🏠 More shingles= more problems!

Installing new shingles over an existing roof might save some money upfront, but it can create bigger problems down the road.

Multiple layers add unnecessary weight to the roof, can hide damaged decking and previous leaks, make it harder to properly inspect the roof, and may reduce the lifespan of the new shingles.

When it’s time for replacement, the better approach is to remove the existing shingles, inspect the roof decking, make any necessary repairs, and start with a solid surface.

What’s underneath your roof matters just as much as what you can see.

🎥 Things aren’t always what they seem!

At first glance, this waste pipe might look just fine—but a fresh coat of paint was used to conceal defects underneath. 👀

That’s why a thorough home inspection matters. We look beyond the surface to help uncover issues that may not be obvious to the untrained eye.

🏠 TUESDAY TIP — WHO’S WATCHING YOUR HOME WHILE YOU’RE AWAY? 🌴✈️

Heading out on vacation? Before you leave, make sure you have a trusted friend, family member, or neighbor check on your home periodically while you’re gone.

A lot can happen in an empty house in just a few days:

💧 A water heater or supply line can fail
🌧️ Heavy rain can cause unexpected moisture intrusion
🚽 A plumbing leak can develop
❄️ An HVAC system can stop working
⚡ A power outage can shut down sump pumps or other equipment
🦠 Undetected moisture can quickly create conditions for mold growth

The biggest problem isn’t always the initial failure—it’s how long it goes unnoticed. A small leak caught quickly might be a minor repair. That same leak running for several days could mean damaged flooring, drywall, insulation, and mold.

Stone Home Inspections Tuesday Tip: Have someone physically walk through the house, check the basement, look around the water heater and plumbing fixtures, and make sure the HVAC and sump pump are operating normally.

Enjoy your vacation knowing someone has an eye on your home. 🏡

🐝 SEE THAT PILE OF “SAWDUST”? DON’T IGNORE IT.

What you’re looking at is frass associated with active carpenter bee activity.

Carpenter bees bore into exposed wood to create nesting galleries. As they excavate, wood debris and waste can accumulate below their entry holes. Over time, repeated activity can damage and weaken wood components—and the openings can also attract woodpeckers looking for the larvae, causing even more damage.

During this inspection, we observed active carpenter bee conditions along with visible frass, telling us this wasn’t just an old hole from years ago.

🔎 This is why we look beyond the obvious.

Stone Home Inspections is licensed in New York State to perform Termite/Wood-Destroying Insect inspections, so we’re looking for evidence of termites, carpenter bees, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles and other wood-destroying insects while inspecting the property.

Small pile of frass. Potentially much bigger story.

🚨 IF YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT FROM THE ATTIC… THAT’S A PROBLEM! 🚨

During this home inspection, I spotted daylight coming in around a plumbing vent pipe.

The culprit? A worn and deteriorated plumbing vent boot on the roof.

It may look like a small defect, but once that rubber boot cracks or deteriorates, rainwater can follow the pipe directly into the attic. Over time, that can lead to:

💧 Water intrusion
🪵 Rotted roof sheathing
🍄 Mold growth
💰 Expensive repairs

This is exactly why we inspect the attic AND the roof. Sometimes a little bit of daylight can tell a pretty big story.

Small defect. Big potential problem.

🚨 It All Starts at the Foundation 🚨

Not every crack is a major problem… but some are.

During a recent home inspection, I discovered a foundation issue that raised concerns about possible structural movement. Problems like this aren’t always obvious to the untrained eye, but catching them early can save a buyer thousands of dollars in future repairs.

A home inspection isn’t about finding reasons not to buy a house—it’s about giving you the information you need to make a smart, informed decision.

If a structural concern is suspected, we recommend further evaluation by a qualified structural engineer or foundation specialist before moving forward.

🏠 Still have a 3-tab shingle roof? Here’s what you should know…

At a recent home inspection, I found several loose 3-tab shingles. While every roof eventually wears out, 3-tab shingles are generally more vulnerable than modern architectural shingles.

Here are a few reasons why:

🔹 Less wind resistance – 3-tab shingles are thinner and lighter, making them more likely to lift or blow off during strong storms.

🔹 Shorter lifespan – Many 3-tab roofs last around 20 years, while architectural shingles often last 30 years or more with proper installation and maintenance.

🔹 More prone to damage – Because they’re a single-layer design, they can crack, curl, or lose granules more easily as they age.

🔹 Lower curb appeal – Architectural shingles provide a thicker, dimensional look that many homeowners prefer.

If your home still has a 3-tab roof, it doesn’t necessarily mean it needs immediate replacement—but it does mean regular inspections are important so small issues don’t turn into expensive leaks.

🎥 Check out the video to see what I found during this inspection.
