Tip: do NOT use a roof rake

Wednesday Feb 22, 2023
We all worry about our roof and potential leaking. However a roof rake is something you do not want to use. How much snow can a roof hold? Honestly, it’s been a while since Bob even saw that much snow! If you think there is a problem, call a home inspector or roofing professional to take a look. Remember the better you take care of your house, the better it will take care of you!

Pre-Listing or Post-Purchase Inspection
Thursday Feb 09, 2023
Thursday Feb 09, 2023
There is no such thing as a perfect house! Before selling your home, get a pre-listing inspection. If you purchased a home without an inspection contingency, get a post-purchase inspection. An inspection helps you know the condition of your home, allows you to fix items before any seller walks through, price your home to sell, and diminish any surprises with negotiating the sale of your home.
Remember the better you take care of your house, the better it will take care of you!
