I find it odd that some people do not feel it's important to conduct inspections on condominiums.

Check this photo.

The above referenced photograph was taken at a NJ condo inspection we just performed. As you can see the scorching to the wire is of particular concern. An electrician was called in and found that the complete replacement of the panel was required. Cost - $1,550.00

This was a recent condo conversion. It appears that the electrician doing the conversion accidently loosen some fitting during the process that caused the scorching and deterioration to the wiring.

This panel was located near the entrance. Should a fire have started at the panel, the occupant could not readily leave the unit. All buildings undergoing a conversion should have their electrical inspected for such reasons.

We can schedule a condo inspection on-line or by phone: Here is a brief list of the towns we cover:

Homeowners should save their major remodeling projects (and budget) for their new home, not the one they are about to sell, but implementing some of the steps above can increase the appeal to prospective buyers without a huge investment of time or money.
