Common Issues in Catonsville Properties

Historic Homes: Catonsville's older neighborhoods feature homes from the 1800s and early 1900s. These properties may need updated electrical and plumbing, improved insulation, and foundation repairs. We evaluate these concerns realistically, helping you understand what's typical for the age versus what requires immediate attention.

Mid-Century Properties: Many Catonsville homes date from the 1940s-1970s building boom. These well-built properties often need first major updates including roofs, HVAC systems, and aging plumbing. We assess remaining useful life and help you budget for upcoming needs.

Terrain and Drainage: Catonsville's hilly terrain means proper grading and drainage are essential. We carefully evaluate water management around properties to prevent foundation and basement issues.
