"Elon inspected my foundation to determine what walls were holding water. He took measurements and took time to share a video of the repair he was recommending. I will have four anchors installed on the problem wall at a very fair price."

"I had questions about the foundation and structure of a home I was considering buying. Steve was able to quickly get me a time slot scheduled to do the inspection. While doing the walkthrough, he was very porfessional and kept a good, open dialogue about what he noticed as concerns and things that were positive. He did a great job of assessing and inspecting all of the areas I had a concern with and made sure to point out and make me aware of the things that I wasn't aware of. Between addressing concerns, he was able to give insight about how the issues should best be repaired. I would and will happily contact Steve again for future structural and inspection issues."

"Scott was awesome. He came out right away. The lab report showed a mold issue and a few days later he came out to fog the entire house. Upon completion the second lab report showed the house all clear. Thanks Scott. We can breathe easier knowing we donâ t have mold."

"It went very well.  This is a family business which is run now by James & Eric Norton. It was originally started by their uncle. They were able to come in a week and a half of my call. I had received several other quotes which were much higher and included work I did not need (which had a price in the thousands of dollars). They explained all the options which allowed me to make the best decision. Clearly they want to d the right job at the right price for the customer. I made the decision on the spot to have them do the job and they had enough time before their next appointment to get it done right there and then. They know what they are doing and did a great job and were very clean. I referred them to my neighbor who is in need of their services.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Many experts agree on a twice-yearly schedule for DIY foundation checks and professional inspections every one to three years, depending on the condition of your foundation. Visually checking your foundation twice a year will ensure that it is not damaged during severe summer or winter weather events. Extreme temperature changes impact the soil surrounding the foundation, as do lengthy rain storms. Both issues expose the foundation to excessive moisture, which is not good for its overall health and stability. Call a pro if you notice any damage or changes during your DIY check.

Solar panel inspection costs range between $150 and $350. The system's location can increase the cost, with roof-mounted panels being among the more expensive systems to inspect. Larger systems also cost more because of the time it takes to complete the inspection. Other factors affecting the price include the inverter type, objects around the system, and add-ons you purchase along with the inspection.

Older homes normally take longer to inspect than newer ones. Old homes are more prone to damage, deterioration, or outdated systems and features, and an inspector will need to note the condition of the home and anything in it that may need to be updated or repaired.

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.

Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they’re thinking of buying, it’s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won’t affect the integrity of the surrounding home. With full knowledge, homebuyers can then make plans for any necessary repairs before they move in.
