Coastal Homes Require a Knowledgeable Eye
Homes near Galveston Bay face conditions that can differ from those farther inland. Salt air, humidity, wind-driven rain, and exposure to coastal weather can influence exterior materials, metal components, roofing, and maintenance needs.
Coastal communities also include a variety of construction styles, from established single-family homes and renovated properties to elevated houses and newer construction.
Brad examines visible and accessible components of the property and documents concerns that deserve attention, helping buyers better understand the home's observed condition.
Inspection observations are limited to visible, accessible conditions. A standard home inspection does not provide engineering opinions or specialist testing.
