| How many years experience do you have and is inspecting your full time occupation? |
I have been a full time inspector since 1989 with over 9,000 inspections performed.
|
|
|
|
| Are you a single or multi-inspector company? |
I perform and write all home inspections myself to avoid any misinterpretations. |
|
|
|
| Are you a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors? |
Yes. ASHI is the oldest, most recognized association with the highest standards for membership certification. Please see my resume for leadership roles and national awards. |
|
|
|
| Do you participate in Continuing Education to keep you expertise up to date? |
I routinely exceed 50 hours of CE per year. |
|
|
|
| Can I attend the inspection? |
Yes, I encourage you to attend and ask questions. |
|
|
|
| How long is the inspection? |
Three hours is the approximate amount of time needed for a thorough inspection. Allow more time for larger properties. |
|
|
|
| What type of report format is used? |
A clearly written narrative report that is photo documented will be sent to you in PDF format usually the following day. |
|
|
|
| Can I call with questions after the inspection? |
Yes, I am always available for questions not only after the inspection, but even after you move in. |
|
|
|
| Can you make repairs or improvement if defects are found? |
No. ASHI Ethics and PA state law forbid this practice. It is a clear conflict of interest. |
|
|
|
| How much will my inspection cost? |
Price is the least important factor when selecting an inspector…but it is a good indication of the inspector's experience and professionalism. A cheap inspector can cost you many, many times the amount you saved by “shopping around”.
Based on the services order and property information you provide we will be happy to quote your fee. |
