"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

Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don’t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn’t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.

Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. 

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

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
