What is a home inspection?
Think of a home inspection like an annual check-up at with your doctor. Home inspections are used to ensure that everything is working correctly in your home - from your sinks and appliances to your windows and roof. A great home inspection will help shine a light on concerning issues located inside and outside your home, which may affect your quality of life.
Home inspections are also helpful for spotting potential risks that may cause concern down the line. When we send you your home inspection report, you will have a much better idea of any problems that are present in your home. Included in your report are recommended repairs and suggestions on what actions to take as your home ages.
Because different circumstances require different types of home inspections, we offer several choices to cater to your needs:
General Home Inspections in Folly Beach
You've heard it before - "A man's house is his castle." It is a place of peace, relaxation, and privacy. However, the steps leading up to your new purchase can be exhausting, expensive, and stressful. After all, when you buy a home, you're investing in your family's future. That is why I believe that having an unbiased general home inspection (or buyer's inspection) is an investment all on its own.
Our goal is to keep you informed and aware of all the components in your new home. In fact, I encourage you to be present and ask questions during your inspection. That way, you can walk into your closing with confidence, knowing you are making an informed purchasing decision. When you hire PGR for your general home inspection, know that I am here for YOU. We will spend as much time as needed to explain our findings and answer any questions that you may have about your buyer's home inspection in Folly Beach, SC.
After I have inspected your home from bottom to top, you will receive your report that includes high-quality color photos depicting our findings the same day. Should you have questions relating to your report, simply give me a call after thoroughly reviewing it. At PGR Home Inspections, I strive to make this an enjoyable, informative experience that expands your knowledge and helps you understand building science.
Our general home inspections include:
- Unbiased top-to-bottom home evaluation, including hard-to-reach areas like crawlspaces and attics.
- Confirmation that all your utilities are in working order, like gas, electrical, and water.
- Verification that your crawlspace is accessible, and all livable areas may be accessed. This includes your electrical panel, water heater, HVAC system, and attic hatch.
- Reports delivered same day that detail any issues within your house and its systems or components.
- Free thermal imaging
- On-site wrap-up with plenty of time to answer your questions
Pre-Listing Home Inspections in Folly Beach, SC
When you're selling your home, few things are as frustrating as a deal falling through due to maintenance issues. All too often, deals fall through because the buyer's inspector finds a significant issue that could have corrected earlier. Having a pre-listing inspection (or a seller's inspection) puts the control back in your hands. With a pre-listing inspection, you can get prepared for your sale by revealing any major defects in your home that need repairing. Having a pre-listing inspection saves you money, time, and reduces your overall stress levels in the long run.
By completing a pre-listing inspection, you can take as much time as you need to decide which repairs will increase your home's value the most. That way, you get the highest return on investment. By making these repairs on your own time, you can sift through several repair estimates and choose the one makes the most sense for your budget.
As you enter negotiations, you may present your pre-listing inspection as a token of good faith to interested buyers. Sharing your seller's inspection with potential buyers lets them get a look at the condition of your home. More importantly, it will let the buyer know how much money and work you have put into fixing your home's defects, which helps warrant your listing price.
If you want to reduce the time it takes for negotiations, save yourself money, and get the best price for your home, a pre-listing home inspection is a wise choice.
The benefits are endless when you hire PGR to complete a seller's inspection:
- Boost the chances of selling your home at a price that you can feel good about
- Manage any pre-existing defects or problems
- Put negotiating power back in your hands during closing
- Enjoy a smoother closing process
- Shorten the time it takes for funds to reach escrow
11th Month Home Inspection in Folly Beach, SC
If you're thinking of having a new construction home built, it's easy to understand why. New homes are often more energy-efficient, come with all-new systems and appliances, and can be customized to your exact preferences. Buying a new home also means you won't have to make repairs or deal with the wear and tear that most older homes have. However, new construction homes aren't always perfect. So, when your home is finished, and your builder explains the one-year warranty on their work, it's wise to schedule an 11th month home inspection.
Much like a general home inspection, I take an investigative, non-invasive approach when we inspect your newly built home. I will evaluate all visible and accessible areas of your new construction home to spot any potential issues. I even use thermal imaging at no extra cost to you.
When I have completed your 11th month inspection, you will receive a shorter, comprehensive inspection report with color photos and information on any defects we discover. You may take this valuable information to your builder, who can then make any repairs necessary before your warranty expires. That way, any repairs needed are done on the warranty company's time.
Additional benefits of an 11th month home inspection from PGR include:
Homebuilders are aware that new construction homes can have defects. After all, there are many hands involved in building a house, including subcontractors you never meet. Because some flaws aren't obvious during the first year of living in a home, having an 11th month home inspection is a great way to protect yourself and your investment.
When you assume that your newly constructed home is void of defects, you could be setting yourself up for some nasty surprises down the line. For example, issues with your new home's systems might not reveal themselves until they malfunction. You will have to cover repair costs in cases like this because the builder's warranty has already expired. With PGR's 11th month inspections, I will ensure that your home's structure systems work properly. If they're not, you will have ample time to have any defects fixed before your warranty is up.
When you schedule your 11th month home inspection at the start of the last month of your warranty, you will have more time to submit a warranty claim. If you choose to wait until a few days before your warranty expires, you will be rushing to file a claim before your new home's warranty expires.

Folly Beach city council discusses amendments to short term rental ordinance

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCBD) – Folly Beach city council is set to discuss amendments to its short term rental ordinance Tuesday night.
After a short-term rental cap was put in place last year, council members wanted to clarify language within the ordinance. Officials said although there won’t be any significant changes, one that stands out could be the discussion of the consequences by turning in business licenses late.
“As it stands now – failure to turn in a timely rental registration result in ramification of a license,” DJ Rich, council member of Folly Beach, said. “There is a reason it’s come up, that’s a little too harsh. I also believe its a little too harsh, I think a strike is more applicable. If you’re late turning in your business license for any other business that you have, you know you don’t lose your business. You pay a penalty, which is adequate here but we will see how the discussion goes tonight.”
Other items on the agenda included eligibility for inheritance-based Investor Short Term Rental (ISTR) licenses, the allowance of licensed homes to be relocated without losing eligibility for a rental license, and amending information required to apply for rental registration.
Although, some residents said since the cap was put in place, the amount of days they are able to rent in a year are slim.
“Now I’m limited to 72 days and I have no choice but to get an ISTR,” Ellen Stoler, resident of Folly Beach, said. “ISTR, you know, is limited now. I am on the waiting list but I’m like seventieth on the waiting list because it goes by whose lived here the longest.”
The regulations have hurt the business of residents that rent their homes while living in them full-time.
“I don’t like being limited to 72 days, I live here, I’m with the people in my house – I never had a complaint,” Stoler said. “I enjoy it a lot, it’s great for an empty-nester, I’ve met people from all over the world.”
Stoler said people she knows are experiencing the same difficulties of trying to get an ISTR. She explained she may now have to get a long-term rental license, which does not pay off in the same way.
“Well, I’ve been short-term renting for years,” Stoler said. “I didn’t like being limited to 72 and I didn’t like not being able to switch to an ISTR. I think they should’ve had a grandfathered period where people could’ve switched and then if they wanted to change all the rules – then do it. There were a lot of people who made lifelong plans that included switching to an ISTR.”

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCIV) — While Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation in Western North Carolina, not all Christmas tree growers in that area are experiencing the same level of hardship.
While some growers are dealing with extensive damage, others are not.
“I reached out to my distributor early on after the storm and they assured me that the trees were fine," said Andy McClellan, a Christmas tree seller on Folly Beach. "Unfortunately, most of the water and stuff went down the mountain."
Last week, McClellan and his wife Tara traveled to North Carolina to pick up 140 fresh Fraser Fir trees for their traditional holiday sale at the beach town.

It's a tradition that started 15 years ago.
“Last year we had our 1st second generation- a young guy that came with his family, and last year he came with his wife and brand-new son,” McClellan said.
McClellan would have been disappointed but understanding if his family wouldn't have been able to do this year's Mama Jean's Christmas Trees sale.
But, good fortune made it possible despite some heartbreak.
“They were caught up in the storm and those folks were needing some help,” he said.

Not only did the McClellan family head north looking to pick up the trees – they brought something special with them.
“We were able to go up there and share some gifts from the heart that our community and surrounding communities collected for them, to show our love and support for them in their time of need," McClellan said. "And we were able to get Christmas Trees for our community to enjoy the beautiful fresh Fraser Firs that come out of Western North Carolina.”
McClellan hopes any little bit helps to regrow the area.
“Personally, for me, yes it does because those folks are hurting right now and anything to boost their economy is definitely a plus,” he said.
