A person in the home inspection field must possess a broad range of knowledge and depth of experience. Unlike contractors and municipal inspectors, we must be familiar with materials and methods no longer in use, some dating back 150 years or more. Some of the items below are common, others are not. All of the items below we have inspected in over fifteen years of business.
If you have questions regarding any contruction methods or materials, please call our office. We love to share our knowledge. It's what we do!
