There are so many easy to correct items that a homeowner would often be better off correcting before the home inspector arrives at their door. One often overlooked exterior house item in need of correction is the foundation vent screens. Check that the garage, house, foundation, and attic vent screens are installed and in good condition. Repair or replace screens where needed. Home inspectors write up these issues daily. Why? Because torn, damaged, or missing attic and foundation vent screens allow unwanted pests easy access to these areas.
