Residential Home Inspections Backed By Experience & Care

PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION:

Getting a pre-purchase inspection is just smart. It reduces the risk of unexpected and costly surprises and helps you feel completely comfortable with your home purchase decision. In fact, many clients have saved thousands of dollars during renegotiations based on report findings, while others have avoided purchasing a “money pit”. You will want to know that the home you are considering is safe and sound, avoiding any unwelcome and costly surprises. Hiring an unbiased third party inspector ensures that the home inspection does what it’s meant to do – protect you, the home owner. Knowing the property’s condition will help you make an informed investment decision either to buy, buy with repair conditions on the seller, or keep looking.

PRE-SALE INSPECTION:

Anyone selling their home should get a pre-sale inspection. Getting one before listing your property puts you ahead of the game by addressing any deficiencies in the home before potential buyers find them. Knowing what repairs to make helps increase the value of your home and ensures your home is on the market for the least amount of time.

NEW CONSTRUCTION/PROGRESS INSPECTION:

Even new homes can, and often do, have defects. These can be due to substandard construction methods, poor workmanship, cost-cutting, or items which have simply been overlooked, despite the builder’s best intentions. Sometimes builders and/or city building department inspectors fail to catch everything. A new home deficiency inspection can make the difference between happy home ownership and unpleasant surprises.

BUILDERS 11 MONTH WARRANTY INSPECTION:

Most builders offer a one-year warranty on the materials and workmanship of the home. Near the end of the warranty we can assist with a final “punch-list” of items to present to the contractor.

MAINTENANCE INSPECTION

 A maintenance inspection is essentially the same as a standard home inspection, but the inspection is done for the current owner. Think of a maintenance inspection as check-up visit to the doctor or dentist that need only happen every five years or so. A maintenance inspection will help to prioritize a home improvement list, and find out about small problems before they turn into big ones. In some cases, a maintenance inspection will reveal that what was thought to be a small problem has already turned into a big one. A maintenance inspection also gives homeowners a chance to have a professional home inspector answer questions with a completely unbiased viewpoint. The home inspector isn’t there to sell anything. We’re just there to give unbiased, accurate information. (Perfect for future renovations)

CONDOMINIUM INSPECTION: When buying a condominium, you’re buying a small component of a large building. Condominium Inspections help protect your interests and your investment. A Condominium Inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of the building systems and components within a condominium unit. Common elements are not included in the inspection since they are covered by the technical audit performed by the condominium corporation and are a shared responsibility among all unit owners. The inspection includes major appliances as well as maintenance and service issues for the unit. The inspection and written report provide the critical information needed to make an informed decision.
