Q: What are the three main types of inspections for new construction?

• <div><p>The three main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-inspections.htm">types of home inspections</a> you should always carry out for new construction include a pre-drywall inspection, a post-drywall inspection, and a one-year inspection. The pre-drywall inspection can identify building code violations, issues with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, and structural issues. The post-drywall inspection can identify damaged building materials, insufficient insulation, and more. An inspection at the one-year mark after construction will identify problems your builder must fix under their comprehensive one-year warranty.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals provide maintenance advice post-inspection?

• <div><p>Yes, suggesting repairs, gutter cleaning, and sealing as needed.</p></div>

Q: What are the most serious issues that arise in a home inspection?

• <div><p>Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you&rsquo;re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my roof can support solar panels?

• <div><p>The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They&rsquo;ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of roof underlayment?

• <div><p>Roof underlayment usually lasts as long as the roofing material that covers it, as it&rsquo;s not directly exposed to the elements. In most cases, roofing companies will replace the underlayment each time they install a new roof. In some cases, particularly with slate, clay, or certain metal roofs that can last 50 to 100 years, your underlayment may require replacement within that timeframe, especially if you start to notice roof leaks.</p></div>

We called Bob to do an estimate on our roof. He explained that he had jobs lined up to be completed before ours, but if we sprang a leak, he would come and tarp it immediately. Fortunately, that didn't happen. As it was July, Bob and his helper showed up quite early in the morning to begin work....

They inspected the roof and showed me why it needed a complete tear off instead of repair. They let me choose the shingles. They told me what shingles not to choose. They showed me all material used & why. They answered all questions during construction. Polite at all times.

"It's a pretty decent system, I think. They send you the pieces and you install them yourself, which is pretty easy. The only real problem I have is that one sensor is too far away from the panel...or there's some interference, and they haven't been able to fix that. It's an interior door, so it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. Their customer service is pretty good though. Nice, smart customer service people on the other end, very polite and helpful."
