Overall

This is your home inspection guy.

We have used 3 prior home inspectors, and by far this guy was the best. He was very thorough, came at 12 and left at 2:40. Didn't miss a thing. Checked for mold, termites and the chimney.Would highly recommend.

On the Level Home Inspections

Kitchen Remodeling
Ask about the formaldehyde content of pressed wood products, including building materials, cabinetry, and furniture before you purchase them.
Bathroom Remodeling
Improvements for accessibility to a Disabled Person (e.g., remodeling kitchens and baths for wheelchair access, lowering kitchen cabinets, installing wider doors and exterior ramps, etc.).
Flooring
Resilient floor tiles (vinyl asbestos, asphalt, and rubber), the backing on vinyl sheet flooring, and adhesives used for installing floor tile. Sanding tiles can release fibers. So may scraping or sanding the backing of sheet flooring during removal.
Door Installation/Replacement
If you suspect you are being subjected to carbon monoxide poisoning get fresh air immediately. Open windows and doors for more ventilation, turn off any combustion appliances, and leave the house. You could lose consciousness and die from carbon monoxide poisoning if you do nothing. It is also important to contact a doctor immediately for a proper diagnosis. Remember to tell your doctor that you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning is causing your problems. Prompt medical attention is important. Some symptoms from combustion pollutants - headaches, dizziness, sleepiness, coughing, and watery eyes - may also occur because of common medical problems. These medical problems include colds, the flu, or allergies. Similar symptoms may also occur because of other indoor air pollutants. Contact your doctor for a proper diagnosis.
Drywalls
The Airtight Drywall Approach and the Simple CS system are other methods to control air and water vapor movement in a residential building. These systems rely on the nearly airtight installation of sheet materials such as drywall or gypsum board on the interior as the main barrier, and carefully sealed foamboard and/or plywood on the exterior.
Basement Remodeling
Framing
Ceiling Joist: One of a series of parallel framing members used to support ceiling loads and supported in turn by larger beams, girders or bearing walls. Also called roof joists.
Tile Installation
Ceiling Fans
If you’re planning for the long term, plant trees that lose their leaves in the fall on the east, south and west side of your house.
Fireplaces
The blower door is a very powerful fan that is attached to the outside door,which pulls out air to lower the pressure inside. It is best to have the calibrated fan used to get an accurate reading of exact spots of unsealed cracks and openings that allow air to come in. Some inspectors may also use a smoke pencil to detect leaks. The furnace must be off during this test. If you have a fireplace, the damper must be closed and all ashes removed to prevent them from blowing around. The blower door test creates in effect 20 mph winds blowing outside the walls of the house. Turn off any fires from the fireplace and stove. Make sure to have all the windows down and outside doors secured during the test. Open all the interior doors in the house except the closet doors.
Staircases
Carpeting
Household products and furnishings such as paints, solvents, air fresheners, hobby supplies, dry-cleaned clothing, aerosol sprays, adhesives, and fabric additives used in carpeting and furniture which can release volatile organic compounds.
Garage Remodeling
Skylight Repair/Replacement
Structural alterations and reconstruction (e.g., repair or replacement of structural damage, chimney repair, additions to the structure, installation of an additional bath(s), skylights, finished attics and/or basements, repair of termite damage and the treatment against termites or other insect infestation, etc.).
Cabinet Installation

Room Additions
New Construction
Foundation Installation

Landscaping and Fencing

Landscaping
Fix leaks and seepage. If water is entering the house from the outside, your options range from simple landscaping to extensive excavation and waterproofing. (The ground should slope away from the house). Water in the basement can result from the lack of gutters or a water flow toward the house. Water leaks in pipes or around tubs and sinks can provide a place for biological pollutants to grow.
Fencing
Be sure the door knob cover is sturdy enough not to break, but allows a door to be opened quickly by an adult in case of emergency. By restricting access to potentially hazardous rooms in the home, door knob covers could help prevent many kinds of injuries. To prevent access to swimming pools, door locks should be placed high out of reach of young children. Locks should be used in addition to fences and door alarms. Sliding glass doors, with locks that must be re-secured after each use, are often not an effective barrier to pools.
Gate Replacement/Installation
Tree Removal
Driveways
Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then I will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. The heating, air-conditioning,plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space.
Excavation
Retaining Walls
Masonry is commonly used for the walls of buildings, retaining walls and monuments. Brick and concrete block are the most common types of masonry in use in industrialized nations and may be either weight-bearing or a veneer. Concrete blocks, especially those with hollow cores, offer various possibilities in masonry construction. They generally provide great compressive strength, and are best suited to structures with light transverse loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement (typically rebar) offers much greater tensile and lateral strength to structures.
Irrigation Systems
Insurance companies often give discounts for safety and security systems including smoke detectors, burglar alarms or dead-bolt locks. Some companies offer to cut your premium by as much as 15 or 20 percent if you install a sophisticated sprinkler system and a fire and burglar alarm that rings at the police, fire or other monitoring stations. These systems aren't cheap and not every system qualifies for a discount. Before you buy such a system, find out what kind your insurer recommends, how much the device would cost and how much you'd save on premiums.

Window Installation/Replacement
Floor Plan: The basic layout of building or addition, which includes placement of walls, windows and doors as well as dimensions.
Decks
6 Use Window Guards and Safety Netting to help prevent falls from windows, balconies, decks, and landings. Window guards and safety netting for balconies and decks can help prevent serious falls.
Patios
Major landscape work and site improvement (e.g., patios, decks and terraces that improve the value of the property equal to the dollar amount spent on the improvements or required to preserve the property from erosion).
Gutters
8. Take time to examine the condition of all windows, doors, gutters and steps. Look out for peeling paint and cracks in plaster.
Siding
Changes for aesthetic appeal and elimination of obsolescence (e.g., new exterior siding, adding a second story to the home, covered porch, stair railings, attached carport).
Porches
Residential Roof Repair
Feathering Strips: Tapered wood filler strips placed along the butt edges of old wood shingles to create a level surface when re-roofing over existing wood shingle roofs. Also called "horsefeathers."
Residential Roof Replacement/Installation
Find out from your insurance agent or company representative what steps you can take to make your home more resistant to windstorms and other natural disasters. You may be able to save on your premiums by adding storm shutters, reinforcing your roof or buying stronger roofing materials. Older homes can be retrofitted to make them better able to withstand earthquakes. In addition, consider modernizing your heating, plumbing and electrical systems to reduce the risk of fire and water damage.

Painting
Insulation
An energy audit is an assessment of a home, building, or business that measures how much energy is being consumed, any existing problems where energy is lost, and recommendations of things that can be corrected to increase efficiency, thus saving you money over time. This may be done by a professional using infrared cameras and blower doors. An infrared camera measures the surface temperature variations using light from the heat spectrum. This helps pinpoint leaks and places where the need to add insulation is, since warm areas show as white and cooler spots are black.This is the thermographic inspection. It can be done on the exterior or interior of the building. Better results come from the interior scan because a windy day may make it harder to track heat loss on the outside wall. Heat does not always move in a straight line, so it may not be the point of origin for the loss. A thermographic scan may be run with the blower door test being done.
Masonry
2. Cracked or crumbling masonry is susceptible to water penetration. Deterioration in older brick and mortar walls often indicates moisture damage over time, from leaking ground water or poor drainage around the base of the home.
Caulking
Energy conservation improvements (e.g., new double pane windows, steel insulated exterior doors, insulation, solar domestic hot water systems, caulking and weatherstripping, etc.).
Electrical Work
Look for a registered contractor Your contractor will supply and install your equipment. Proper installation is essential for the safe, efficient and economical operation of your system. Electric equipment must be installed by a licensed electrician and all electrical work must be inspected.
