| Choosing a home inspector can be difficult. Typically, you will not meet the inspector until after you hire them (if at all). Different inspectors have varying experience, qualifications, equipment, reporting methods, pricing and different work ethics. A good home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately the property inspection depends wholly on the individual inspector's own effort. I am committed to providing you with the most thorough inspection and report available. If you choose me to inspect your new home, I promise that you will not be disappointed. You may find a cheaper inspection, but you won't find a better inspection. |

| My reports are in-depth yet easy to read. See a partial sample report here. Some other inspection reports have more disclaimers and filler than actual information about the home. I try to give you all the information that you could want without having to wade through a lot of extra text. Your report will have hyper links to supplemental information where needed. You can also find out just about anything you ever needed to know about your home from my Home Related Information web page. I really do care about my clients and I do not want you to have any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. |
Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you
peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of
information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs and what
the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure
and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you
do?
Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and
minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will
fall into one of these categories:
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected
inexpensively to protect both life and property.

Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and

fall into one of these categories:
- Major defects. An example of this would be a foundation problem.
- Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
- Safety hazards, such as exposed wiring or unsafe steps or windows.
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected
inexpensively to protect both life and property.

Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers
are under no obligation to repair anything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective.
Pretty much anything can be fixed. Do not kill your deal over things that do not matter. It is unrealistic to demand that a
seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure or nit-picky items.
