Remodel Jobs

In between Home Inspections I do complete some remodeling jobs. Just completed a bathroom in Arlington Heights that had walls and floors of ceramic tile that I had to rip out. I rebuilt the leaky shower base and tiled it in a stone look then tiled the entire floor in a 2′ x 2′ honed sandstone.  I also tiled the shower walls with a nice tile that had a cool border. I should have pictures in the renovations section shortly. The painted walls are a funky green that was chosen by the client. The whole job sure turned out nice.

I am installing new software for my Home Inspection Reporting.  This will allow me to produce the report on-site (via e-mail) once the inspection is complete. I will be offering special deals on Home Inspections during my learning curve of using the new software. Call me for details.

Home Inspections are an extremely important part of the home buying process.  Make sure you know what you are buying!  Get a Professional Home Inspection not a “cheap” one!

Home Inspections are important for all homes

I just performed a Home Inspection in Glenview for a $1.3 million home and in the far reaches of the attic there was mold.  I had to crawl through the insulation to get under the ductwork to check out the entire attic and low and behold, mold was lurking in the far corner.  It was serious enough to require removal of a large section of the roof (shingles and all) for replacement.  This home was only 5 years old. The culprit was lack of ventilation in that section of the attic.  The moral is, make sure you get an inspector that will go the extra mile to check things out for you. Most inspectors would have never found that. So get a good inspector for any home you buy.

Don’t forget the Home Inspection!

Home Inspections are a vital part of the home purchase process.  It is also a vital part of selling your home.  Don’t put your house on the market without a pre-listing Home Inspection.  This process will help you find problems that you never knew existed and allows you to remedy them before someone makes an offer and has a Home Inspection performed just to find the problems that you could have avoided up front.  Your potential buyers will be more impressed if the Inspection finds no problems to be concerned about.

For the best Home Inspections with competitive pricing, call me for an appointment or just to discuss.

I also Inspect investment properties and bid on the rehab cost.

Foreclosed Properties in Abundance

Now is a great time for investors and families to consider Foreclosed properties.  There are many, many homes available that are in good shape and in not-so-good shape.  The best deals are the ones needing work.  I can help you find them as well as give you an estimate on what it would take to fix it up for yourself or for an investment.

If you are going to occupy the home yourself you can get an FHA loan with very little down (if you qualify) plus they offer a 203k loan that will give you the money needed to do the renovations while living in it.

The rates right now are the lowest ever!  Get in while you can!

My website has the details or you can call to discuss.
