Greg Wilson is an Army veteran who taught construction engineering for 5 years in a high school trades and technology program before moving to Durham. A Licensed home inspector since 2022, Greg launched Reliable Residence Inspections to focus on homeowner education. A home is typically the largest purchase a family makes - you deserve to understand how it works. That's why Greg is committed to taking extra time to answer any and all questions you may have about your new home and its systems. With the homeowner education package, Reliable Residence Inspections will come back and do a walk through of your home's systems, after you've moved in and had a chance to familiarize yourself with your home. Closing on a house is a complicated time, and one where you're not well primed to memorize every single feature of an unfamiliar home.

"The work Greg did for us was very beneficial in helping us understand not only what issues or potential points of concern may have been present, but also how everything functions in the home and how things were designed. He was extremely thorough, informative, and transparent throughout. Would certainly recommend him to any homebuyer looking to have an inspection done!"

At Sierra Delta Home Inspections, we are committed to excellence in every inspection we perform. As a veteran-owned company, we bring integrity, honesty, and attention to detail to each home we inspect. Our mission is to give homeowners, buyers, and realtors the confidence they need by delivering clear, accurate, and easy-to-understand reports. With advanced tools and a customer-first approach, we ensure our clients feel informed, supported, and protected throughout the home buying or selling process. Your home is one of your biggest investments, we treat it with the same care as if it were our own.

"The company (Sean) did a pre-drywall inspection on our new home. He was particular and detailed in his inspection. He included pictures of every area that needed attention, which helped immensely. That gave the builder something to go by and me something to compare when corrected. He also had a drone so he could check the roof. After the inspection, I contacted Sean and asked if he had time to explain at 8:00pm because I had to wait until my husband was home and he accepted. On the call he took his time and explained all he found and answered all our questions. I will definitely use Sean again and refer him to others. I have several friends who are realtors and I will definitely pass his information to them. "

"Work has been scheduled for early in 2019, but they could not have been more helpful and professional in explaining our options, how our home would get the most out of the panels, and how much we are likely to save. They were explicit about costs and available rebates. We were instructed to apply for a rebate from our local energy supplier and they literally walked us through the time specific rebate procedure. We made some minor changes to their standard contract and they accepted those changes without question. I can only assume their work will be up to these standards when we do the actual installation."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

If your home has a forced-air HVAC system, it will also have HVAC duct parts. Air ducts are connected to an HVAC unit and deliver heated or cooled air to each room; your heating and AC wouldn’t work without ductwork.

However, if your house has a boiler or radiator system for heating and doesn’t have central AC, you probably don’t have ductwork installed.

Permit fees sometimes include the cost of a solar panel inspection, but it depends on local regulations. In some locations, the inspection process involves several site visits with a preinstallation, in-progress, and post-installation inspection. We’ve covered the latter. Working with an experienced installer can help you through each step of the inspection process.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

Insurance companies will often take pictures of your house to confirm property details before issuing a policy or after receiving a claim. The insurance company may keep these photos on hand to compare to later pictures if you make a claim. It’s common for an insurance company to send someone to photograph the exterior of your home and your property without notifying you in advance. However, they’ll need to let you know ahead of time if they need to take interior pictures.

First, stop working with the suspecting scammer immediately. Gather any relevant information and documents from your dealings with them. If you used a credit or debit card to pay them, call your bank and report fraud. Report the scamming company to the police, and then call your insurance company to see what coverage they offer for this type of incident.
