View a few photographs of conditions uncovered in clients homes
during recent inspections. All of our reports
include color digital photographs to more clearly describe the conditions.
Don't you hope your new or existing home doesn't have any conditions like these?
But if it does, wouldn't you rather know about it now and be able to make an
informed decision on the best course of action for your safety and the
maintenance of the home?
We have divided the photographs up by the home's age.
Shown on this page are current homes. Then below are links to separate
pages for New Home Warranty Photos, and then Older Homes Photos, for your viewing convenience.
