Home Sellers Guide

When it comes to getting the best price for your Knowledge is Power

Homeowners often underestimate the value of a basement inspection before listing. Combined with an overall home inspection, this is called the “pre-listing inspection”. Here’s the value to the seller:

Gives you confidence that you understand the true condition of your home.
Lets you fix or make allowance for things that (if discovered on inspection by the buyer) could affect your asking price.
Lessens the risk of surprises that could cause a potential buyer to change their offer or walk away.
Provides full disclosure at the time of sale, increasing the odds of a solid offer.
Lets you control the negotiation because you know the true value of the home.

Having an impartial expert like Shield Foundation Repair evaluate your basement is the best way to get an honest, informed opinion from a respected and credible outside source.

Common Signs to Look Out For

When doing your own basement inspection, it’s worth taking a closer look to spot telltale clues you may want to call Shield before you list.

Foundation or basement repairs can be expensive and should either be dealt with to add value to the listing as an upgrade or factored into your selling price and disclosed in your listing. The more you know, the more confident you can be that you’re competitive in the market.

With decades of experience, the experts at Shield Foundation Repair can give you knowledge you need to make sure your home isn’t hiding any nightmares that could thwart a sale or cost you money.

"We met Alex first for an estimate. And we had the opportunity to chat with the office staff a few times. Adam was quick to call us back when we had questions and Alex was always just a text or email away. Ramsey Miles and Evan were at our house for a few days for our repairs. They were friendly and respectful. There are still a few finishing touches required on our repairs weather/seasonal dependant, but we are very happy we called Shield to help us. They worked with us every step of the way during a very stressful time. We highly recommend them!"

“The Anton crew members did a great job installing 2 new window wells in my house. Their work was awesome. They waterproofed the walls and replaced the weeping tiles with new ones. They did a really great job of putting the window wells in. They did an awesome job and left the site amazingly cleaned up. They were very helpful and explained everything to me when I had questions. Thanks again Anton crew members.”

“Peter, Kola and Darien responded from Shield Foundation Repair to fix a leak from the house's foundation. They did a great job and once they finished and cleaned up, you’d never know the front yard had been piled high with land fill. Thanks for the great work. I’d recommend you to anyone who needs foundation fixes.”
