Keystone Home Inspections

Keystone Home Inspections With Keystone Home Inspections, my primary goal is to teach buyers about their new home.

As one of the biggest investments of your life, I want to make sure that you are aware of everything going on in your new home and confident with your purchase! My name is Andrew Cowden and I love the home inspection business because I wanted to do something exciting with my passion for homes and home building that I could also help people at the same time! I am an InterNACHI Certified Inspector a

nd have over 5 years of professional experience in the construction and remodeling field. Purchasing a home is most likely the largest purchase that most people will make and I'm excited to help them make an INFORMED and EDUCATED decision! I realize that many of my clients are first-time home buyers so I strive to teach them whatever I can about their home for the short time that we are in it! My background in the military has honed an attention to detail, moral code, and integrity that are all essential in this field. I offer a discount for members of our Armed Forces, Fire Service, Law Enforcement, and Teachers. I offer appointments nights and weekends (as well as normal business hours) and I look forward to serving you!

This is one of the defects that I find often…it goes in my report every single time. This specific one is different though. THIS one is from a friends house and I know somebody will recognize it. 😈

If you needed a reason to get a sewer scope on your inspection, this is definitely your sign. 😳😬🤔

**When Your Client’s Fridge Organization Raises More Questions Than Answers** 🏠🔍

During this home inspection, we discovered a unique storage solution: a Victoria’s Secret shopping bag… living rent-free in the refrigerator. Right between the parmesan and the whole milk.

We’ve seen a lot in our years of inspecting homes, but this one’s going in the highlight reel.

Pro tip: Your fridge is for food storage, not fashion storage! (Though we admire the creativity.)

This deck is so overbuilt it could survive a family reunion AND a hot tub. 💪😂

Joist hangers everywhere, beefy lumber, and connections that mean business.
Whoever built this said: “Once is enough, but twice is better.”

📋 Overbuilt? Yes.
📋 Unsafe? Not even close.
📋 Inspector-approved peace of mind? Absolutely.

🏠 HOME INSPECTION TRIVIA FRIDAY! 🔍
QUESTION: How often should you replace the batteries in your smoke detectors?
A) Once a year 📅
B) Every 6 months ⏰
C) When they start beeping at 2 AM 😴
D) Wait, I'm supposed to replace those? 🤔
ANSWER: A) Once a year! 🔋
Pro tip: Change them when you change your clocks for daylight saving time - easy to remember, January 1st to start the year off on the right foot, or on a random Tuesday night of your choosing.

And here's another tidbit: smoke detectors themselves should be replaced every 10 years, even if they seem fine. Studies show that smoke alarm's reliability drastically declines after 10 years. 😱

When's the last time YOU changed yours? Be honest! 👇
