"Very satisfied with the whole process. Gerald did an excellent job. Arrived punctually and observed COVID protocols. Explained clearly what he was going to do and how. Showed us preliminary findings, and obtained our permission to take samples for lab testing. We felt he listened to, and responded to, our concerns. Overall a very professional experience. We’ve now received the written report and feel we got what we wanted: an objective analysis of the problem and information we need to remedy it."

"We had pest and ant problems in a 1930’s home we recently purchased. It had been vacant for some time. Part of the solution was to redo the crawl space. Andy Construction gave us a very reasonable quote for removing what was there and installing the vapor barriers, replacing spotty floor insulation, sealing cracks and new access doors. The crew was courteous, on time, and left no mess. We haven’t seen a mouse since and the ants are getting under control. Our floors and home are so much warmer! We heartily recommend Andy’s Construction."

"Patriot Roofing is an excellent company. Everyone that I came in contact with were very professional and helpful. I had an old shake roof nearing the end of it's life span, and it was not cost effective to repair and maintain. After several bids from other companies, I decided on Patriot Roofing, even though it was on the high end of the price scale, there were several things I considered in choosing Patriot. Keith, my roofing consultant did an excellent job in providing all the information needed for me to make a decision. He did a preliminary inspection, provided me with a binder which showed pictures of the old roof, and evaluation about the roof's condition. It also provided me detailed information on the scope of the project to replace my roof with a new one, and a lot of other useful information. Another thing I took in consideration was that Patriot does not subcontract the actual work on replacing the roof, they will provide a lien release from their supplier. They also provide information on the company's license, insurance coverage, and contractors bond. I was given a start date, delayed by weather, common around here at this time of year. I was informed of the new start date, by phone, and by letter. Miguel my project manager, arrived with his crew, made sure that barriers were set up to protect my property, addressed any concerns I might have. At the end of the work day the roof was protected against unforeseen elements, the driveway was cleaned and construction debris was put in the trailer. Miguel kept me updated on the progress status through out the project. He was very easy to talk to and answered all my questions. The crew was without a doubt very professional and hard working. They worked together as a team, and obviously were well trained. The project was completed in four days, I expected it to take a lot longer. Miguel made sure that the clean up was done, showed me pictures of the completed roof which looked amazing. A few days later Eberardo came out and inspected the roof. He was very thorough and answered all my questions. I was given a copy of the Patriot roofing warranty, and later received the warranty from the shingle manufacturer. "Great Company," I would not hesitate to recommend Patriot Roofing to anyone."

"Curtis is an anomaly among contractors. He arrived exactly when he said he would. Did a thorough inspection of the job. Provided a reasonable quote and had the work done in a timely manner. Half the contractors I contacted never replied and two never showed up for the appointments they set. I highly recommend DHT Construction and Roofing."

"We were so impressed with Blake who inspected our home today. He worked for a couple of hours and determined our home was safe and sound, and very dry. We were so thankful that he gave us an honest answer, even though it meant no sale for him. We would highly recommend them for an honest thorough inspection."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

These are some of the critical considerations when planning to make your home accessible:

  • How wide are your doorways, wheelchair ramps, hallways, and pathways? These should be at least 32 inches wide.

  • Which bathroom modifications will be necessary? 

  • Do you need to lower any cabinetry or other fixtures to make them accessible for wheelchair users?

  • Is there enough room to turn around in the shower?

  • Is there a second story of the home that requires a stair lift?

  • Is there proper lighting outside in the dark? If not, a floodlight may be necessary.

If you are considering buying a home with a cesspool, you will need to weigh the potential costs and hassles. Your primary decision will be whether to maintain the existing system or replace it. Maintaining a cesspool involves ongoing expenses for services like aeration, pumping, and cleaning. Alternatively, you could dismantle the system and replace it with a modern septic tank or connect to a public sewage line, which involves significant upfront costs. It is also crucial to check local and state regulations, as some jurisdictions require that cesspools be replaced before a home can be sold. Ultimately, you must decide for yourself if the financial investment and effort are worth it for the property in question.

Yes, mixing siding types will affect your home value, and in most cases, it will improve curb appeal and add to the value of your home. This is especially true if you get the benefit of the high-end appearance of brick or stone siding but save on siding costs by covering most of the exterior with more affordable vinyl or fiber cement.

There are some instances where a buyer may want to skip a home inspection, but this is not usually recommended. While home inspections are not always required as part of the homebuying or selling process, they are in the best interest of buyers. If you choose to skip the home inspection, be prepared to discover a home’s hidden secrets on your own over time.
