Buyers Inspection
In both new and older homes, the best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have a home inspection. There are three levels of Home Inspections I offer, General, Construction, and Professional. You may want to consult with your real estate agent on whats best for you. See the Fee's/Service page for more details.
Sellers Inspection (Pre-Listing Inspection)
Whether you are selling your home on your own or using a realtor, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power! All homes have strengths and weaknesses and we can help you determine how serious any problems are, determining which must be addressed immediately and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details.
New Construction Inspection
In a new home, the quality of construction is seldom what it used to be years ago. Therefore, many buyers have independent reviews of their properties during various stages of the construction process, including slab, frame, and final inspection. This relatively inexpensive inspection protects your purchase, prevents unpleasant surprises, and ensures the quality home that you’ve dreamed about.
11 Month Warranty Inspection
Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. Generally, during this period the buyer develops a "punch list" of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is helpful to obtain our home inspectors’ list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder. You will be reassured to know that potential problems were addressed before they grew into liabilities, which could cost you a great deal down the road.
Environmental Hazards
Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards. A non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible problems such as Mold, Radon and Lead Testing can be performed by a third party under my supervision upon request.
