"ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. From our first contact to the finished product our expectations were meet and then some. We had three estimates. They were the only one to get on the roof AND offered to repair an obvious problem area. Kris promptly grab his equipment and made the repair. He reluctantly accepted a minimal fee. They returned calls and answered all questions in a timely manner. They were on site as promised, with a courteous, congenial crew. We knew once the old roof was off there were likely to be undetectable issues. (the roof was old and in obvious disrepair - leaks). We were offered more than one solution with price quotes. Considering the additional repairs needed and weather (rain) they finished in a reasonable time frame. Once the job was finished they returned the area, at the very least, as good as they found it. The roofs look better than we anticipated. We had a couple of questions after the completion and Mike came back at our convince and answered them to our satisfaction. All this for a reasonable cost!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Some of the biggest red flags to look out for after a home inspection include signs of water or moisture damage, missing or damaged shingles, structural problems like bowing roof joists, cracks in the foundation, and signs of pest damage.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

Indications include cracks in walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows that suggest foundation movements.

Unfortunately, home inspections do not check for asbestos because of the liability factor involved. That’s why you should hire a trained professional with specialized equipment to test for it. 

They will inspect all areas of the home and take samples of various materials to test. Opting for an asbestos inspection can prevent the risk of exposure to this hazardous material and save on costly repairs that may be required. 

Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don’t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn’t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.
