Home Inspections

If you need a professional inspection for a residential or commercial property up for sale or one that you or your clients are thinking about purchasing, you've come to the right place!

Our report is computer based and printed on site, in most cases, to include pictures and recommendations for defects found during the inspection.

We perform comprehensive inspections involving a property's major visible, structural and mechanical systems for real estate owners and prospective buyers. The items examined in a typical inspection include the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, foundation, roof, exterior and interior structures and surfaces, and built-in appliances. The visual inspection culminates in a set of comprehensive, computer generated reports describing the condition of the items and systems inspected.

Our Full Inspections include:

  • Roof, vents, flashings and trim.

  • Gutters and downspouts.

  • Skylight, chimney and other roof penetrations.

  • Decks, stoops, porches, walkways and railings.

  • Eaves, soffit and fascia.

  • Grading and drainage.

  • Basement, foundation and crawlspace.

  • Water penetration and foundation movement.

  • Heating systems.

  • Cooling systems.

  • Main water shut off valves.

  • Water heating system.

  • Interior plumbing fixtures and faucets.

  • Electrical service line and meter box.

  • Main disconnect and service amperage.

  • Electrical panels, breakers and fuses.

  • Grounding and bonding.

  • GFCI's and AFCI's.

  • Fireplace damper door and hearth.

  • Insulation and ventilation.

  • Garage doors, safety sensors and openers.

  • And much more.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

The acquisition of a property can be stressful, sometimes involving considerable uncertainty and often with time constraints on the decision making process. A condition survey of the property removes a number of the unknowns and greatly increases the chances of a successful purchase. It makes good sense to know what you are buying, before you sign on the dotted line.

In a pre-purchase situation, our strategy is to quickly provide you with a description of the existing building condition. The building and its systems are not redesigned; instead the focus is on the performance of the building. Where appropriate, we estimate life expectancies and provide repair and/or replacement cost figures in a broad ball park sense.

Move In Certified --- Pre-Listing Inspections

A Pre-Listing Inspection is a property inspection that is performed before a house or commercial building goes on the market. The benefits of this inspection help create a powerful marketing tool that can be used during the process of selling real estate.

Advantages of selling a home that has been Move In Certified: 

  • The seller can choose a certified NACHI inspector to inspect the home properly before the buyer's inspector arrives.

  • The seller can schedule the inspections at the seller's convenience.

  • It might alert the seller of any items of immediate personal concern, such as radon gas or active termite infestation.

  • The seller can assist the inspector during the inspection, something normally not done during a buyer's inspection.

  • The seller can have the inspector correct any misstatements in the inspection report before it is generated.

  • The report can help the seller realistically price the home if problems exist.

  • The report can help the seller substantiate a higher asking price if problems don't exist or have been corrected.

  • A seller inspection reveals problems ahead of time which:

    • might make the home show better.

    • gives the seller time to make repairs and shop for competitive contractors.

    • permits the seller to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report.

    • removes over-inflated buyer procured estimates from the negotiation table.

  • The report might alert the seller to any immediate safety issues found, before agents and visitors tour the home.

  • The report provides a third-party, unbiased opinion to offer to potential buyers.

  • A seller inspection permits a clean home inspection report hosted on http://www.fetchreport.com/ to be used as a marketing tool.

  • Move In Certified yard signs attract potential buyers. 

  • A seller inspection is the ultimate gesture in forthrightness on the part of the seller.

  • The report might relieve a prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before they walk away.

  • A seller inspection lightens negotiations and 11th-hour renegotiations.

  • The report might encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.

  • The deal is less likely to fall apart the way they often do when a buyer's inspection unexpectedly reveals a problem, last minute.

  • The report provides full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.

THE RIGHT INSPECTOR

Choosing The Right Home Inspector Is As
Important As Choosing The Right Home.

Buying a home? It is probably the most expensive purchase you will ever make. This is no time to shop for a cheap inspection. The cost of a home inspection is very small relative to the home being inspected. The additional cost of hiring a NACHI certified inspector is almost insignificant.

You have recently been crunching the numbers, negotiating offers, adding up closing costs, shopping for mortgages and trying to get the best deals. Do not stop now. Do not let your real estate agent, a patty-cake inspector or anyone else talk you into skimping here. NACHI certified inspectors perform the best inspections by far.

NACHI certified inspectors earn their fees many times over. They do more, they deserve more and, yes, they generally charge a little more. Do yourself a favor...and pay a little more for the quality inspection you deserve.
