CHOOSING THE RIGHT INSPECTOR
Buying a new home may be the biggest investment you'll ever make. Although the process is very exciting it quickly becomes overwhelming. While the home you have selected may appear to be just what you're looking for, how can you be sure there aren't potentially serious unknown defects which can make your investment in your future a costly one. Having your new home professionally inspected by me as early as possible in the buying process can possibly save you hundreds of dollars on items which you may be able to have the seller or builder correct.
We give you the information you require to make an informed decision and help you understand the reasons for our findings and suggestions for correcting or explaining them.
Whether Buying or Selling, my company will provide you an easily downloaded computer generated report; easy to understand with highlighted digital pictures indicating areas of concern and a narrative explanation which we are always happy to discuss with you.

THE INSPECTION
A typical home inspection includes examinations of foundation, structure, roof structure, HVAC equipment, plumbing and electrical systems, built-in appliances, and exterior stucco where applicable. The purpose of the inspection is to determine whether various items of the property are working properly, or if they are in need of repair. Inspections during and at the completion of new home construction ensure that a contractor has fulfilled all of the specifications of a particular project. Typical on-site home inspections take 2 to 4 hours on average to perform plus our additional computer time compiling data and uploading the report ready for you to download. Also, we will provide hard copies of the report when requested.

Can a Building “FAIL” The Inspection?
No. A professional inspection is simply an examination into the current condition of the property to be inspected. The inspection is not an appraisal or a Municipal Code inspection. An inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a building, but will simply describe its condition and indicate which items will be in need of minor or major repairs or replacement.
