- Safety – the key thing we’re always on the look out for is safety. Building practices from the past didn’t consider the ways we live in homes today, we’re also a lot smarter now and know that some practices were just dangerous to begin with. For example the heights of risers and handrails on stairs that are too high or too low can trip people up and lead to a terrible fall.
- Value – homes need to be maintained to keep their value. If maintenance is delayed too much bad things begin to happen. For example paint that is allowed to chip away not only makes the home look bad but can also allow water to get into the structure and start destroying it. Water is the worst enemy of any home and once it has a foothold it will begin destroying everything in comes in contact with.
- Habitability – we deserve a comfortable home that has heat, water, electricity and that’s structurally sound. We’ll inspect all the critical systems that make it up and let you know what we find.
