 |  No Comments

If your smoke detectors look like this, it’s time to replace them. The NFPA recommends replacing smoke detectors that have ten years of service.

Testimonials

Thorough!

I have used several Home Inspection companies in Reno and feel NevCal is the best, hands down. They are very thorough and professional. I will not be using anyone else from this point on. Highly recommend!

Nancy Davis (January 2021)
The Best in North Tahoe!

Look no further than Nev-Cal Home Inspections. I have used them multiple times, and they are always so very thorough, patient, and never miss any detail. Their reports are the easiest to follow with clear photos, references, and explanations.

Andrew did an extremely thorough job of inspecting the house I'm buying. The photos and report were great and easy to understand. I phoned him for a little clarification on a few items and he was very helpful. I will definitely use Nev-Cal again!

Steve Bransfield and John Fargo - April 2013
Well that was thorough

We were buying a house. When the inspection came, I was happy George didn't just shine a bright light in the attic and look about from a distance. He actually crawled around and inspected the details, joints, joists, and other stuff I didn't even ...
