HOUSEMASTER HOME INSPECTIONS SERVING METAIRIE - COVINGTON

When HouseMaster Serving Metairie-Covington inspects exterior elements, we check the visible siding and trim, windows, doors, garages, porches, decks, stairs, and railings. We also assess proper construction and function, looking for damage, missing components, or other conditions that might lead to infiltration or functional concerns.

For the interior portion of the home inspection, we inspect visible areas of all walls, ceilings, stairways, representative windows and doors, and attic areas. We look for signs of leakage, damage, sagging, or other structural concerns. We will operate windows to determine function. In accessible attics, besides assessing structural components, we note insulation and ventilation conditions.

Along with inspecting visible load-bearing framing components, foundation walls, slabs, piers and columns, and major structural components, we assess visible, accessible structural components for function and the presence of damage, decay, or defects.
