Comparing Inspectors

Sometimes there’s no comparison.

Other Inspectors

It’s not something we get into, we feel that we are top tier Inspectors. There are other good Inspectors in the area and you will have to make your own decision based on your research and choose who you want to perform your Inspection.
“Look at our reviews” they speak for us”.

Standards

We are members of ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) the nations oldest and most respected Home Inspection association. Our Inspectors are Licensed and Certified to give you confidence in choosing your inspector.
ASHI promotes professionalism while enforcing ethics for Home Inspectors nationwide.

CNN’s Clarke Howard regularly promotes the benefits of hiring an ASHI Home Inspector.

Price

First and foremost, we are not the cheapest in town. We are the best value.  We give you an incredibly detailed report with photos on what is probably the largest purchase you will make this year. Would you look for a “discount” eye surgeon?

Photos

You are employing us to perform a Home Inspection, not produce a sales brochure! We use the time at the house to Inspect, looking for defects or problems that may impact you or your family. Our photos are there to highlight those issues that you will want a photo of.

Random Testing

We do not believe in checking one or two windows, a receptacle here and there or a heating register on each floor. It has been our standard to access everything we can get to and test everything, it’s all too easy to miss the random problem!

Do we go in the Attic?

Yes, right into it if at all possible, not just looking from the access. Oh yes, the crawl space and on the roof where possible.

We’re Not Afraid to Make a Determination

Recommend further evaluation by a licensed contractor…

This is a very common comment in many Inspectors reports. Every problem that needs an electrician, plumber, roofer etc, will refer you to a contractor to determine the condition and the necessary repairs, adding additional expense to the cost of your Inspection.

You paid us to make a decision and we do… we do not normally suggest “Further Evaluation” which will cost you a lot more money you had not budgeted for.

Getting the Report

You will receive the electronic report with detailed summary pages at the end of the inspection.  There is no waiting until the next day for a copy. We can also send a copy to your Realtor if you wish.

Termite and Radon Inspections?

We get a specialist to perform those Inspections. As a Home Inspectors we are technically “generalists”, that means we do not specialize in any one field.
Why have a generalist perform a specialist’s job?

Unfortunately… all Home Inspectors are not the same!

Thermostat Placement Is Crucial

March 13, 2025 By David Roche

A badly placed thermostat plays havoc with the heating and cooling of a house. In this case the wall light creates a warm zone beside the thermostat causing it to register hotter than the rest of the house.

Bath Overflow Loose

January 25, 2025 By David Roche

All too often the overflow on the bathtub is loose or worse yet loose and the gasket damaged.

January 8, 2025 By David Roche

A bonding wire is often mistaken for a ground wire, it does not go to ground but back to the electric panel. When it is connected to black iron *(steel)* piping the paint under the clamp must be removed with a rasp or sandpaper to make a good contact, paint reduces the contact rendering the […]Read More about Bonding Gas Piping
