As a Home Inspector, I evaluate residential properties, identify issues, and objectively assess their condition. I do not perform hands-on repairs or installations in specialized trades like concrete, electrical, irrigation, painting, and plumbing. For these jobs, please contact a qualified and licensed professional. I work for you, not the realtor or bank. With 25 years of industry experience, I offer well inspections, water contaminate, and radon gas testing. My website features a sample inspection report (quick upload). You'll receive your same-day Inspection Report via email, perfect for sharing, checklists, or negotiation. I offer military and senior (40+) discounts. See my website or call 248-795-3322. I don't perform septic inspections but offer referrals.

Patrick Michael Lyons is an ASHI Inspector who has met the rigorous requirements to be a provider of The ASHI Experience, a professional home inspection that combines the highest technical skills with superior customer service. Use the contact information form below or call the home inspector directly to ask questions and schedule your home inspection. Additional website: www.annarborhomeinspector.com.

"I am speaking from the seller’s perspective after having an inspection done on a house I was selling, and Patrick did the inspection. Thoroughness is definitely laudable. However, this inspector went to the point of questioning the color choices of the owner. Within his report he wrote “ Find out who picked the colors on the walls.”. If this had a negative affect on the value of the house, this might be reasonable. For example, if every room was painted black. However, it seems unprofessional and outside the scope of a home inspection to be making comments on the color palette of a home. Additionally, spot radon testing was done by this inspector. He even notes in his report that this is not what the EPA recommends to determine if mitigation is necessary. This puts both the buyer and seller in a difficult situation. The seller and now has a report that indicates that there could be a problem with radon and is forced to act on it. The buyer, additionally, either hast to spend , more money to have a proper radon survey done or has to request medication without good evidence. This inspectors time would be well served doing a EPA approved, radon evaluation on a house and keeping his interior design expertise to himself."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

A 4-point home inspection is similar to a standard home inspection, but it’s less extensive and is required for home insurance in select states. In a 4-point inspection, inspectors only review four main components—electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and roofing systems.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn’t open (or you’re not sure if it is or not), don’t start a fire to find out!

No, home improvement loan rates typically do not drop during certain times of the year. Interest rates go up and down based on economic conditions rather than on the time of the year. Some banks may offer slight rate discounts around the same holidays every year, but this is a marketing decision rather than a decision based on the time of the year. If you want to use a home improvement loan to fund your remodeling project, the best option is to shop around at different banks for the best rates.

An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.
