Hilliard started in 1853 as a railroad stop on John Reed Hilliard’s farmland, and Old Hilliard along Main and Norwich streets still has some of the town’s oldest homes. Most of today’s Hilliard came much later: the population doubled between 1990 and 2000 and kept climbing, so a large share of homes date from the late 1980s through the 2000s, with new construction still going up on the west side. For many of those houses, the original roof, furnace, air conditioner and water heater are reaching the end of their life at the same time.

What we look for in Hilliard homes

  • Original systems in 1990s and 2000s homes. We note the age and condition of the roof, HVAC, water heater and windows so you know what is likely due in the next few years and can negotiate with real numbers.
  • Decks and exterior wood. Many homes from this era have wood decks and trim that are now 20 to 30 years old. We check attachment, railings, rot and flashing.
  • Grading and sump pumps. Flat lots and clay soil mean drainage matters. We check grading, downspouts and sump pumps, with thermal imaging included.
  • New construction. Building new? A pre-drywall inspection catches framing, plumbing and electrical issues while they are still easy to see and fix.
  • Older homes in Old Hilliard. Homes near the original town center get extra attention on foundations, wiring and sewer laterals.
  • Radon. Franklin County is in the EPA’s highest radon zone, and newer homes are not immune. Testing is the only way to know.
