How Long Should They Last. The HomeTeam Inspection Service. Tom Smith, Manager

As a public service, The HomeTeam is sharing the following information provided by the National Association of Home Builders. The numbers represent the maximum number of years you can reasonably expect various components of your home to last, as determined by a comprehensive survey of manufacturers, trade associations and researchers. Life expectancy may vary greatly depending on quality of material, installation, maintenance, environmental factors and use. The HomeTeam only reports on conditions at the time of inspection, and does not warrant the life expectancy of homes or their components.
