California's Mandatory Balcony Inspection Laws - Use this "Decision Tree" to see if California SB 721 and California SB 326 apply to your building!

And if you’re like most homeowners, you are worried about the condition of your home and want to keep it maintained as well as possible, given your financial resources. All this is great, as it makes it more likely than not, that if your [...]
Unfortunately, a home’s basement and crawl space (that area beneath the first floor – yes – the one you never go into….) are typically exposed to moisture and unhealthy mold, mildew, and fungus, and even infestations by bugs, termites, mice, and rats. All this can take a bite out of the value of your home and expose your family to health hazards! What is a [...]
