What We Offer
Home Inspection Repairs: What's Included
Inspection Report Punch Lists
We take on the repair items from a buyer's or seller's inspection report, grouping related fixes so one crew handles the whole list.
Railings, Handrails & Steps
Loose, missing or damaged handrails and guards repaired or replaced, along with cracked, rotted or uneven steps and landings.
Grading & Drainage Corrections
Soil that slopes toward the foundation regraded and short downspouts extended, with NDS-certified drainage contractors for bigger water problems.
Carpentry & Wood Rot Repairs
Soft or rotted trim, fascia, porch posts, sills and deck boards replaced, including insect-damaged wood after pest treatment.
Concrete Cracks & Trip Hazards
Cracked, heaved or sunken walkway, patio and step sections repaired or replaced to remove trip hazards and keep water flowing away from the house.
Siding, Trim & Exterior Fixes
Damaged siding, loose trim and open gaps repaired so the outside of the home sheds water and looks well kept.
Flooring & Tile Repairs
Cracked or loose tile and damaged flooring replaced on porches, entryways and interior floors.
Insurance Claim Damage Repairs
Storm, wind and water damage repaired for insurance claims, starting with a free estimate of the repair scope you can share with your adjuster.
Making Sense of Your South Jersey Inspection Report
Every inspection report is different. Some findings are safety concerns, some are ordinary wear and some point to a bigger issue, such as water running toward the foundation. We go through the repair items with you, sort out what needs attention first and look for the cause behind each finding, so the repair fixes the real problem instead of just the symptom.
A home's age and setting can shape the list. Older homes in long-established towns like Mount Holly, Salem and Woodstown may need work on porches, railings and trim. In newer neighborhoods around Mickleton and Richwood, the items may be grading that has settled since construction or downspouts that empty too close to the house. Homes on low ground can have damp crawl spaces.
We handle inspection repairs for homes across Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, Salem and Atlantic Counties.
Repairs for Sellers, Buyers and Homeowners
Selling? A buyer's inspection often leads to a repair request during the contract's inspection period. Completing those repairs, instead of negotiating a credit, can help keep your closing on track. Some sellers fix findings ahead of time with a pre-listing inspection.
Buying, or staying put? Treat the report as a plan. Safety items like railings, steps and trip hazards come first, then anything sending water into or against the house. Having a few details ready helps us prepare an accurate free estimate.
- Your inspection report, or the pages with repair items
- Any repair list agreed to with the buyer or seller
- Photos of the problem areas, if you have them
- Your closing date or other deadline
Railings, Steps and Other Safety Items
Safety items tend to top every repair list. New Jersey's residential code, based on the International Residential Code, generally calls for a handrail on stairs with four or more risers and a guard on porches, decks and landings more than 30 inches above the ground. Inspectors also flag railings that move when you lean on them and steps with uneven heights.
Many New Jersey towns require a resale certificate of occupancy or similar inspection before closing, and the state requires a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm and fire extinguisher certificate before a one- or two-family home is sold. Rules vary by town. We handle the carpentry and concrete items on those lists.
- Tightening or replacing loose handrails, posts and balusters
- Adding a handrail where a stairway doesn't have one
- Rebuilding rotted, cracked or uneven steps and landings
- Replacing worn wood railings with low-maintenance vinyl
Insurance Claim Repairs After Storms and Leaks
Summer thunderstorms and nor'easters can bring down limbs, tear siding and damage fences, while a slow leak can ruin flooring and trim inside. For an insurance claim, the job is much like an inspection repair: find the full extent of the damage and fix it properly.
Your insurance company decides what your policy covers, so report the damage promptly. We'll look at it in person and give you a free estimate of the repair scope to share with your adjuster. If grading or drainage keeps sending water toward the house, our NDS-certified drainage contractors can fix the source.
- Take photos and video before anything is cleaned up
- Prevent further damage if it's safe to do so, and keep receipts
- Report the damage to your insurance company

FAQ
Home Inspection Repairs Questions
Answers to common questions from South Jersey homeowners. Don't see yours? Give us a call.
What are home inspection repairs?
They're the fixes that come out of a home inspection report, such as safety hazards, damaged materials and conditions that could turn into bigger problems. For sellers, they're often the items a buyer asks to have repaired before closing. For buyers and homeowners, they're a practical list of work that makes the house safer and sounder.
What types of issues do you repair?
We handle handrails and guards, cracked or uneven steps and walkways, rotted trim and deck boards, loose tile, damaged siding, grading and downspouts that send water toward the foundation, and storm or water damage. If your report includes electrical, plumbing or HVAC items, we'll point those out so you can bring in the right trade.
Can you fix structural or foundation items on a report?
Many structural notes involve porches, steps, decks and the framing around them, which we can repair. When an inspector flags a possible foundation problem, a structural engineer's evaluation usually comes first. With those findings in hand, we can review the recommended repairs and give you a free estimate for the work we take on.
Do you work directly with realtors or homeowners?
Both. We work with homeowners and are happy to coordinate with your realtor, whether you're selling and answering a buyer's repair request or buying and planning fixes. You decide who should be in the loop, and we keep everyone focused on the items in your report and the dates that matter to you.
How quickly can repairs be completed?
It depends on the number of items, the materials involved and the weather for outdoor work. Share your closing date or deadline when you reach out. During your free estimate, we'll be upfront about what can realistically be scheduled and plan the work around your timeline whenever we can.
Do you perform the home inspection too?
No. In New Jersey, home inspections are done by state-licensed home inspectors, and an independent inspector is the right choice for an unbiased report. Our role starts once you have the report: we review the repair items with you, give you a free estimate and complete the work you approve.
