"My home inspection with Bill was a very good experience. He was very knowledgeable and explaining everything he found as we walked around and through the house. He was both professional and friendly, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Many thanks, Bill!"

"We have had them for about three years and we have also been very satisfied. They have been responsive to us. Once we had a snake in the basement and I did not want to deal with it, I called them. They could not help me, but they referred me to somebody else who did."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Waiving a home inspection could be beneficial if you’re buying a home in a hot location where the seller has many other offers to consider, especially if other buyers are willing to waive the inspection. However, it’s not usually a good idea to waive an inspection, even on new construction. Inspections can identify problems that could cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, so a formal inspection is always worthwhile. If you’re having a new home built, a pre-drywall inspection is often the most valuable, but a final inspection before you close is also a good idea.

Fresh baseboards can increase a home’s value because they refresh the look of your walls. This can make a good impression on buyers and potentially boost your home’s resale value. This is particularly helpful if your existing baseboards are in bad shape, which can age the look of your walls. 

Consider also investing in the cost to install shoe molding for an extra-polished look that can further boost resale value.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

Unfortunately, asbestos is not easily identified and can often be hidden in plain sight in your home. While it can look like fluffy fibers, tiny pieces can also appear in materials like plastic or cement, making it impossible to identify on your own properly.

Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

It's smart to schedule a foundation inspection after a significant drought, especially if you suspect new problems in your home's structure, such as cracks or uneven floors. Be sure to hire a certified contractor to inspect your foundation, particularly one that specializes in foundations or home inspections. Catching potential problems early on can help you avoid costly repairs in the long run.
