Certified Home Inspection Services
It is my job to address issues with the home you are buying or selling that may not be visible to the untrained eye.
Much of what I find is maintenance recommendations, life expectancy, and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about and can help to maintain the integrity of the home for years to come; however, the issues that are most important should be addressed as soon as possible. Often times a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively. Most sellers are surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection and are willing to fix them.
Some situations require a more in-depth look at the problem that is not part of a visual inspection. In these cases, I will recommend that a licensed professional in the specific field (ie. Electrician) be called out to offer a second opinion. It is important to remember that a home inspection is a visual inspection.
Sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the inspection report. It is inappropriate to demand that a seller address maintenance items or conditions already listed on the disclosure page of the real estate agreement.
