"I received Mr. Walker's number from my brother. He performed our home inspection when we were trying to buy a new home a few years ago. We were very pleased with his services, and we have had no issues with our home since then EXCEPT for the few things he told us to monitor. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a good quality inspection with a fair, competitive price."
"I contacted Home Advisor looking for a mold inspection company on a Saturday. Within 10 minutes I received a call. I m in California and my daughter attends school in Mississippi. She has been very ill since moving into the house she is renting. I hopped on an airplane and meet with the inspector Monday. The inspector was completely professional and knowledgeable. The results were back in less than 24 hours, from an independent lab. I highly recommend this company!"
"This contractor did a great job and got it done in one day. However, the person who came to do the work on my home did not come to my door to introduce himself, he just came and started working on my home. He worked from 2pm to 9:30 pm, with a break in between to go to Home Depot to grab more supplies to finish the job. He didn?t even tell me that he was finished either. Then there was a bit of communication breakdown between the owner and I when it came to payment, I thought I would be able to pay him with my debit card but at the time of payment, he informed me that there would be an extra 3.5% surcharge added because of the app he had to use to process my payment, which would have blown my budget. So I had to go to the bank and take out cash. Overall, the work was excellent, but I wish there was a bit more on the customer service side of the equation."
"Want to go on record to say that service was excellent from initial contact and a thorough timely evaluation and appraisal with supporting documentation. I found the work to be very professional and was done in an expedient fashion. Company was very transparent in pricing and I found their actual pricepoint to be more than fair for the final rendered report. That said, I would gladly use this company again if I had the need."

"Redeemers Group was prompt, courteous, and professional all around. I called regarding cracked bricks on the outside of our home, concerning for a foundation issue. Scheduling was easy. They called the day before to confirm the appointment and who would show up to our house. The day of inspection Jay called 15 minutes before arrival, and arrived exactly on schedule. He and a colleague (Kirk) were courteous and professional. They even took their shoes off in the house, which my wife loved. They visually inspected the area of concern, and performed professional measurements using a leveled tripod laser. Jay and Kirk determined the crack was due to construction and we had no current foundation problem. They provided advice for keeping water away from our home, and for monitoring the foundation over time. The company also sent a detailed foundation package in the mail so I could read on the topic before the inspection. Overall fantastic experience and I would recommend to those in need of a foundation inspection or repair estimate."
The standard home inspection period is typically around 10 days from when your offer is accepted, but this can range from one week to 21 days. The exact duration depends on factors like your location, the current state of the housing market, and how quickly the seller needs to close the deal. This period is the time you have to conduct a home inspection and decide whether to move forward with the purchase or back out. To confirm your specific timeline, you should check your offer agreement, as the language defining the inspection period will be included there.
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.
Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.
You can look at the duct damper’s lever to see if it’s open or closed. If the lever is parallel to the duct, the damper is open. If it’s perpendicular, the damper is closed. Alternatively, you can hold your hand against vents throughout your home. If you feel air coming out, that damper is partially or fully open. No airflow likely means that the damper is closed.
In theory, a regular home inspection and a mobile home inspection accomplish the same things. They ensure there are no issues with the foundation, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, roof, siding, doors, windows, and more. In practice, though, the inspections can differ based on the layout, the type of foundation, and how easily accessible different parts of the home are. Mobile home inspections tend to take a bit longer because it’s more challenging to access home systems, especially if the mobile home doesn’t have an attic or crawl space.
