"We used Mike in 2014 for an inspection for a different home and it was a pleasure to work with him again on this home inspection. He responded to my email message promptly and added our inspection on his busy schedule. He did a thorough job and answered many questions during the inspection. We received his full report including pictures (and a summary report) the same day. Since we live out of town Mike recommended an electrician and a roofing contractor for work that needed to be done. Mike did a tremendous job and I will most definitely be using him again."

"Short Review: 10/10 could not recommend Michael enough. Amazing attention to detail, care, professional, and appreciate his ability to explain findings to me (little understanding of home structures.) Long Review: I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael, and I am delighted to share my review of his exceptional services. From start to finish, his professionalism, thoroughness, and attention to detail surpassed all my expectations. During the inspection, Michael’s expertise shone through. He meticulously examined every aspect of the property, leaving no stone unturned. From the foundation to the electrical systems, HVAC, and crawl space (YIKES), his attention to detail was truly remarkable. He went above and beyond to uncover any potential issues and provided valuable insights into the overall condition of the home. This home inspection was worth every single penny and I feel at ease knowing my home inspection was done completely. I will, for a fact, be using him again."

The most common sign of asbestos is the age of your home. Asbestos was banned in drywall in 1977, though many products still contained asbestos until the 1980s. Indicators of possible asbestos in your home include:

  • Your home's age, if built before 1980

  • You have a home with vinyl flooring or millboard that was installed between 1952 and 1982

  • Your home has corrugated roofing

  • Your home has walls made from cement sheets

  • Your home has vermiculite insulation

Asbestos was commonly used in construction before the 1980s. While homes built after that time are unlikely to contain asbestos, there is still a possibility. Asbestos was found in materials such as flooring, drywall/joint compound, ceiling textures (like popcorn ceilings), roofing, siding, felts, HVAC systems, and more. If you're concerned about asbestos in your home, it's important to consult with an experienced asbestos professional to assess the likelihood of its presence.

Homeowners insurance policies generally do not cover polybutylene pipes because of the high risk they pose. Some homeowners insurance companies have been threatening to terminate policies if homeowners do not replace them. Review your personal policy to be sure, but it’s a safe bet that they’re not covered—and you should prioritize repiping your home as soon as possible to avoid costly, uncovered damage.

Trained eyes spot subtle indicators amateurs might miss, ensuring issues are addressed before they escalate.

Garden windows can add value to your home and are an attractive feature for potential homebuyers. These windows add a custom look to your home and usable shelf space for homeowners with a green thumb. You’ll likely recoup your investment when it comes time to sell.

Replacing older chimneys or fireplaces, like wood-burning stoves, with something more eco-friendly can actually increase the value of your home. Some homeowners opt to remove chimneys as they pursue LEED certification, which may also increase the value of your home. But in general, many potential buyers actually look for operational fireplaces in homes, so removing a chimney and fireplace could decrease your home’s value by up to $5,000.
