"The technician was personable, and professional. He protected our floors when he did the chimney and fireplace cleaning and made recommendations that were based on the safety of using our chimney and fireplace rather than on his desire to sell a product. He is extremely knowledgeable about what he does and is not in such a hurry that he wouldn't explain or answer questions. The work was done efficiently and we are most pleased with it. I was particularly impressed with his commitment to our satisfaction and enjoyed learning about him and his family. Highly recommended for any kind of chimney work."

"The purchasing and customization of the home security system went very smooth.  The sales rep Warren was very helpful and accommodating in substituting the equipment included in the package for ones that suited our needs better.  The only issue was that there was a mailing address error.  When I said the word "Eagle" in my street address, Warren recorded the word "ego," which ended up delaying the arrival for a day or two. Funny, but honest mistake.  Having on-line access to the account really helps.  That how I notice the error in the first place.  Set up was easy; however, they should include a picture or measurements of the magnet parts that come with the sensors.  They have a particular shape that won't always fit certain door or window trims. Everything else was a breeze.  I recommend getting the touch screen panel.  The thing is pretty cool.  The monitoring has been good so far.  Of course these are the type of things you hope never to have to use."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

It is a bad idea to try to walk on a roof with snow on it. In fact, you should stay off your roof all year long, even when it is dry and sunny outside. There are too many things that can go wrong, and one misstep can cause serious injury or even death.

Rather, if you need to get something done on your roof, call in a pro. They have the right experience and know-how to get things done safely on a snowy roof, including snow removal.

This depends on the design of your roof and any preexisting issues. If you have water and puddles pooling, no matter the roof type, apply a coat of sealant immediately. Beyond that, seal a flat roof every five years, though constant rain and snow hasten this time frame to three or four years. Add a few years for sloped roofs, waiting six to eight years between applications, as water does not pool with these designs.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.

The principal, common, and auxiliary rafters are the most frequently used types of rafters. Principal rafters are large and typically appear toward the edges of the roof. Common rafters are smaller than principal rafters. Some people may use a mix of common and principal rafters. The auxiliary rafter is not common, but it provides extra reinforcement for a principal rafter on a large building.

There are several signs that indicate you’ll need new underlayment. Clear signs include missing or damaged roofing and exposing the underlayment to the elements. Additionally, if you notice water damage in your home by the roof after a storm, it could indicate that your underlayment may need to be replaced. If your gutters aren’t draining properly, it could also lead to rotting or water damage to the underlayment.
