That’s interesting about the warranties. I’ve run into a few jobs where the homeowner thought they were covered, but the fine print said otherwise bec...
Right there with you on the moisture meter. It’s amazing how much damage starts in those hidden spots. I’ve seen people skip the attic check because “...
I’ve inspected a lot of roofs where folks tried the zinc strip trick, and I’ll admit, it rarely works out the way they hope. Saw one last fall—nice ho...
Funny how the “invisible” stuff is always what saves your bacon. I’ve crawled through more attics than I care to admit, and it’s always the spots with...
