Atlanta home inspector, David Lelak provides Atlanta home inspections and he often runs across some things that are quite humorous. During this Atlanta home inspection David runs across Bubba the plumber and his use of duck tape, you know the old saying if it can’t be fixed with duck tape it can’t be fixed. Well so often it can’t be fixed. lol This home inspection item will definately be written up on the home inspection report for the potential home buyers.

The cost of a home inspection from a certified Georgia home inspector is very small when compared to the potential cost of troubles a simple home inspection might uncover.   I often find different items on almost every roof that I walk, most of the time it is not a big issue, but sometimes the entire roof may need replaced.  I also check in the attic, because one of the things that I have found is, if the roof has been leaking then you can have damage to the roof flooring, the insulation and the ceilings of the home.  I don’t know if you have checked the prices on a new roof or even roof repairs lately, but I just had mine replaced and it ran nearly $15,000. That’s a pretty big price to pay out simply because you didn’t get the house checked out. Before you agree to purchase your next home do yourself a great big favor and order a home inspection by a certified Atlanta home inspector. You will be glad you did in the long run.

 We also provide roof inspections for those who have just had roofing contractors come out and replace or repair their roof.  When we provide this service, we walk every area of the roof and the last roof inspection we provided we had over 60 pictures of items on a brand new roof.

As an Atlanta home inspector I try and get testimonials from my Atlanta home inspection clients.  I really like to do home inspections for the first time home buyer.  I not only go over different things that is wrong, but I enjoy going over the different items and maintenance issues that a new home owner will have.  I love taking the time to go over different questions that a new home owner has. 

Below is a testimonial from a first time home buyer, I hope you enjoy it.

I just wanted to take the time to tell everyone “Happy New Year” and may you be blessed in the upcoming year.  My family and I spent a great deal of the holiday time with our family and we feel very thankful that we have both our parents so close by.  I always try an look back over the last year and really reflect on what I am grateful about.  I’ve got a loving wife, two great kids, I’m healthy, I own my own business and I was able to stay busy, I have great friends from church and other places.  I am a very blessed man.

As a home inspector I love sharing tips and information with home owners and I ran across an article that listed several of the top home improvements that could be done for less than five hundred dollars.  When you’re trying to sell your home one of the best things to check is your curb appeal. 

1. Wall paper just one wall in a room – this alone can change the appearance of a room dramatically and yet still be affordable. 

2. Kitchen roll outs – take out the out dated shelves and add kitchen roll outs.  This is one of the most satisfying upgrades you can do.  It brings everything that was tucked away into sight.  (Don’t tell my wife, I can just see this being added to my honey do list!)  They say this only takes 15 minutes per rollout, Let me know your opinion.

3. Track lighting – this is another addition to our home that my wife wants to add.  Track lighting lets you put the lighting exactly where you want it.  My wife has an island that she wants to add this to.  (I see my list growing.)

4. Closet organized – The name of this one says it all.  Wire shelving is inexpensive and easy to install.  Organization is the key to happiness. 

5. Add curb appeal – transform your front entrance with small accents and minor changes. 

There you go 5 top home improvements that you can do without a lot of hassle and it won’t take a fortune to do it.  Now that I’ve given you this list I had better go get started on my own.  For your pre listing inspections be sure to give your Atlanta Home inspector a call today at 404-788-2581. 

Now if you’re like my wife, if I did all five of these to get it ready for sell, we may be rethinking the idea.

As the Atlanta Home Inspector I am constantly looking for home owner tips to help out new and old home owners alike.  I ran across this one from a guy by the name of Kent Keith from Fort Worth Texas. It was called cheap wall paper remover and is definately one of those things that I have never heard of. You use old fashioned windshield washer fluid, check out the rest of his Kent Keith’s blog for more information.

When you make a written offer on a home, you should insist that the contract state that the offer is contingent on a home inspection conducted by a qualified inspector. You will have to pay for the inspection yourself, but it could keep you from buying a house that will cost you far more in repairs down the road. If you are satisfied with the results of the inspection, then your offer can proceed.

As a home seller I would prefer to go ahead and get the pre listing inspection done a few months a head and then pick and chose those things that I want to repair.  Then I would get an estimate on the other items and adjust my house price accordingly.    Now a lot of folks don’t want to think this way, but the truth of the matter is most buyers are going to have a home nspection done and the details will come out either way, against you or for you.  Which would you rather, a pre listing inspection done before there is a deal on the table or after the deal is there at which point it could scare the buyer off, depending on who your home inspector is.  As a home inspector, I try to convey my findings in a neutral manner, but there are some out there who pride themselves on being an alarmist – deal killer.
