exteriors

A walk around the exterior of the house is very important to get a feel for the way the home is sitting in relation to the landscape and the drainage around the property. It is important to check the grading of the lot and whether the down spouts are doing their job in directing water away from the foundation. The construction and the condition of the wall finishes, the condition of the soffit, fascia, the condition of all windows and doors will be inspected.  The construction of all decks and porches will be thoroughly examined for structural integrity and safety if access under the structure is obtainable.
