Choosing the right Home Inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods and yes, different pricing. All of our inspectors hold Associats Degrees in Building Inspection Technology which required classes in Building Codes, Electrical Codes, Mechanical Codes, Plumbing Codes, Engineering Classes, Plan Review Classes and technical Report writing classes. All new employeees go through an extensive consistetency training program before going to work for us, so you always get the same highly efficient, educated and friendly staff who understand the key diffrnece between a minor defect and a serious structural concern. We don’t write books we write quality easy to read reports. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s own effort. If you honor us by permitting us to inspect your new home, I guarantee we will give you our very best effort. This we promise you. Anything less and you can call us below 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Jack Applegate, CBO 503-812-9399 inspbuild@hotmail.com Brandon Zipser 503-931-6272 bzipser@hotmail.com

A well-designed wraparound porch can significantly enhance your property's market appeal by improving curb appeal and expanding usable living space. The value increase varies based on your neighborhood, regional preferences, and how well the porch complements your home's architectural style. While you may not recoup the entire construction cost when selling, the enhanced marketability and distinctive character often make your property more attractive to potential buyers than similar homes without this feature.
While not mandatory, adding a roof to your wraparound porch provides substantial benefits, including protection from precipitation, shade during hot weather, and preservation of flooring materials. A covered porch creates a more versatile outdoor living space in various weather conditions. Though roofed structures initially cost more, they deliver greater functionality and potentially higher property value enhancement than uncovered alternatives.
Construction timelines for wraparound porches span several weeks to a few months, depending on project scope. The process begins with design and permitting phases, followed by foundation work, framing, flooring installation, and finishing details. Weather conditions, material availability, contractor scheduling, and design complexity influence the timeline. Larger porches with custom features naturally require more time than simpler, smaller projects.
Building permits are required for wraparound porch construction in most jurisdictions. These permits ensure your structure meets local building codes for structural integrity, proper attachment methods, appropriate railing heights, and other safety standards. Constructing without required permits risks potential fines, complications during future home sales, and possible removal orders. Requirements vary by location, so consulting your local building department before starting construction is essential.
The ideal flooring material depends on your specific priorities regarding appearance, maintenance requirements, durability, and budget. Traditional wood provides classic beauty but requires regular maintenance. Composite materials offer lower maintenance needs but at a higher initial cost. Concrete provides exceptional durability and minimal upkeep, but with a less traditional appearance. Your local climate conditions, expected foot traffic, and aesthetic preferences should guide your selection process rather than assuming one universal "best" option exists.
