In this month's home inspection picture there is a lot going on. If you were to replace this water heater it would cost probably under $1,000. But instead of replacing it they changed out the flue (which has the wrong pitch by the way) and left it leaking in their basement.

The life expectancy of the average water heater is only 8-12 years. Make sure your water heater does not look like this one! 

Are you looking for roofers in Issaquah WA? What are some things you should look for or do to ensure you get a good roofer?

After a home inspection I often get questions like these. Here are just a few simple tips:

• As for a certificate of Insurance. Roofing is high liability work and roofers generally have very specific insurance.
• Research them online. Also, check with the BBB.
• See if you can take a drive past one of their current jobs. No stalking or trespassing of course, but it at least can indicate how your roofing job will look.
• Of course, contact me and have me inspect their work to make sure it is done properly!
