Why Is a Home Inspection So Important?

August 8, 2013 by Lara

No one enjoys that annual doctor visit – the check-up  – the  inspection that reveals  what’s aged, sagged, and not working like it should be or used to.  Home inspections are often met with the same foreboding and dread.  But really, both of these inspectors and detectors are doing you favor in the long run […]

Where You Buy Is as Important as What You Buy

January 24, 2012 by Lara

Dorothy learned some valuable lessons from her incredible adventures traveling down the yellow brick road to see The Wizard Of Oz. She learned that everything she ever really needs can be found right outside her own front door and in her own back yard. I love living and working here in North Carolina and I’m […]

Walk This Way?

November 15, 2011 by Lara

When staging your home for sale, you want it to be inviting and friendly to all who enter.   From the front door to eye-popping entryway, to the cozy kitchen, and more, your efforts are designed with buyers in mind. But there’s one group of potential homeowners you may not be considering – those older “retiree” […]

Hiring the Right Roofer

August 4, 2011 by Lara

As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, replacing your roof is a complex and critical home improvement project – shingle selection, ventilation considerations, insulation issues.  But no roofing decision is as important as this one: choosing the right roofer.  And since there are more roofing contractors than you can shake a stick (or a […]

Avoid a Roof Goof!

July 21, 2011 by Lara

It’s likely that your roof is an asphalt shingle roof.  “Asphalt shingles possess an overwhelming share of the U.S. steep-slope roofing market,” according to The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). But that doesn’t mean replacing your roof isn’t fraught with important and sometimes confusing decisions.  It’s kind of like saying, “The overwhelming majority of Americans […]

Up on the Housetop

July 19, 2011 by Lara

Let’s hope it’s just Santa’s reindeer pausing up on your housetop and that there’s nothing about your roof that will give a home inspector pause.  In my last two blogs I provided a home inspection primer, and right at the top of every inspectors list is the top of your home for sale – the […]

Falling…In Love with Your Home

June 14, 2011 by Lara

Yesterday, a woman I know tripped on loose brick right in front of her door. Today, she’s an achy mess, and she’s lucky she didn’t suffer a more serious injury as she missed hitting her head on the concrete stoop by about an inch. That got me to thinking about home safety, especially as it applies […]

Taking the “Sub” Out of Subcontractor

February 16, 2011 by askforlara

So you’ve made the decision to undertake a home (for sale) improvement project. You did all the right things.  You had a few different contractors bid the job. You checked references, contacted the Better Business Bureau, verified proof of insurance, and even went to see some of the chosen contractor’s work. So who is this […]
