A Proud Member Of The Best Inspectors Network









? WHY CHOOSE US ?
Your home is one of the largest investments you will ever make. Arranging for a home inspection before you purchase your home keeps you informed. A 5 Star Home Inspection evaluates the condition, repairs or maintenance that might be necessary for your potential new home.
Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and yes, different pricing. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s own effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you.

You could miss these problems without a home inspection.
Here are some easy ways to make your home inspection go smoother, with fewer concerns to delay closing.
Make sure the inspector has access - not only to the house but also furnaces, water heaters and air conditioning units (especially in closets, attics and crawl spaces). Clearing away household belongings is helpful. An orderly house shows better and allows an inspector to do their job with minimal interruptions and delays.
Remove items blocking access to HVAC equipment, electric service, panels, water heaters, etc.
Check to see the garage is accessible and that water heaters, furnaces, utility panels or shutoffs and resets for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) within are accessible.
Unlock areas the inspector must access - attic doors or hatches, electric service panels, closets, fence gates and crawl spaces. Clearing away personal belongings from crawlspace entrances is easier done by the homeowner than an inspector.
Ensure all utility services are on, with gas pilot lights burning. If specific utilities are not on or have issues, please leave a note for the inspector. Water mains, electrical services and gas mains that are off do not allow us to the job.
Replace burned out bulbs to avoid a "light did not operate" report that may suggest an electrical problem.
Remove stored items, debris and wood from foundation. These may be cited as conditions conducive to wood-destroying insects.
