Crystal Beach Homes / Coastal Homes Inspections

Coastal beach homes require a unique understanding and skill set of the building components needed for a popularly constructed beach home. The unique area and mother nature brings with it a vast amount of moisture, wind and salt water air. All of these items are trying to enter the structure. All of these issues require that a structure be built with proper methods and materials along with proper building codes. All of these help prevent issues with the home such as mold and mildew. Another major issue is rust from the salt air. An advantages of having a higher experienced home inspector, coastal home builder, building inspector and energy inspector inspect the structure is like having four sets of eyes looking at the structure instead of just one.

If you are building or having a new coastal home being built we encourage you to inquire about who is performing your building code inspections and energy code inspections and testing (see section on energy code inspections). Most areas in Galveston County (Crystal Beach) do not have any form of building construction inspections so no one is checking to make sure the house is being build up to current codes. In addition, there are no requirements that the trades be licensed to perform the work.
