A maintenance inspection is a great way to find those minor issues that if left unchecked, could lead to costly problems. Issues like a slow leak on your roof or the beginning of rot on the wooden stairs outside, when caught early, are often easy and inexpensive fixes. If left unaddressed, these issues could become costly.
