There are the words "Home Services" that go along with the company name, West Egg Inspections. This may include some simple home maintenance, light remodeling, lawn mowing, snow removal, and sometimes every once in a while making picture frames. I've had several friends ask me about the frames I make for the puzzles that are mounted on my garage wall. I thought a YouTube video would be a good way to show how I cut the materials and assemble the frame.

I've landed my first major project as a HUD consultant!!! Very excited to manage and oversee the remodeling of a 100+ year old home in East St. Paul where the buyer has agreed to ~$75,000 in repairs and upgrades. Even as a teenager I've always loved working on homes with my Dad and I've continued that passion with the ten different homes I've owned during my life-to-date. This new venture allows me to work with contractors and feel that high while having money come in vs. money go out. It is going to look beautiful when it is finished.

WE KNOW INSPECTIONS. InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector® What is a home inspection? A home inspection is a visual examination of the home's major structure, systems and components that are visible and safely accessible. The inspector should substantially adhere to a standards of practice that outlines what should be covered during a general home inspection, as well as what is excluded. The inspector should provide you with a written report, which may include photos and/or recommendations, of his or her findings of the inspection. Why should you consider a home inspection? Ensure the home you buy is a good investment Home inspections provide an opportunity for a buyer to identify any major issues with a home before closing. The first clue that a home inspection is important is that it can be used as a contingency in a contract with the seller. This contingency provides that if a home inspection reveals significant defects, a prospective buyer typically can back out of the purchase offer, free of penalty, within a specific timeframe. A home is likely the biggest purchase you will make It's important to understand the condition of your investment. A non-invasive examination will be provided of the home’s accessible structure, systems and components. While a home inspection is not a prediction of future conditions, and cannot reveal every concern that exists (or ever could exist), it will significantly reduce anxiety by arming the buyer with the knowledge needed to make an informed home-buying decision. Understand maintenance costs before purchase A home requires ongoing maintenance and this will require money. Things wear out and break. When putting together a budget for buying a home, it will depend on the home’s condition. A newer home is less likely to need maintenance than an older home. The summary page will highlight conditions found in the home as follows: Minor Concern (Maintenance & Information) Moderate Concern (Attention Recommended) Major Concern (Critical / Important) Ensure that your home will be a safe place to live Safety issues such as electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC systems, broken windows, etc. is the second most important item to look at during a home inspection. (Structure and foundation are No. 1) If safety issues are discovered during a home inspection, a buyer could go back to the seller (via a repair request), and ask for either 1) the safety hazards to be fixed or 2) receive an appropriate credit towards the home price if the item will not be fixed by the seller.

Radon Testing No matter where you are in America, your home may be exposed to dangerous radon gas. Radon is a natural, radioactive gas which is produced when uranium in the Earth’s crust decays, and turns into radium. Outdoors, radon will naturally dissipate harmlessly into the atmosphere as it rises through the crust. But in homes, it can become trapped, which is dangerous for the health of you and your family. Radon is colorless and odorless, and it is extremely carcinogenic. According to the EPA, radon is the second leading contributor to the development of lung cancer, just before smoking. For this reason, regular radon testing is key whether you’re a homeowner, or you’re interested in purchasing a home.

This kind of inspection is a full look at your home. Make sure you know what you’re getting and opt for a full evaluation before your builder’s warranty expires.
