Full Home Inspection

When buying a new home, it’s imperative you get one done, in order to get an easy to read report that details the present status of the house. This will include: Inspection of the structure, systems and components of the home, inside and out, from the foundation to the roof. I encourage you to attend your home inspection so that I can describe my process, explain my findings, point out important maintenance items and answer all of your questions. As a state-licensed Certified Professional Inspector trained by the InterNACHI and the American Home Inspector Training Institute, I adhere to a comprehensive Standards of Practice. This means that during your house inspection I will inspect all of the following, when visible and accessible:

1. Interior and exterior walls, windows and doors

2. HVAC system 3. Basement/ crawlspace

4. Fireplace

5. Roof and attic

6. Electrical

7. Plumbing

*. Lot, grounds and foundation

*. Attached garage/ driveway

*. Porch and deck

*. Ceilings, floors and walls

*. Built-in appliances and many more.

Following my evaluation, I will compile my findings in an easy-to-read report, which will include detailed descriptions and high-resolution digital photos of any issues I’ve discovered. I’ll email you the house inspection report within 24 hours, and my job isn’t finished until you understand everything in it.

Pool and Spa Inspection

Pools and Spas (Hot Tubs) are a staple in today’s modern society. They are prevalent in the area I serve, that’s why I made sure I’m certified to perform inspections on these items. They are often overlooked in a real estate transaction, but can cause real big issues in the future if they are not properly maintained and cared for.

11th Month Home Warranty Inspection

You’ve bought a new house and it came with a standard 12 month warranty. There are a lot of defects that can appear after 11 months of living in the house. Why not get peace of mind and have the builder honor their warranty before it runs out? After it runs out, you’re liable for all costs of the repairs.

Annual Home Maintenance Inspection

This service is geared towards people who own a second home in the area and who want to make sure their house is properly maintained and cared for. This service can be useful also to new home owners who are hesitant on how to properly maintain their houses and who want peace of mind that they are not missing important clues that can lead to bigger damages if not addressed properly and timely.

Foreclosure Inspection

You should always get a home inspection before buying a property, especially when you’re buying a bank-owned foreclosure. In such cases, it may be impossible to find out how well the home was cared for, or whether major damage was done right before the past owners left the property. If the inspection goes well, you’ll enter into the deal with peace of mind and a better idea of what repairs you’ll have to deal with. That alone is worth the price of an inspection. If the inspection reveals a costly disaster, you can back out of the deal and save tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

New Construction Inspection

You’re having a new house built and it would be great if you could be there to make sure the contractors you hired are doing their job properly and according to modern standards of practice. Unfortunately you live out of town at the moment, or maybe your full-time job and family commitments don’t allow you the luxury to do just that. That’s why you want to hire me and have me look over the project at different phases/times in order to make sure that you get a good and sturdy home.
