"The fate of California’s coast may hinge upon the outcome of a contentious ongoing lawsuit in which a small group of homeowners is battling to build a sea wall that the state has refused to approve. Rising sea levels are threatening to eat away much of the state’s 1,100-mile shoreline, while potentially destroying many of the homes and businesses that have been built alongside it." 🌊 This intriguing case could set a precedent for coastal areas.

As we start a new year, we encourage property inspections to ensure your place is running smoothly for years to come. 🏡 When a 140-unit town-home association suffered from structural damage, brick veneer falling from the buildings, retaining wall collapses and roof leaks, we couldn't wait to step in and help.

In fact, some of the most common defects we see in townhomes include foundation problems, water intrusion, faulty electrical wiring, and HVAC system defects. 💡 If you notice any of these issues on your property, it's best to address early on!
