offering more then just mold remediation. We treated the entire house for close to what other companies wanted just to test! His crew was above and beyond helpful moving things, explaining, and dealing with a paranoid mom. After they left the house smelled fantastic in areas once muggy (laundry room/mud room) and I could see positive changes in my son. About 10 days later cleaning I found apparent mold in a bench seat that would have been blocked/buried when they came initially. I called him to come back out admitting fault of it not being pointed out prior on my part to get a quote of hitting that spot I had blocked. He went above and beyond sent his crew who re-did it with a smile and asked about my son. A true family man, company, and crew. We will continue to use their service annually as precaution and will recommend them highly to everyone. We need more businesses like this!"

"I called JES Foundation Company for a free inspection of my crawl space. I was concerned about a crack in my foundation wall. JES inspector Richard Sheman Showed up to inspect my foundation. He sent a text with the time of his arrival. He was pleasant and on time. He went into my crawlspace and inspected the crack in the wall and stated I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the foundation and itâ  s structure. He explain to me how I could fix the superficial settling crack and save a bunch of money. I appreciate the honesty of the business and I would recommend it to anyone who had the same concerns, and for any of their other services. Ron P Home owner."

"I have to say that Once and Done did a great job. I had my sump pump fail on a Friday morning around 3AM. I got an alert of a leak in the basement. I put in a request on home advisor not even an hour later and by 7AM on Saturday morning I had a call to discuss the project. Once and Done and their team came out on a Sunday to get the problem fixed. Top notch customer service. Would highly recommend."

"Want to go on record to say that service was excellent from initial contact and a thorough timely evaluation and appraisal with supporting documentation. I found the work to be very professional and was done in an expedient fashion. Company was very transparent in pricing and I found their actual pricepoint to be more than fair for the final rendered report. That said, I would gladly use this company again if I had the need."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.

Depending on your state, a home inspector may need a license. All states and the District of Columbia require home inspectors to undergo training. However, some states (such as New York, Texas, Washington, and Illinois) require state-issued licenses while others (including California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) do not.

Other professional certifications include the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) certification, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) certification, and the National Home Inspector Examination. Inspectors can also receive certifications in specialized areas. These can include structural specialties, like chimneys, swimming pools, or septic systems, as well as specific issues like mold, pests, or radon gas. Whatever your situation, make sure your home inspector is certified to handle it.

Homeowners insurance may cover shower pan leaks, but it depends on the type of coverage you’re looking for. Typically, home insurance policies cover sudden or accidental water damage, for example, if it comes from a busted pipe or malfunctioning appliance. Damage to a shower pan is usually gradual. A repair or replacement of your shower pan usually won’t be covered by your policy. If your shower pan leak causes water damage, chances are your standard policy—if it includes water damage—will cover the repair.

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.

Closing out an open building permit requires that you have your professional schedule a final inspection of the work they completed. In some cases, like a roof replacement or solar installation, a building inspector from your local municipality may just carry out a drive-by inspection. In other cases, like new construction or a change to interior plumbing or electrical work, the inspector might need to gain access to your home to confirm that the work was done in accordance with the local building code.
