Thinking About Having a Home Inspection?

Most people think of the needing a Home Inspection only when purchasing a new or previously owned home. Although this is a very good idea, there are many reasons to have a home inspected if you not in the buying or selling position.

We have conducted thousands of inspections for apartment dwellers, renters of homes and businesses, sellers of homes and those just concerned about conditions of their home or the systems that make up a home. The reasons why vary as much as the individuals.

If you rent a home and are having issues getting repairs done, a home can be an unhealthy place. Often the function of systems can make life difficult or uncomfortable for those who have no control over how the system is repaired. This can be the heating and cooling system, plumbing (water supply, drain, waste system), electrical systems, roof system, or many other systems and components that make a home a comfortable, safe & healthy environment.

If you are a busy professional you often neglect the typical maintenance of your home, or ignore commons signs that a system is wearing or failing. Oversights such as this can cost a few dollars if caught in early stages, or thousands when left to deteriorate. An inspection conducted by a qualified individual can not only alert you to possible issues, it can save you potentially thousands on future repairs or damage caused by the condition. Inspectors can also help provide maintenance suggestions to keep your home in good shape.

For more mature or elderly clients a home can be an overwhelming task to keep up with. Many Clients worry that they have issues, when none exist. Others ignore issues, even when signs of wear are obvious. Neither situation is healthy, when many of our elderly clients are just trying to enjoy their retirement. We not only provide significant discounts for seniors, but we provide peace of mind when conducting inspections on their homes. We explain maintenance suggestions in simple terms and also will provide “How To” lessons with the easier tasks in their future home maintenance needs. We also provide unlimited phone consultation after the home has been inspected.

If you know a first time buyer or a retired person who needs peace of mind and who really wants to know and understand their home, we are the inspection company to use. We not only provide significant discounts for these groups, but we take the extra time to educate them in simple non-threatening, non-alarming terms. Since we are licensed contractors we can also give them an idea of what certain repairs or improvements cost. In most cases we cannot conduct the repairs we discover, but we can help inform our clients of the likely cost for the repair.
