Tips for anyone (including buyers AND realtors) buying or selling a house: Go in the crawl space. With a flashlight. You yourself can see the darndest things and they can help you decide next steps.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Downspout extension draining well away from the foundation. If you want to make it even prettier, you can bury it (making sure to put small rocks where it terminates so it doesn't get clogged with dirt).

The look I get when it’s time to go for a walk.

What makes us different? Well, there’s me (Lori)

What makes us different? Well, there’s me (Lori) for one thing. Even if you schedule your home inspection online, I’ll still call you to talk about what to expect before, during, and after the inspection and answer any questions you might have.

During the inspection, we go beyond the NC standards of practice - inspectors walk the roof whenever possible, test all available outlets and hvac vents (instead of just one per room), spend significant time in the attic and crawl, etc. We take time during the walkthrough to explain all of the findings and offer tips to new homeowners.

We spend 3+ hours completing inspections because fast rarely means better in this industry. And although we send out nearly all reports within 24 hours, we do NOT publish reports a few minutes after completing the inspection. We take time to review everything and double check important items.

The bottom line is that while we always provide extremely thorough inspections, we place client service and relationships above all else. We’re entering our 7th year in business and so blessed to call this community home.

Here’s just a few of the services Doherty Home Inspections offers: pre drywall inspections, new construction and end of warranty, pre-purchase and pre-listing inspections, pest/WDI, radon testing, and indoor air quality testing 🏡 Call me or schedule online at

I just spent a terrific morning at @wchlchapelboro enjoying coffee with friends during their monthly their Community Leaders Cafe ☕️ It was especially awesome spending time with Jesus Avendaño with @gonzalezpainter. He is seriously impressive and we are so lucky to have him in this community.

Meet Inspector Rick Doherty. Former house renovato

Meet Inspector Rick Doherty. Former house renovator, retired NYPD detective and 9/11 first responder, husband and partner to Lori for 22+ years, and father two two teenage girls. That last fact should tell you a lot about his patience and fortitude 😛 He’s been inspecting homes in the Triangle for six years and still feels blessed about having a second career he loves that allows him to keep helping people. ❤️

Doing a plumbing performance test doesn't mean tes

Doing a plumbing performance test doesn't mean testing one source at a time - at least not the way we do it. We run the sinks and showers, fill the tubs, flush the toilets, run the dishwasher, drain everything and monitor the flow... some of this is done simultaneously so we can mimic what it looks when a whole family is getting ready on a busy morning. At the end of the inspection, we do the crawl space so that we can follow the visible plumbing lines to see if we were able to coax out any leaks that way. This process is long and meticulous and can't be rushed. It's a good thing to remember when price shopping - a fast and/or cheap inspection is rarely the best inspection. 🌟🏡

If you have a skylight, chances are you've worried

If you have a skylight, chances are you've worried about it leaking or have already experienced this issue. One of the biggest culprits is improper or missing flashing. A crucial part of any skylight installation is the flashing system which is used to surround the skylight in the roof. The flashing is used as a way to ensure your skylight is waterproof. The type of flashing you need depends on the type of material used on your roof and the pitch of your roof. When examining the roof during a home inspection, the flashing system (whether you have skylights or not) is one of the many items we are looking for.

Shout out to one of our favorite realtors, Rosemar
