“He spent more than two hours systematically checking out every facet of the home we were considering buying. His knowledge of building structure – inside and out alerted us to problems we were not remotely aware of. We saved more than $10,000 on just three items.”

Why Hire Us For Your Next Home Inspection?
Buying a home could be the largest single investment you will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, our licensed home inspectors will give you all the information you need to know about the house before you buy it.
We will identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the home inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.
If you already are a homeowner, the home inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help you avoid costly future repairs. Our expert home inspections pay for themselves.
If you are planning to sell your home, the home inspection can give you the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition avoiding last minute surprises and delays.
What Do You Receive In An Inspection?
● PDF report with pictures of needed repairs, maintenance issues, and items needing further contractor evaluation
● Attention given to your specific concerns and questions during the inspection
● General maintenance information to help our clients take care of the home
● Comprehensive summary of critical items that need immediate action
● Peace of mind knowing that you’re better informed about the home
For an inspection, the client meets the inspector on site to discuss any special concerns the client may have. Then a visual overview is performed to evaluate the condition of each of the major systems of a property.
The client is welcome to follow the inspector and ask questions or to freely explore the property, taking measurements and planning. A report is then written and discussed with the client, with a walk-through as needed.
Digital photos enhance the report, as well. An average inspection takes approximately two to three hours.
We strive to be available whenever you are in need of an inspection, which often means “at the last moment.” We can usually be reached seven days a week to schedule an appointment, and we make every effort to find an appointment time mutually compatible for both buyer and realtor or seller. We also work to be available on Saturdays, Sundays, or evenings for an out-of-state buyer or someone who is in an urgent situation.
Whether the house is new construction or 100 years old, we usually find approximately 75 to 200 items that need attention. These issues range in importance from critical (“correct now”) to deferrable (“correct within next few months”).
The more informed you are, the less stress you feel about making a purchasing decision; the unknown factor is diminished significantly. Minimally, $500 to $2,000 in repairs are found during a typical inspection, but we frequently find problems that cost $10,000 or more.
