ROOF & DECK INSPECTIONS FOR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Buyers of real property in California should always exercise due diligence when it comes to buying a home. A home inspector should be retained to perform a general inspection of the property, a septic system contractor should inspect the septic if applicable, a roof consultant like ourselves should inspect the roof system, and if the home you are considering purchasing has a deck or balcony made of wood or has waterproofing on it, William Leys Waterproofinging Consultants LLC should inspect the deck for structural and waterproofing issues.

In the past we’ve seen buyers purchase a home with a deck, forgo an inspection on it only to discover later that the deck is unstable, doesn’t meet current codes and now needs expensive repairs. The average deck build these days can run around $125-$175 a square foot.

Inspections are typically $350-500 for a single family property and we inspect all decks on the home, complete with a full report and photograph’s documenting our findings.

Nationally syndicated home inspector columnist Barry Stone paid us a high compliment calling our work “very impressive”.
