Home Maintenance, Insurance and Home Inspections- Chelan and Wenatchee home inspection services

We all like to save money and also protect our investments, correct?

Did you know that if you keep your home’s exterior well maintained it will actually save you money?

Insurance companies when they decide to insure your home have a vested interest that you maintain your home. A well maintained home is less of a risk.

As a home inspector I am hired by various agencies to perform what I refer to as “Drive by Inspections”. These agencies are employed by mortgage and insurance providers to check on their properties to see if they are occupied and do a quick visual inspection of the condition of the home.

Tammy McCants of Martin Morris Agency states “As an insurance agent let alone do I always try to provide the best service, coverage and pricing available to my clients I also do work for the insurance provider. If a property is not well maintained, i.e. the home needs painting, the yard is not maintained and/or the roof is in poor condition this can have a negative effect on the property which can increase your insurance rate.”

An article from InsuranceAgents.com states the same… quote “You can lower your annual premiums by properly maintaining your home throughout the year. Unfortunately, insurance policies don’t pay out for damage as a result of neglect so when you purchase a home you undertake the responsibility that comes with maintaining it. Low home insurance rates depend on it,” states in thearticle.

As a home inspector I can be hired to provide a professional evaluation or your property and help educate the homeowner on how to maintain their home.

Most people only think of a home inspection when they are buying or selling a home. But if you thought of your home inspector like you HVAC contractor and hired him or her to do yearly inspections on specific areas of the home it actually can help you save money and alert you to areas that may need repair before it becomes a problem.

If you are in the Wenatchee Valley and are looking for insurance contact Tammy McCants 800-259-1650 or by email tmccants@martinmorris.com.

Tammy's tag... “I will take care of your property properly and not take your casualties casually.”

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
