What we look for at the panel
The electrical panel gets a careful, hands-off look during every inspection.
When it's accessible and reasonable to do so, we remove the panel cover for a visual review. We note things like labeling, rust, signs of water entry, signs of overheating and anything that looks out of place.
We don't repair, adjust or test circuits inside the panel, and we never guess at fixes. If something catches our eye, the report recommends evaluation by a licensed electrician.
Share this with a seller getting ready to list.

Selling this spring? Start in January
Sellers planning a spring listing have one quiet advantage right now: time.
A pre-listing inspection gives you a clear look at your home's condition before buyers ever schedule a showing. You can decide what to repair, what to disclose and what to price in, without a deadline breathing down your neck.
It also means fewer surprises once you're under contract, and a smoother conversation with your agent.
[COMPANY NAME] offers pre-listing inspections across [SERVICE AREA], with your report in [REPORT TURNAROUND].
DM "HEADSTART" for our pre-listing details.

Term of the week: ice dam
Term of the week: ice dam.
An ice dam is a ridge of ice along the lower edge of a roof. Snow melts higher up where the roof is warmer, runs down, then refreezes at the colder eaves. Water can back up behind that ridge and work its way under shingles.
During an inspection, we may note heavy icicles, ceiling stains near exterior walls, or attic clues suggesting warm air is escaping upward.
If ice dams are forming on your home, skip the hammer and call a licensed roofer or insulation pro to evaluate the cause.
Save this for the next big snowfall.
