"I recently had the pleasure of working with Larry and John for a home inspection, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, they were thorough, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. John took the time to walk me through every detail, explaining what was being inspected and why it mattered. Johnâ s keen eye for detail and commitment to quality gave me great confidence in the home I was purchasing. Communication was seamless, and the final report was clear, comprehensive, and easy to understand. John even provided helpful tips for future maintenance, which was a great added touch. If you're looking for a home inspector who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Larry/John."

"Matt Barnes is amazing! We are first time home buyers and were worried about hiring someone who wouldn’t be thorough… We were astonished at how thorough he was. He found numerous issues, we ended up not purchasing the house because of structural damage and plan on using Matt for the next home! He provided us with a very detailed 32 page report that went over everything from the front porch, to the oven, to hand railings."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

If you’ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn’t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home’s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional plumber near you to make an assessment.

Inspections for new construction may not be legally required, but you should consider them a must if you’re buying a new home. The quality of the construction can vary widely by builder, and many inspections, even for brand-new homes, can uncover problems with framing, structural components, mechanicals, appliances, and more. Professional inspection reports give you leverage to push the associated repair costs to the builder rather than paying for them yourself, so they’re always worthwhile, if only for the peace of mind they provide.

You should schedule a fireplace inspection at least once a year, per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). However, this is the minimum requirement even if you’re diligent with fireplace maintenance between uses. If you suspect your fireplace is malfunctioning, schedule one sooner to avoid fire hazards or the release of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide in your home.

Federal law doesn’t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it’s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.

Yes, your homeowners insurance can cover water damage. Just how much your plan covers depends on the company and plan you chose, so read the fine print of your homeowners insurance plan to see how much your insurance company might cover, document the damage, and contact them to submit a claim and have an assessor inspect the damage.
