by Jon Boyd | Oct 26, 2017 | Home Buying, Home Inspection, Home Ownership

We had a home inspection of an Ann Arbor luxury home built about 50 years ago. When the inspector was on the roof he discovered a lot of problems with the chimney. It was actually coming apart on all four sides. This was quite a surprise as the seller hadn’t...
