A nice email from Lisa J about her inspection report: "Thank you, Peter! You are a true expert and a fine person, too! Blessings, Lisa J."

As you put away your holiday decorations, check to make sure you are using a heavy duty exterior extension cord for outside decorations, and make sure that there are no frays in any of the wires that could cause a short. Squirrels and mice are attracted to the heat from the electric cords and may have chewed them.

As you recover from the holidays, it may be a good time for a home check up. We look at grading issues, vegetation and trees, exterior siding, windows, doors, and roof condition. At the end we will give you a detailed report and will discuss their integrity and value to your home. We recommend that you come along as we do the inspection so you will understand better when you see the report.

One of the top things you should do before putting your home on the market is to have a home inspection. It is much better to identify issues before hand than to have a buyer surprised by an inspection report later.

It is Fall, and at least this weekend, it is getting cooler. That means that the mice are coming. 90% of homes have mice. It is a good time to check for openings in your foundation, around windows and doors, and to fill any cracks where they could come in. Or you can call us, and we will check for openings and signs of mice with our infrared camera.
