"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, in most cases, you can negotiate and make a counteroffer after a home inspection. If the inspection reveals issues with the property, you can use these findings as leverage to reduce the purchase price. Your counteroffer should account for the estimated cost of necessary repairs, and it's important to find a reasonable balance to increase the chances of the seller accepting. The main exception is if you waived the home inspection contingency to make your offer more appealing. In that situation, while you can still have an inspection done for your own information, you have no contractual recourse to make a counteroffer based on the results.

Garden windows can add value to your home and are an attractive feature for potential homebuyers. These windows add a custom look to your home and usable shelf space for homeowners with a green thumb. You’ll likely recoup your investment when it comes time to sell.

The unseen issues with a home are often the ones that turn out to be the most stressful. While inspections aren’t a legal requirement, they can highlight significant issues, such as damaged foundations, excessive mold, leaky basements, or problematic plumbing. These can cost thousands of dollars to repair, and the work can be invasive.

Knowing these things that fail a home inspection in advance allows you to decide if you want to proceed with the purchase. The seller may even cut back the sale price to help cover any renovation expenses or take care of them before closing.

Home inspections can reveal many different issues that could end up costing buyers thousands of dollars or more post-closing to rectify, so what a buyer is willing to pay for a home largely depends on the findings of the home inspection. Major issues like foundation damage or structural problems could significantly bring down the selling price. A “clean” home inspection that reveals no issues may make the home more enticing to buyers, potentially raising the selling price.

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.
