About Us:
My philosophy on inspections is simple. I am hired to inspect thoroughly and report clearly whatever conditions I find at the subject property, with the ASHI Standards of Practice as the minimum. I am an advocate for my professional opinions only. I will neither document tiny flaws nor ignore noteworthy ones. My work is the same no matter who refers me. Hopefully this is exactly the kind of unbiased professional approach you value and rely upon to make intelligent buying decisions.
ITA Trained and Certified.Reg104669Cc - I have been professionally trained to perform home inspections in a licensed home inspection training program, provided by Inspection Training Associates, the national leader in home inspection training.
Areas of Expertise
My home inspections typically start with the exterior of the property and end in the attic and crawlspace, if applicable. The entire home is inspected including the plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling etc.
Home Inspection Options:
Comprehensive Inspection
Basic Inspection
Pre-Offer Walk Inspection
Rental / Security Deposit Inspection
Sellers Inspection
Home Warranty Inspection
Energy Evaluation with Thermal Scan
Comprehensive Inspection: This inspection exceeds the ASHI standards and involves testing equipment such as digital circuit analyzer, combustible gas detector, moisture meter, and includes all accessible areas within the SOP. This is the recommended inspection for most buyers. This inspection takes approximately three hours to complete.
Basic Inspection: Includes roofing, electric, heating and plumbing. My basic inspection, often called a Four Point Inspection, is intended to determine the general condition of only these components. This inspection takes approximately one to two hours to complete.
Pre-Offer Walk Inspection: This inspection is performed once you narrow your search down to a few homes. I will attend the walk through with you and give my professional opinion on the condition of major components. This inspection does not include a written report nor does it substitute the actual inspection.
Rental or Security Deposit Inspection: Designed to help the property renter or owner to document the current condition of the home. A Basic Inspection is performed with additional photos taken of the walls ceiling and floor areas.
Pre-List Sellers Inspection: This program generates more confidence with potential home buyers, thereby generating more offers with less last minute hassles. After the inspection is performed, the seller will receive a yard sign stating the home has been pre-inspected with an inspection report available. This inspection should not substitute the buyer's inspection.
Home Warranty Inspection: Completed just prior to your new home warranty is set to expire. Any issues discovered during this inspection can be brought to the builder's attention for correction.
Energy Evaluation with Thermal Scan: An examination of the various energy components of your home, including windows, attic, and heating and cooling elements. Each room is also scanned with an infrared camera used to identity areas of heat variations, indicating heat loss or air infiltration.
Testimonials
"I had my new home inspected by StepByStep Home Services LC just one week before the closing day by Vince the inspector from StepByStep Home Services LC. He spent several hours inspecting my house inside and out,including the attic and basement. He is very through and detailed. He found out a lot of issues which were not obvious. He also found the water leakage in the kitchen drain and cracks in the roof. Those are very import matters that I can take to the builder and have them fixed before the closing day. I found my inspection fee is well spent."
David Tseng Northville, Michigan
"We are very impressed with the service Vince provided inspecting our new condo. Even though the builder had in-house quality control inspections, Vince found a number of issues that could have been our "problem" to correct after we closed. I would enthusiastically endorse employing StepByStep Home Services for any building inspection." Chris R. Canton , MI
"Vince provides you with a full, "easy to read" report, full of digital photos and helpful comments. To top it off ... he even sends the report by e-mail, so you can have access to it - as soon the report is done! Vince's professionalism is outstanding! We'd highly recommend him!" Sincerely, Kelly Mac Neill and Janis McGlone Real Estate Investors Northville, MI
"Thank you very much! My agent commented that he had never seen such a thorough or illustrative report. Thanks!" Ty Houston Beverly Hills Twp. MI
“Vince was very professional, took the time to fully inspect the house we ended up buying. His list was fully detailed as well as recommendations on how to fix the items. We've been in the house a year and had no surprises at all. Also, I must mention his inspection format makes it very easy to use this as a list of things to fix on the house, with its explanations and details. I would definitely use Vince again.”
Lowetz, Jerry Livonia, MI
