Our Home Inspectors are all Certified and we are a local Michigan owned business serving everyone in SE Michigan. APPEX Home Inspection Services has been ranked #1 in Customer Satisfaction for the past 5 years by JCV Resources Inc. We provide same day services and a money back guarantee satisfaction. Home Inspections start at $245 and we offer FREE follow up Inspections to review any repairs that are made after our initial inspection to ensure the work was done right. The home inspection process provides you with a thorough, top to bottom inspection including: roof, structure, foundations, attic ventilation and insulation, doors and windows, interior and exterior walls, plumbing and electrical systems, HVAC systems, kitchens (including built-in appliances) and bathrooms. If you are in the market, buying a home could be the largest single investment you will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, by having the home inspected you’ll learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. Although a home may seem perfect at first glance, a home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. Some findings during your home inspection may lead to negotiations on price, while others, if serious enough, may warrant walking away from the home completely. After our home inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Absolutely, as it ensures designs are viable and won’t compromise structural integrity.
