HAVE YOU HAD A HOME PHYSICAL CHECK-UP LATELY?

You probably wouldn't hesitate to bring your car in for it's 60,000 mile service check-up. A quick once over from your mechanic can catch rust, rot and failing systems. But what about your home? Your home is your largest single investment and asset. Homes cost significantly more today than just a few years ago and a well-maintained home will protect that investment. Your home is not unlike your automobile in that it undergoes wear and tear, routine maintenance is required. Often this normal wear and tear will go unnoticed by the homeowner. A home that has not been recently inspected may have undiscovered, minor or major maintenance items that could lead to a significant financial expense to repair or even replace if not discovered.

The timing couldn't be better to prepare "Your Castle" thoroughly to weather the upcoming seasonal changes and move into the new millennium with peace of mind.

It's a fact that 90% of homes today have some type of electrical condition that could pose a potential safety hazard. Moisture intrusion damage and plumbing leaks are the largest repair expense of homeowners today. More than 66% of Heating and air-conditioning units have deficiencies that cost consumers money in higher utility bills and often pose health and safety concerns.
