The Eichler Home Inspection Guide: Flat Roofs, Radiant Heat, Slabs & Systems Before Escrow
The Eichler Home Inspection Guide: Flat Roofs, Radiant Heat, Slabs & Systems Before Escrow

Buying or selling an Eichler requires a different inspection mindset. These mid-century modern homes are loved for their flat or low-slope roofs, radiant-heated slabs, post-and-beam construction, glass walls, atriums, clerestory windows, and indoor-outdoor flow — but those same features require specialized due diligence. A standard inspection is important, but Eichler buyers and sellers also need to understand roof history, radiant heat condition, drainage, slab issues, termites, electrical upgrades, permits, remodel quality, insurance-sensitive details, and architectural integrity. This guide explains what to inspect, what to document, and how the Boyenga Team at Compass helps clients move through Eichler escrow with clarity and confidence.

The Eichler Restoration vs. Remodel Guide: What to Preserve, What to Update & What Buyers Actually Value
The Eichler Restoration vs. Remodel Guide: What to Preserve, What to Update & What Buyers Actually Value

In an Eichler, a remodel is not automatically an upgrade. Buyers often value the very details that make these homes different: exposed beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, radiant-heated slabs, glass walls, atriums, clerestory windows, vertical siding, flat or low-slope rooflines, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The best Eichler updates improve comfort, function, safety, and marketability while preserving the mid-century modern soul of the home. This guide explains what to restore, what to modernize, what to avoid, and how the Boyenga Team at Compass helps Eichler buyers and sellers make smarter real estate decisions.
