Windows
Your A-Pro inspector visually inspects and reports on the home’s windows. Your report will contain the type of and material used for the windows, as well the performance of a representative number of the home’s windows as they relate to operability and hardware. A home’s windows are a key component of the overall building system. Once they are completely installed it is impossible to determine framing practices and proper flashing. Therefore, your A-Pro inspector will rely on visual indicators to assist in determining window performance. Specifically, your A-Pro inspector will be looking for and noting deficiencies relating to:
- Glazing
- Weather Stripping
- Safety Glass Locations
- Emergency Egress Compliance
