"It was great working with Ed. He was available in a short notice and walked me through the inspection. He explained where the issues were and possible future issues if not repaired. As a first time home buyer, with Edâ s help, I definitely learned a lot during the inspection. Highly recommend working with Ed."

"Joseph at Pride Home Inspections did a wonderful job for us. We hired him to inspect a 1993 manufactured home. Despite the fact that there was a tenant, and belongings in the home, Joseph completed a thorough inspection. I was able to be with him or nearby throughout the inspection and he was able to explain much of what he found so that I could easily understand it. Additionally, his written report at the end was thorough, had the appropriate photos and was presented i a manner that made it easy to comprehend. This inspection will allow us to make repairs and improvements to the home so that it will continue to be a liveable home. . I would recommend Joseph without reservation and would use him again."

"I’m very glad I went with Smart Electric to fix our issue, involving outlets that were failing and power failures in a specific area of our home, even though the circuit breaker seemed okay. From the moment I contacted them I sensed professionalism, and immediately felt at ease. The person sent to fix the problem (Keith) was quick and thorough, and fixed the issue. When we experienced a similar issue some weeks later, same circuit, I called Smart Electric in a panic and they put Keith on the line, and we talked through it together. Keith remembered everything about my prior issue, including how the circuit in our home ran, and provided a solution I was able to complete on my own, saving me another visit and cost. He even let me know what I should do to ensure we don’t have another issue down the road, based on the load our home is designed to take on that circuit. I am very happy with Smart Electric and highly recommend them ... also, I think I may owe Keith dinner or something."

"Eduardo was extremely professional, timely, and responsive. He was very thorough in his appraisal and consistent in the way he used the comparables against my home. It was easy to see his methodology and approach. I didn't have any questions because his work was laid out very nicely."

"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."

"We contacted Diamond Roofing and Construction about what we thought was a leak originating in our roof. We had already had a plumber and a leak detection specialist out to find the source of the leak. Both stated it was likely the roof. Diamond Roofing responded promptly to an request through Angie's List and came out to inspect. They took their time and scoured the roof and the attic for a leak source. They replaced some shingles around some vents. There was not a clear culprit for the leak. We were hoping this did the trick. Unfortunately the leak continued. We got in touch with Diamond again and they promptly responded and came out again. They diligently searched and finally determined it was actually a leak from our shower!!! Despite a plumber being very certain it wasn't a plumbing issue. I cannot say enough great things about Diamond. They all worked so hard to find the leak and ended up not charging us anything despite all of their time and effort! I highly recommend Diamond Roofing and Construction."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

There are no strict rules for who is responsible for covering repair costs after a home inspection, as the issue is highly negotiable, except in cases of mandatory repairs. Major issues discovered during the inspection often lead to a renegotiation. The buyer might ask the seller to make the repairs as a condition of the sale, but it is more common for the buyer to use the estimated repair costs as leverage to lower the asking price. The seller may agree to lower the price to compensate the buyer or agree to fix the issues before the sale is complete. However, in a competitive real estate market, a seller might refuse to cover any repairs, knowing that other buyers may be willing to purchase the property as-is.

Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk—it’s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn’t a sure thing.

In most cases, no. The purpose of an inspection is to highlight any glaring issues with the property that the buyer might use to negotiate or want to rectify after closing, but there’s no law stating the inspection must pass. A buyer can accept any problems identified during a failed home inspection. The only exception would be lender-required repairs, which could hold up the mortgage.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

Pipes should be inspected regularly so you can catch any red flags early on. Common issues that you might run into with your pipes include clogs, damage like cracks and leaks, corrosion, or other signs of wear. When you stay on top of an inspection schedule, you'll avoid costly problems like burst pipes.
