It’s A New Home. What Could Be Wrong With It?

When you are buying a home, it is important to have as much information as possible to make an informed decision. A home inspection can provide you with detailed information about the condition of the property and any potential problems that may need to be fixed. This is especially important when buying a newly built home. While builders may do their best to build a quality home, things can and will go wrong. By having a new home inspection done, you can catch most any potential issues before they become larger problems.

What Do Home Inspectors Look For?

When buying a home, the most crucial thing is to ensure that you understand what you’re purchasing. Some people might say that the house looks good. But wouldn’t it be worth your peace of mind knowing that your newly bought home will be there for you and your family for years to come?

A home inspection is a non-invasive visual assessment of the home, reporting its current condition on the day of the inspection. The typical home inspection lasts between two to five hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. A thorough home inspection offers you the understanding you need to make a confident and informed purchasing decision. Whether it is for informational purposes or to grant you the opportunity to request repair work from the seller, you will have a very good idea of what you’re buying.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT HOME INSPECTORS LOOK FOR?

WATER DAMAGE

Water accumulation can cause a host of issues that are red flags for the homebuyer. The home inspector will check the exterior and interior for water damage indications.  Signs of water damage can be discolorations on the ceiling or walls, or a musty odor can be a sign of mold growing in damp areas. The inspector will search for water concerns, such as a negative grade toward the house, standing water, faulty downspouts, and more.

FOUNDATION ISSUES

Visible signs of a compromised home’s structural integrity may include cracks and gaps in basement walls, and between the walls and floors, uneven door frames, windows, and floors, nail pops in the walls, and gaps around window and door frames. The home inspector will report on the home’s foundation, explaining any issues, so you understand what you’re buying.

ROOF DAMAGE

With correct safety measures, the majority of home inspectors will walk the roof to look for roofing problems. Others use drones to perform this task. The inspector will be looking for the roof covering damages, deteriorated chimney flashing, plumbing vent leaks, leakages around the skylights, and loose gutters. These types of issues can also be found inside the attic and even moisture discoloration or staining of the ceiling and walls.

These are a few of the problems the home inspector will be looking for during the process. The home inspection is an essential step in the home buying process and worth the time and cost. You want to have comfort and confidence that you’re buying a secure investment for you and your family.

TOP 2022 HOME IMPROVEMENTS TO ENHANCE AN EVOLVING LIFESTYLE

Home is more than just where the heart is. Whether creating an office, a socially distant gathering space, or making room for a loved one to move in, people are using their homes in ways they may never have before. Experts predict homeowners will focus on upgrades and home improvements that fit this evolving lifestyle in 2022 and beyond. In fact, the Leading Indicator for Remodeling Activity from Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies predicts a steady and significant rise in remodeling projects that is projected to reach $401 billion of annual spending by the third quarter of 2022.

If you’re looking to make some moves with home renovation projects in the New Year, here are five trending upgrades for 2022 that will have a lasting impact.

REFRESH THE STAIRCASE

You probably don’t spend much time using staircases compared to the rest of the house, so staircase design isn’t likely to top of mind. However, if you have dated carpet on your stairs, you have a prime opportunity to revamp a central component of your home for a small investment. It could be as simple as installing new treads, selecting new paint for the walls, and maybe a new stain on the trim. To go the extra mile, local ironworkers are happy to custom fabricate a handrail. If you have kids in the house or older family members moving in, keep safety in mind on stairs to help them navigate your home with ease.

MODERNIZE THE BATHROOM

It’s amazing how the right paint and new hardware can revitalize a row of sad old cabinets. With no major construction involved, you can transform your bathroom vanity over the course of a weekend. Select new hardware that looks bold and stately (think chrome bars, not little plastic knobs) to match the tones in your countertop, and remove the cabinets and give them a fresh, neutral shade. If you’re over the white-on-white bathroom look, try a dramatic dark finish that will make your new hardware and fixtures really pop.

INSTALL NEW FLOORING

Flooring is quite literally the foundation of design, so it must strike a blend of fashion and function. Research flooring with a good combination of durability and timeless aesthetics, like the Duravana hybrid resilient flooring, a waterproof and eco-friendly product exclusive to LL Flooring. Duravana’s range of styles is designed to replicate the natural color, grain, and texture of real hardwood, with more unique plank patterns than traditional vinyl plank or laminate. Plus, its easy-click installation makes it DIY-friendly. Learn more at LLFlooring.com.

ORGANIZE THE MUDROOM

A little bit of organization in an entryway can make a huge difference in the functionality and flow of the home. Start with simple shoe and boot storage, like a DIY bench or wall rack, so those items don’t spill out to hallways and bedrooms. Wall hooks are helpful for when guests arrive. And if you don’t have a true mudroom, a bit of wall-mounted storage can make even the slimmest entryway feel intentional and inviting.

DEFINE OUTDOOR SPACES

Once the snow melts, adding a dedicated lounge to your back or side yard can feel like adding a whole room’s worth of square footage to your house. It could be as easy as a new patio set and a fire pit with some gravel or simple flagstone landscaping. Gabion baskets, framed with good-looking lumber, can be made into a simple divider or group seating. Pergolas with climbing plants continue to be popular. This outdoor space can become a year-round retreat that everyone will love. (BPT)

Wise Home Inspections Wind Mitigation Report

A Wind Mitigation inspection is a way to save big bucks on your insurance premium if your home has certain features that reduce risk of damage or loss in a hurricane. Since 2003 insurance companies in Florida have been required to give insurance discounts on a whole range of items if they are present. Savings of up to 40% are possible!

These are particularly important in south Florida which has been designated a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Over 90% of homes have one or more features that provide added protection against windstorms and may qualify for some insurance discounts. Moreover, if your house is in Broward or Miami-Dade and was built after Hurricane Andrew (1994) or in other counties after 2002 it will usually have been built with many wind resistive construction features that are likely to qualify you for significant discounts.
