Vintage Home Inspection

Purchasing a vintage home (50+ years old) will present a unique set of inspection considerations. Schaefer Inspection Service is able to reliably report on important structural and mechanical elements. We may suggest upgrades in systems where contemporary materials or components are safer or energy efficient.

Structural Components

  • Foundation and cracks in concrete
  • Settlement
    • Improper bracing
    • Temporary floor jacks
  • Sagging or deflected floors
  • Roofing issues
  • Exterior/interior walls
  • Wood destroying insect infestation/damage 
  • Building repairs
    • Cosmetic updates like paint and drywall masking underlying issues?
    • Safety issues?

  • Plumbing system
  • Electrical system
  • HVAC system

Thank you for your visit to our website. We wish you and your family good health as our family and business navigate this unpredictable time in our world. Since March we have been adjusting our practices to keep up with current health, safety, and cleanliness guidelines. Beginning on May 20 we will allow ONE client, wearing mask and gloves (no exceptions), in the home during inspection, with the inspector. Please understand that our priority is to continue to serve our clients, agents and homeowners well, while adhering to best health practices. We are practicing extra cleanliness and hygiene as we inspect in people’s homes. We appreciate your collaboration with us.

Best wishes to you on the purchase of your new home!

Jill and Bruce Schaefer
