We carefully check everything in your home following the Home Inspection Standards of Practice. This means we look at all the important parts, starting from the foundation and going all the way up to the roof. We don't miss anything in between! We can also look for signs of water getting in where it shouldn't, like leaks and other issues with the materials. If we find anything that needs fixing, we'll let you know and explain what the problem is and why it's essential to fix it. We might also suggest some expert contractors who can take a closer look and make the necessary repairs.

We inspect homes and buildings, both for people who live there and for businesses.

Thinking about buying a home? It can feel overwhelming, especially when you have a home inspection. But don't worry, I'll break it down for you! During the inspection, you'll get lots of information like a written report, pictures, and what the inspector says. Plus, you'll have the seller's disclosure and your own observations to consider. It might seem like a lot to take in, but don't panic. Here's what really matters: Major defects like a big structural problem. Things that could lead to major issues, like a small roof leak. Anything that might affect financing, insurance, or legal occupancy. Safety hazards, such as dangerous electrical issues. If any of these things pop up, it's essential to address them. But don't worry too much about small stuff or things already mentioned in the seller's disclosure. Most sellers are honest and might not know about some defects. They're not obligated to fix everything, and no home is perfect. Keep things in perspective and focus on the significant problems. Apart from the regular inspection, we also offer other types of inspections, like termite inspections (Third-Party), sewer scopes, chimney inspections, mold inspections (Third-Party), and more. So take a deep breath and remember, I'm here to help you through this process. Good luck with your new home!

We suggest that you read and understand the whole inspection report. If you have any questions about anything in the report, don't hesitate to ask. In the inspection report, I write about the problems I saw during the inspection that are considered serious (material defects). These defects need urgent attention and should be fixed right away by a qualified contractor or professional. I will list these important defects in the summary report. However, remember that the summary report is not the complete inspection report.

This is for the real estate professionals. Once the seller agrees to your clients' offer, it's time to choose a home inspector with your clients' help. But should you suggest an inspector who writes easy reports, one who pays to be on your office's list, or a cheap inspector? No, no, and absolutely not. Your duty is to your clients, and that means recommending the very best inspectors. If you suggest a not-so-good inspector, one who indirectly pays you, or a cheap one, you're not doing your job properly. The National Association of REALTORs outlines your responsibilities in their Code of Ethics. Article 1 says you must protect and promote your clients' interests. Article 6 requires you to tell your clients about any financial benefit you might get from recommending real estate services (this also includes benefits for your broker). Since most real estate agents only get paid if the transaction goes well, your interests and duties can clash. So, don't make it worse. The best way to avoid problems, be ethical, and fulfill your duty is to help your client find an inspector based only on how good they are. Though no agent can guarantee how thorough an inspector will be, there is a connection between an inspector's fees and their skills (meaning, you usually get what you pay for). Recommending a cheap inspector for such an important purchase is a breach of your duty. When unsure, focus on quality, and find the most skilled inspectors for your clients.

I want you to come with me during your inspection. Together, we'll explore your house and I'll teach you all the important things you need to know. You can ask me any questions you have while we're walking around. If there's anything that worries you or if you're confused about something, don't hesitate to ask me while we're doing the inspection. I'll keep working until you're happy with the inspection. You don't have to pay me until we finish the inspection and you're completely satisfied.

Selecting the ideal home inspector can be a daunting task, as the process often involves making decisions based on limited information. Unlike other professionals you may hire, our first meeting will likely be at the scheduled inspection. Furthermore, the qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing of different inspectors can vary significantly. At the end of the day, the quality of a thorough home inspection hinges on the dedication and expertise of the inspector themselves. However, I assure you that if you entrust me with the opportunity to inspect your new home, I promise to deliver nothing short of my absolute best. I pledge to dedicate my utmost effort, knowledge, and attention to detail to provide you with a comprehensive inspection report. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are my top priorities!

Make sure to read the Home Inspection Standards of Practice, Code of Ethics, and the home inspection agreement that we'll sign before we start the inspection. It's also important to go through the whole inspection report, not just the summary. Lastly, I'll provide first-time home buyers of a newly constructed home with the InterNACHI® home maintenance book after the inspection, so be sure to give it a read too.

The home inspector is like a general expert who checks the house and tells you how it is at that moment. That's our main job. It's really important for homeowners to know that things in the house can break over time. As days pass, parts of the house might wear out, break, get worse, leak, or just stop working. When a home inspection happens, it can't predict the future or promise that nothing will ever go wrong. Things like roof leaks, water problems, plumbing issues, or heating failures in the future are not the home inspector's responsibility. The homeowner is the one in charge of those things. The home inspection and report are based on what the inspector sees on that specific day. It can't show every problem that exists or could happen in the future, but only the important issues we observe on that particular day.
