"Cleanup response very fast, thorough.  Mother came to Minnesota twice for the two holidays, delaying the final fixes.  Subcontractor work required my phone calls to check single billing.  I was disappointed in the plumber's leaving the old toilet outside the front of the house, had to ask Allmighty to remove, not once, but several times.  I instructed insurance agent on his details, my choice.  Excellent final work on the room, especially the new floor.

"It went great! They were very quick to respond and get me on the schedule. Before the repair, they showed care and concern for my home by going above and beyond in preventative work. At no cost, he put a tarp over my roof to prevent leaking when a storm was coming. He also was very communicative with my insurance company to ensure the job was done in full and correctly. I would highly recommend him."

"They were extremely thorough.  They rented a special machine to 'scrub' the air and clean out the mold once and for all.  I needed to leave the house for 48 hours and also remove my indoor cats.  Initially they thought my goldfish would be okay so we left  her in the house.  When it was evident that she wouldn't be all right they took her out of the tank, put her in a 5 gallon tank that I had and put her in the safest part of the house.
When they came back a few days later to check how everything was one of the cats got into the crawl space.  I wasn't home and they were worried about the cat's safety.  They waited until she came out even though they had to stay and extra hour or so.

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

Home Inspection FAQs, 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.

If you see rust spots or streaks or any physical damage to the chimney cap from the ground, you should hire a professional to inspect and replace it. If it’s safe to get up on your roof or near your chimney cap with a ladder, you can perform a closer inspection to identify issues. Additionally, if you know your chimney cap is nearing the end of its life—usually five to ten years—or you’re seeing evidence of water damage or pest infestation in your chimney, it’s a good idea to replace the cap.

When you notice any of these signs in your mobile home, it’s time to call a professional to relevel your home:

  • Doors and windows are difficult to open and close

  • Creaking sounds in the house

  • Water is running off tables onto the floor

  • Unusual cracks

  • The skirting or siding of your house looks like it’s buckled under pressure

  • The exterior of the home looks tilted

Generally, foundation cracks and repair are not covered by standard homeowners insurance policies. This type of damage is often considered normal wear and tear or a result of poor maintenance, which is the homeowner's responsibility. For example, damage caused by settling, shifting soil, or drainage issues is typically excluded.

However, there are exceptions. Coverage may apply if the foundation damage is a direct result of a covered peril, such as a house fire, a burst pipe, vandalism, or a vehicle accident. Coverage for natural disasters like earthquakes and floods often requires a separate, specific policy or add-on.

Yes, home additions almost always increase a home's value and can be a good investment by enhancing both its utility and square footage. The actual return depends on several factors, including the type of addition, quality of work, and local market conditions. Key additions like extra bedrooms, bathrooms, and larger kitchens tend to offer the highest returns. For example, adding a primary suite might result in a 63% return on investment, while a sunroom may yield around a 49% return. For the best results, additions should be well-planned to integrate seamlessly with the existing structure.
