Going into attics during the course of an inspection is always adventure. You never know what you’re going to run into… literally! In older homes especially, shining the light ahead of you before you stick your melon up there is always a great idea! Yesterday I inspected a home that was built in ...

Screen enclosures are nice. They offer UV protection up to 75% on some products, and from mosquito's and other insects if they are sealed up tightly. There are a lot of them here in Florida. Some people just close in their back porch or lanai areas, but the vast majority of them here are pool cag...
