Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence.
As trained professionals we provide invaluable help in turning you
into a knowledgeable consumer. Home owners can identify problems in
the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs.
Sellers can understand conditions the buyer's inspector may point out
and put the property in better selling condition by making needed repairs.
Our inspection services include:
Buyer's Inspection
In both new and pre-owned homes, the best way to ensure that you are
well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is
to have a professional home inspection done. We are trained to identify
problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked
by the previous owners and to identify those requiring immediate attention.
See our Inspection Overview for more details.
Seller's Inspection
Whether you are selling your own home or using a real estate agent,
it is a wise idea to have a professional home inspection before
accepting offers. Knowledge is power. All homes have strengths and weaknesses;
we help you answer how serious the problems are and
determine which must be immediately addressed 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.
Construction Inspection
In a new home, the quality of construction is often not what it used
to be. Therefore, many buyers have independent reviews made 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 been promised.
Builder's Warranty Inspection
Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. Generally
during this period of time the buyer develops a list of corrections
for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects
will not be obvious to the untrained eye. You will be reassured
knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into
something that could cost you a great deal down the road.
Environmental Hazards
Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you, to the
extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental
hazards in your current or potential house. Ours is a non-invasive visual
inspection of your property, which can alert you to possible
problems.
We can also inspect for these hazards:
Radon: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in
soils, rock, and water. Radon is a threat to health because it tends
to collect
in homes, sometimes in very high concentrations..
Termites: These pests cause serious damage to wooden structures
and posts and can also attack stored food, household furniture, and
books.
