Introduction

The Home Inspectors job is to provide a general, overall inspection of the home - its that simple. The Inspector will be listing "areas of concern". Following are some areas of concern that Franktown Building Inspections Inc. have found. We hope your home is free of these conditions.

1. Air Conditioning Systems Air conditioners should sit flat and level on a concrete pad - not suspended from a wall by a steel cable.	View Larger Image
