How do I know if my chimney is dirty?

• <div><p>There are several signs that your chimney is dirty and ready for cleaning. Look for the following:</p><ul><li><p>A buildup of creosote and soot inside the chimney</p></li><li><p>The room fills with smoke when you use the fireplace</p></li><li><p>The damper is black with creosote residue</p></li><li><p>When you light a fire, it quickly goes out</p></li></ul><p>In general, it’s best to schedule a cleaning at least once a year before winter so you can safely use the fireplace. </p></div>

Q: Should you buy a house that has been underpinned?

• <div><p>As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property&rsquo;s structure, it shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer&rsquo;s report before making a final decision.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have a radon problem?

• <div><p>The only way to determine if you have a radon problem in your home is to have professional testing done. You can buy DIY radon test kits, but these are sometimes inaccurate in certain temperatures and humidity levels, and they don&rsquo;t paint the entire picture in terms of your radon exposure. Scheduling testing once every two to five years is best. You can also look out for the following symptoms, which, according to the American Cancer Society, are symptoms of radon exposure:</p><ul><li><p>Shortness of breath</p></li><li><p>Cough</p></li><li><p>Tightness in the chest</p></li><li><p>Difficulty swallowing</p></li><li><p>Hoarseness</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What maintenance does a home addition require after completion?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, finishing maintenance, and updating systems like HVAC for efficiency.</p></div>

Q: How do I know which type of electrical inspection to get?

• <div><p>Full home electrical inspections are mandatory if you&rsquo;re buying a new home, but if you&rsquo;re just looking for a safety checkup, you have some flexibility. If you don&rsquo;t have any concerns and your property is relatively new, a basic inspection is usually sufficient. If it&rsquo;s been a long time since your home was last inspected, or it&rsquo;s an older home, a full home inspection can help catch any concerns that may fly under the radar.</p></div>

Kevin went above and beyond in the job we hired him for. He was very professional and paid attention to all the details of our home and made suggestions that made our home look great. We would hire again if ever we needed any other repairs. He and his crew were absolutely fantastic.

They came in during the day while I was at work. When I came home, everything was spotless. They moved the furniture for me and cleaned up after themselves. The only thing that was different was the new window they installed!
