"First time home buyer and was very pleased and content with the home inspection provided by Greg! He was very knowledgeable and provided great insight throughout the home inspection. Following the inspection, the comprehensive report was very helpful and insightful. I highly recommend the Home Education package, buying a home can be a very hectic experience especially before close. With the package Greg comes back to do an inspection post close date to look over the house again. For the peace of mind with was well worth it to walk through the house with a clearer head. 10/10 would recommend Greg to all potential home buyers!"

"It went extremely well. Steve and Ron came out to my house and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. They walked me through the entire process and answered all of my questions. The work was done in a very timely manner...within a week and a half. Every time I had questions, they responded very promptly. The guys who did the work did an excellent job. It only took them one day and they cleaned everything up before leaving, making sure to clean up any nails that might have fallen down while installing the new roof. Barry came out to do the final inspection and was great as well. The entire process could not have gone smoother. It went so well I am now having them come back to do some siding repairs. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend them for others to use."

"Aaron did a great job inspecting the place and determining the issue that we thought was a leaking roof was instead a condensation issue. He provides us with helpful tips on how to prevent the issue for the future."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

There are a few key differences between wind mitigation and four-point inspections. Wind mitigation inspections focus on a single aspect of your home (its ability to withstand high winds). In contrast, four-point inspections assess multiple parts of your house (roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC). Despite this, wind mitigation and four-point inspections cost about the same amount.

A home inspection is always worth it when buying a home, as it can reveal major issues with a home that could cost you thousands of dollars post-closing. If it doesn’t uncover any issues, then you have some peace of mind that you won’t have to lay out tens of thousands of dollars in repairs after you close.

Repiping your home creates a large mess, and you won’t have access to water while your contractors are working. To prepare, contractors will cover the floor and furniture with drop clothes. In some cases, they may move furniture to protect it and get it out of the way. They’ll then cut holes in your walls, floors, and ceiling to expose the existing pipes.

They’ll also turn off your water, but they’ll leave at least one bathroom and the kitchen functioning at the end of the day. You’ll need to plan accordingly.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

You should schedule a fireplace inspection at least once a year, per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). However, this is the minimum requirement even if you’re diligent with fireplace maintenance between uses. If you suspect your fireplace is malfunctioning, schedule one sooner to avoid fire hazards or the release of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide in your home.
