I have been in the home maintenance and repair business for over 35 years, evaluating and correcting the same type of defects and problems I am looking for when inspecting a home. When I go through a home, I spend hours educating myself about every possible aspect, that a you as a home buyer may need to know. Then I can pass that information onto you, so you are as knowledgeable about the house as possible. Finding the things that may be of concern is just the first step. Taking the time and being able to explain those concerns, why they happened, and what can be done, is the information you need to feel comfortable before moving ahead. It is that kind of commitment that goes into every inspection, report, and education I offer you that makes my inspections second to none.

This brief tour has eight sections that display photographic examples and audio clips of what a standard home inspection includes. The video cannot possibly detail every item that is inspected, but it does provide a general sense for what an inspection includes.
Roof System
My inspection includes a thorough examination of your roof to determine its age, wear, proper installation including flashing and any potential damage. I look at the chimney, shingles, vents, trim and more.
Exterior Components and Foundation
I will look at doors, windows, siding, intruding vegetation, grading, driveways, decks, foundation, and more.
Structure
I will evaluate the structure for excessive settlement, cracks, deterioration, bowing, and non-conforming construction.
Interior
I will look at indoor windows, stairs, shelving, appliances, smoke detectors, electrical outlets and more.
Insulation and Ventilation
I will also inspect basements and attics for Insulation, moisture, proper ventilation and more.
Heating / Air Conditioning System
I identify type, size, age, proper combustion venting, and the general condition of the furnace. These systems are run and evaluated for performance. Air conditioning and heating systems systems may not be run if temperature is out of safe range or the fuel is shut off.
Plumbing System and Components
All pipes, faucet, fixtures in bathrooms, laundry and kitchens will be inspected. I identify size and inspect for proper function.
Electrical System
I test a representative number of outlets, assess adequacy of number of outlets, and test all readily accessible GFCI outlets not in use. I open the electrical panel when possible, and evaluate the size, type, and sufficiency of service as well as identify any deficiencies visible such as burnt wires, overcrowding, and branch circuit protection.
