My inspections meet and exceed the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).
The home inspection should not be confused with an appraisal, a municipal
code inspection, an environmental audit, or a home owner's warranty.
code inspection, an environmental audit, or a home owner's warranty.
Home inspections should also highlight the positive aspects of a home.
What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a professional, objective, visual examination of the condition of a home. Home
buyers now entering the marketplace view inspections as a way to gain valuable information about what may be
the biggest purchase of their lifetime. It helps them to determine whether there are any major defects or system
inadequacies at the time of purchase.

inadequacies at the time of purchase.
In most cases, home inspections are performed after a sales contract, conditional upon a satisfactory home
inspection, has been accepted by the seller. The inspection can usually be arranged immediately to within a few
days. The home buyer is typically encouraged to attend the inspection, so that he/she can see first hand the
workings of the home. It also represents an excellent opportunity for the prospective buyer to ask questions
about the home or to discuss potential changes.

In fact, many of the home inspector's observations or recommendations
help to dispel home purchaser anxieties, and provide useful repair
suggestions.

The home inspector's service to the purchaser is primarily one of
education. The goal of the inspector is to provide the purchaser with a
better understanding of the physical condition of the home in order that
they can make a well-informed decision. It is also the inspector's role to
keep his findings in perspective for the buyer. After the inspection is
completed, a written report should be prepared for the home buyer,
documenting the results of the inspection.

Consumers should be very careful when shopping for a home inspector. The industry on the whole is
unregulated and many unqualified people offer home inspection services. Home inspection companies that
offer to do repair work, or recommend repair companies, should be avoided.
