Mature trees in a property….they can cause issues. Not only with roots that can invade a main sewer line, but they can cause issues with slabs and foundations. Last but not least, when the tree is damaged or aged, damage to a home is possible. These are all things that a home inspector should bring to your attention.

Lights Over the pool… looks cool! But why take a chance? It only takes a loose connection or for someone to grab it, and serious injury could result. Practice good #poolsafety and #homesafety

Windows… whether dual pane, single pane, vinyl, wood, or metal, there is always need for maintenance. Sealing the gaps around windows can help to prevent moisture intrusion into the walls. If moisture gets to the framing, it may swell and limit the use of your window. It may get stuck, or you may not be able to fully close it.

Blue tape areas on a new build or remodel are usually cosmetic in nature. It is important that you walk with the builder and tape areas that you want to have addressed. A good tip is to take pictures of the areas so that you can verify that they have been addressed after the tape has been removed.
