Pre-Listing

By getting an inspection before listing your home you won't be caught off guard. Give yourself time to make repairs, shop for contractors, and save money by disclosing defects. Put the ball in your court!

11th Month Warranty

Let my trained eye inspect your home before you submit that warranty form to your builder. Don't miss something that can cost you tens of thousands once that warranty policy expires!

Residential Inspection

Whether your new home is 1 year old, or 100 years old, it will be inspected thoroughly. Building a new home? Ask about inspections during each phase of construction.

Safety

When inspecting the property, my primary concern is safety. Any defects with the home that could harm someone will be included in the report.

Flexibility

Most of the people moving to this area are from out of state. Each trip can be nerve racking and eventful. If you need special scheduling, contact me.

Online Reports

All reports are electronic and will be available within 24 hours of the inspection. Hard copies area available if requested.

Education

Building materials and construction techniques evolve. Continuing education is a foundation of an InterNACHI Home Inspector.

Service Personel

I gladly offer a 15% discount to all ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND TEACHERS.

Certifications

Below you will find a partial list of my current certifications. Each one requires focused study of that particular system of the home.

Exterior

All exterior systems of the home will be inspected for proper installation, function, and condition. Any defects will be photographed and reported. Exterior systems can include; roofing, chimneys, driveways, sidewalks, porches and verandas, site drainage, gutters, siding, windows and doors, and more!

Interior

The interior of the home is a very complex area with many different systems working together to create a comfortable living environment. I will inspect all appliances for operation, bathroom fixtures, outlets, and heating elements. Cracks in walls and flooring can give hints as to other areas needing inspection.

Electrical

Electrical systems are some of the most overlooked, and "tinkered" with parts of a home. Most homeowners do not pay attention to electrical until something goes wrong. I will thoroughly inspect the electrical system from the service line into the home, to the receptacles.

Plumbing

The plumbing system controls the biggest threat to a home, water. Water can destroy a home from the inside out. Each fixture, trap, vent, and supply will be inspected for functionality and sings of water leakage.

Safety

Having been a First Responder, safety is the most important thing to me. I will inspect your home as if my 2 year old and newborn will be moving in the next day. EVERY safety defect will be photographed and reported. I want you to enjoy your new home without worry of injury.

Attics and Crawlspaces

Attics and Crawlspaces house the "guts" of the home. They are also the most common areas for defects to occur. I have no problem getting dirty to inspect these areas. Proper inspection of an attic or crawlspace assists in the inspection of other home systems.

Heating and Cooling

All heating and cooling systems will be inspected for proper air return and distribution. Filters, registers, burners, condensers, fuel lines, and exhaust are all parts of the heating and cooling system that must function together to create a comfortable conditioned living space.

Detached Structures

Barns, sheds, and garages include most systems found in a home. For a small fee I will include any detached structure in my inspection.
