I can build things as small as a custom door to large commercial projects worth millions of dollars. I had a General Contracting business in Texas but I'm trying to grow my business here in Maine after moving up in 2023.

Also, Maine has the oldest housing stock in the US. This makes for very specific set of home inspection skills. Whether you are considering purchasing a 200 year old historic home, or a modern, high efficiency home, Pine Tree Home Inspections chief inspector, David Roberts, has the experience and tools to evaluate the home. David is InterNachi certified ( #NACHI14032823), and licensed through the State of Maine to test for radon in air and water (PSM27101)

Our average inspection time is approximately 3 hours. We keep abreast of current inspection techniques and procedures. We prefer to have our clients attend the inspection, as an on-site consultation helps avoid potential misunderstandings and that all your questions can be answered on the site. Our thorough inspection reports are e-mailed to the client at the end of the inspection. They will identify any serious structural defects and deferred maintenance issues that may not be apparent when you initially view a property.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Homes should be checked for mold annually, especially if you live in an area with high humidity or frequent rainfall. Inspections are crucial following flooding, roof leaks, or plumbing issues. More frequent checks are necessary if your home has a history of mold problems or water damage. Regular inspections help detect mold early, preventing costly remediation and minimizing health risks, especially in moisture-prone areas such as basements and bathrooms.

The foundation, roof, and the home’s major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) will take the longest to inspect since problems with any of these areas can point to safety or structural issues. An attic inspection or basement inspection may also take extra time to complete so the inspector can look for signs of moisture damage, mold, or pest problems, all of which are common in these spaces.

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.   

If the knob and tube wiring system is in good condition and recently approved by a licensed inspection, then it is safe. However, knob and tube wiring is not grounded, and the insulation sheathing can deteriorate and leave exposed wires inside walls and other areas that can cause potential fire or shock hazards. Always have a professional inspect or modify any part of knob and tube electrical systems.

Mobile homes need releveling every so often to maintain their structural integrity. Most mobile home manufacturers recommend releveling every three to five years. To keep the quality of your mobile home up for years and to avoid deterioration over time, proper maintenance is key.
