An evaluation of the home's windows, doors, walls, ceilings, floors, and stairs — and the clues they reveal.
The interior is more than cosmetics. Sticking doors, cracked walls, and uneven floors can be early signals of foundation movement or moisture problems. Pat evaluates windows, doors, walls, ceilings, floors, and stairs for function and for these tell-tale signs.
He checks that windows and doors operate properly, looks for water stains and cracks, and notes any conditions that point to a larger issue worth investigating.
