Home Inspections performed to the high standards set
by The National Association of Home and Building Inspectors.
Why Home
Buyers need a Professional Inspection
The purchase of a home is usually the largest investment the
average family makes.
You need to know what to expect in terms of possible repair
work and maintenance that may be needed. A fresh coat of paint could
be hiding serious neglect. Hard to see stains may indicate a chronic roof leak, a
leaky pipe, or just a single incident. Our job is to make a complete visual
inspection and report on the condition of the structure and systems
as observed on the day of the inspection.
We work for you,
our
sole concern is that you know about any visible
deficiencies and safety issues related to your new home.
While sellers and real estate agents are required by
law to disclose all known problems in a home, it is still
important to thoroughly assess the condition of the home and
it’s related systems within the time frame specified in your
purchase offer.
Sellers can become so accustom to a problem in their
home that they forget it, or regard it as insignificant.
The Inspection
We will check and evaluate the visual condition and
function of all major components and systems of the home per the
Standards of Practice set forth by the National Association of Home
and Building inspectors.
Including the attic, attic framing, ductwork,
visible structure, roof, foundation, exterior, garage, fire
separation, patio, drainage, heating system, air conditioning,
plumbing system, water heater, electrical system, walls, insulation,
windows, ceilings, floors, doors, kitchen and bath systems.
The Report
Computer generated, site specific, narrative, with digital
photographs imbedded in the appropriate sections. Reports are
available via E-Mail, or delivered to all parties involved ("next
day") locally by messenger. We also ship next day via
Priority Mail if you are out of the area and do not have access
to e-mail.
We
are often asked about ON-SITE reports. We do them by
special request only. We have the
proper
software and equipment. We go over all our findings and explain the operation
of major systems and utility locations while on site.
The Difference
How
are
we different?
As compared to the others, we are well experienced.
Well trained,
committed inspectors, with Hundreds of inspections under our
belt, with active General Contractors and Associates. We are
certified by HCD and other state organizations. We are
very much different in that we are small. We are able to keep
our operating cost to a minimum and then pass that savings on to
you.
Your concern of course is to discover
an experienced and well trained inspector before your seventeen
days of due diligence is up.
The Standards
Although the National
Business and Professions Code states that "The Court may consider
the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of The National Association
of Home and Building inspectors
Associations, and the American Society of Home
Inspectors, or other nationally recognized professional Home
Inspection associations." It DOES NOT require the inspector to
be a Member of any such organization.
Insurance
Regardless of who you decide to hire,
be sure to let them know you will expect to see proof of current
Errors and Omissions and General Liability insurance at the
inspection. Two inspectors should have two policies, three
inspectors should have three policies...
