Episode 7 | Energy Codes, Inspections & Truth Bombs Featuring Joe Villani of Sturdy Home Inspections [Audio]

The walls might look straight. The roof might not leak. But what happens when the foundation shifts… or mold sets in… or the crawlspace never got checked?   In this episode, I sit down with Joe "Sturdy" Villani, Inspection Engineer, owner of Sturdy Home Inspections, and host of The Knowledgeable Homeowner Podcast, to talk about the red flags most inspectors don’t catch—and why homebuyers, sellers, and contractors need to ask better questions. 🎙️🔍   From moisture meters to thermal imaging to missing permits, Joe walks us through how a real inspection goes beyond the checklist—and why it can be the difference between a smooth closing and a $50,000 problem. We also talk about educating homeowners, common misconceptions about inspections, and what the “Sturdy” standard really means.   Welcome to Episode 7 of Marcor Studios. Because in this market, surface-level inspections just won’t cut it.   Connect with Joe Sturdy of Sturdy Home Inspections: ☎️ Phone | (631) 487-6634 📨 Email | [email protected] 🌐 Website | www.sturdyhomeinspections.com 📲 Facebook | The Knowledgeable Homeowner Podcast  💬 Instagram | @sturdy_joe & @knowledgeable_homeowner 🎬 YouTube | Sturdy Joe - The Knowledgeable Homeowner Podcast   Connect with us on social! 💬 Instagram | @MarcorConstruction 📲 Facebook | Marcor Construction 🎬 TikTok | Marcor Construction 🌐 Website | www.marcorny.com   💌 Want to collaborate or be a guest on the podcast?
