The average roofing job costs around $12,000. Many times damaged roofing is spotted from underneath the roof decking or by buildup of asphalt granules in gutters.
Attic
It's about $7,000 to remove and install new insulation. By crawling in the hard to get into spaces conditions are found that homeowners are unaware of.
Exterior
Siding, along with windows, doors, and interiors, provide clues to how the a foundation is performing. Exterior replacement runs approximately $20,000.
Plumbing
Replacing water heaters is common and knowing wether your system is up to code will help you determine what components need to be replaced. Water heaters are about $800 to replace but if you aren't up to code that cost can double easily.
Appliances
Each machine has a valuable test that if performed will tell you if it's operating properly. Appliances range from $400 to a few thousand dollars to replace.
HVAC
By far the system with the most problems and the most expensive to replace. Standard testing of this system will not uncover a problem %90 of the time. Advanced diagnostics of this system can save you $12 - 15,000!
Electrical
It's all about safety with this system. Checking for up to date and operational protection devices and proper system operation is the goal. Although, aluminum wiring is present in some houses and can be upwards of $5,000 to add all new code compliant receptacles.
Foundation
Foundations take an expert eye and investigation of symptoms to determine a problem. Foundations can settle for years undetected and cause sloping, cracking, and out of square finish work and structural members. Repair cost varies wildly and can cost upwards of $10,000 to repair. It's best to detect the signs in advance.
