Welcome

I  encourage you, the client, to be present for the inspection if at all  possible and to follow along with me during the inspection. This allows  you to see things through my eyes, we can discuss findings, and you can  ask questions as we go.

We'll start on the exterior of the home  viewing all pertinent areas such as the siding, roof, chimney, grading,  and attached decks or balconies.
Then it's up to the attic to inspect  the attic area (in most cases I will go into the attic alone) where  I'll inspect the ventilation, insulation, roof structure, and look for  the presence of moisture, etc.

As we work our way from the top  down throughout the house I will go through living spaces, bedrooms, and  bathrooms to operate and inspect windows, doors, outlets, lights,  sinks, tubs, toilets, etc.

We  finish up in the basement or crawlspace area (if the house has one) to  inspect the visible portions of the foundation and structural framing,  look for the presence of moisture issues, inspect the exposed water  supply and drainage piping, heating and cooling system, water heater,  and electrical panel(s).

I strive to provide my clients with a detailed overview of the home to help them in their buying process.

I  relate my findings in a clear, unbiased manner without being alarming  or threatening in my approach. While the report will identify  significant or major problems (if they exist), it will also provide  maintenance information, recommended small repairs and improvements.  This can serve as a reference guide for future maintenance and  improvements.
