Every home should have at least an initial inspection to evaluate the condition of the plumbing, safety of the systems, and items that may need to be replaced.

Common issues with the exterior of homes include excess moisture penetration, algae and mildew growth on vinyl siding, inadequate caulking, and/or weather-stripping around windows, doors, and wall surfaces. These items need to be corrected or repaired, so they do not become worse, which could eventually damage the structure.

Issues with the roof are typically indicated by old or damaged roof shingles, improper flashing, and poor drainage. If the roof is old, it will likely need to be replaced. Some minor repairs can be performed to small sections of roof tile, and to correct leaking vents.

Improper water drainage can lead to significant damage to your home. Water and excess moisture cause water penetration into basements or crawlspaces.
