I am so glad I decided on this company.  The home inspector knew his stuff, and explained the report to me in a way that was clear.  I was able to negotiate my purchase and saved a lot of money.  Thanks for everything.        -  Karla P., San Diego

Drywall made in China could be making people ill.

The number of homeowners complaining to the Florida health department about drywall odors has swelled to about 150.  Testing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found that samples of Chinese-made drywall contained higher-than-expected levels of potentially dangerous compounds such as strontium, sulfur and two organic compounds which could be causing a variety of health problems.  The U.S. Department of Health claims that the levels of chemicals found in homes built with Chinese Drywall are not high enough to have toxic effects to humans.  So are we safe?  Maybe not.
