203(k) Case Study Series – Draw Request #3
From Demolition to Structure: The Vision is Taking Shape

One of the most rewarding parts of serving as an FHA 203(k) Consultant is returning to a project and seeing a homeowner's vision become reality. Every draw inspection tells a story, and this third inspection marks one of the most significant milestones in the renovation.

When we first visited this 1965 split-level home in one of Annapolis' most desirable neighborhoods, it was clear the homeowners had a vision. Rather than leave the community they love, they chose to transform the home into the place where they plan to spend their retirement years.

Today, that vision is beginning to take shape.

The most noticeable progress is the structural work. The foundation is complete, the additions have been tied into the original home, and the framing is substantially finished, clearly defining the home's expanded footprint. Exterior wall sheathing, weather-resistant barriers, new windows, and sliding doors have all been installed, while the new rooflines blend seamlessly with the original structure.

One of the most impressive aspects of this project is how the contractor has worked around the property's mature trees. Preserving these beautiful hardwoods while expanding the home required careful planning and craftsmanship, allowing the character of the property to remain intact.

Inside, the transformation is equally exciting. The new floor plan is now visible as rooms take shape through completed framing. Rough HVAC ductwork has been installed, electrical rough-in has begun, and plumbing work was actively underway during this inspection. These milestones signal the transition from structural construction to the home's mechanical systems.

As the FHA 203(k) Consultant, my role during this inspection was to verify that completed work matched the approved Work Write-Up and that the requested draw accurately reflected the construction progress. After completing the inspection, I approved Draw Request #3, allowing the project to continue moving forward.

While there is still much work ahead—including insulation, drywall, finishes, cabinetry, flooring, and final details—the transformation is now unmistakable. Each inspection brings this remarkable renovation one step closer to becoming the homeowners' forever home.

Stay tuned as we continue documenting the progress of this exciting 203(k) renovation project.

Maryland follows the EPA’s radon action level of 4.0 pCi/L, but it’s largely voluntary at the state level. Montgomery County, though, takes it further! If you’re selling a home there, you must test for radon before closing, and landlords must also test rentals. If the level hits 4.0 or higher, mitigation is required. So, while the EPA sets the baseline, Montgomery County ensures action is taken!

Do yourself a favor, test for Radon.

This Construction Consulting project is the largest we’ve undertaken at Everyday Home Inspections. Located in a highly sought-after, stable Annapolis neighborhood, this 1965 split-level home sits on a 16,320-square-foot lot, with the house currently at 1,651 square feet. The homeowners, who plan to retire and stay here permanently, are nearly doubling the size to create their dream home. The property is encased by mature, towering trees standing close to the structure, adding complexity as the contractor carefully demolishes sections to expand.

As the U.S. economy continues to strengthen heading into 2026, the housing market is gaining momentum. Lower interest rate stabilization, pent-up buyer demand, and increased new construction are driving more real estate transactions across the country. With more homes being built and sold, one thing is certain: the demand for qualified home inspectors is rising.

Every home purchase requires a thorough inspection. Buyers want protection. Sellers want smoother closings. Real estate agents want dependable professionals who can keep deals on track. As transaction volume increases, the need for trained, licensed home inspectors grows right along with it.

In many markets, inspectors are already booking days in advance. As activity accelerates in 2026, opportunities will expand for new inspectors entering the field. This creates a strong career pathway for individuals seeking independence, flexibility, and earning potential in a service-based industry that remains essential regardless of market cycles.

At Everyday Home Inspector Training, we prepare students with real-world knowledge, field experience, and the confidence to succeed from day one. Our comprehensive program covers standards of practice, structural systems, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, report writing, and hands-on ride-alongs with licensed professionals.

Economic growth fuels housing activity—and housing activity fuels opportunity for home inspectors. If you’re looking to enter a stable, growing profession in 2026, now is the time to start your training and position yourself ahead of the demand.

Inspecting homes with snow on the ground in Maryland presents unique challenges that both inspectors and clients should understand. While winter inspections are common, snow cover can temporarily conceal critical components, requiring additional care, documentation, and sometimes follow-up evaluations.

Roofing is the most obvious limitation. Snow and ice can obscure shingle condition, flashing details, and signs of active leaks. Inspectors look for visible indicators from the attic, such as water staining, insulation compression, or daylight pe*******on. From the ground, they evaluate roof lines for sagging, uneven snow melt patterns, and proper ventilation.

Exterior components may also be partially hidden. Snow can cover lower siding, foundation walls, window wells, decks, patios, and grading. Because proper drainage is especially important in Maryland’s freeze-thaw climate, inspectors pay close attention to visible slope, downspout extensions, and areas where melting snow may accumulate near the foundation.

Driveways, walkways, and exterior steps may be icy, limiting safe access. Safety always takes priority. When areas cannot be safely inspected, they are documented as obstructed.

Mechanical systems, however, often benefit from cold weather testing. Heating systems can be evaluated under real operating conditions, and inspectors verify proper heat distribution, flue performance, and thermostat response.

A winter inspection in Maryland requires experience, caution, and clear reporting. When snow limits visibility, inspectors note the restriction and may recommend re-evaluation once conditions improve—ensuring buyers make informed decisions year-round.
