J.B. Simpson Home Inspection

Did you know that deteriorated paint isn't just an aesthetic issue?

Paint and stain actually protect building materials from moisture damage. When that protective coating begins to peel, crack, or wear away, wood and other exterior surfaces become more vulnerable to water intrusion, rot, and premature deterioration.

Keeping up with exterior paint isn't just about curb appeal. It's one of the simplest ways to help protect your home and avoid more costly repairs down the road.

A little maintenance today can save you a lot of money tomorrow.

If you see separation like this between your home's concrete slab and the porch or patio slab, don't ignore it.

This type of separation can be an indication that movement has occurred. If that movement is still active, the gap may continue to grow over time.

The good news? It doesn't automatically mean there's a major structural problem. It does mean the cause should be evaluated by a qualified contractor to determine whether the movement has stopped and what repairs, if any, are needed.

Sometimes the smallest details can provide important clues about what's happening with a home.

Looking for another easy way to improve your home's energy efficiency?

Check the weather stripping around your exterior doors.

Over time, weather stripping can become cracked, torn, or compressed, allowing conditioned air to escape and outside air to sneak in. That means your HVAC system has to work harder to keep your home comfortable.

The good news is that replacing damaged weather stripping is an inexpensive maintenance item that can help reduce energy loss, improve comfort, and even lower your utility bills.

Sometimes the simplest home maintenance tasks can make the biggest difference.

You may have heard us talk about faced and unfaced insulation before.

Although it’s not a requirement, we strongly recommend having faced insulation in your crawlspace, because the paper facing acts as a v***r barrier.

Crawlspaces can be humid, and the unfaced insulation can soak up that humidity and hold moisture against the subfloor.

Here's another inexpensive maintenance item that can help you save on your electric bill!

The insulation around your HVAC refrigerant line plays an important role in keeping your system operating efficiently. If it's missing or damaged, your system has to work harder than it should.

The good news? It's an easy and affordable maintenance item that's often overlooked. A few dollars spent replacing worn insulation can help your HVAC system perform at its best.
