Each day we perform home inspections in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and other surrounding areas. While not every inspection results in a dramatic discovery, when we do find a serious issue, it protects the potential home buyer from spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on expensive repairs later on. With over 34 years of construction experience, we know where to look, what to look for , and we’re trained to spot problems or issues that are easily missed by an untrained eye. Each month we’ll post discoveries made during our home inspections that saved home buyers significant amounts of money future and headaches.
November Home Inspection Discovery 1: – The “Do It Yourself Home Addition”
The featured discovery this month was from a home with an addition that was not performed by a professional contractor, but a by a previous homeowner. Unfortunately, no permits were pulled, no code inspections and the work was not performed properly. You can see from the pic below that the floor was sheeted using particle board.
November Home Inspection Discovery 2: – “Why Are The Heating & Cooling Bills So High”
The ductwork in the attic of this home was not connected to anything, the previous homeowner was essential heating and cooling the attic!
