Just think how the home improvement stores have made “do it your self” remodeling sound so easy. Quite often these projects are done without building permits or permit inspections by people that have good intentions but really do not know what they are doing. Many of the homes we inspect might look “OK”, until you take a closer look, many times uncovering safety and health issues. Over 400 potential items are inspected on an average home. Things like unsafe or non-conforming wiring, unvented plumbing, unflashed decks and roofs, or structural issues. The relatively small cost of an inspection compared to the investment you will have in your home, is money well spent on your piece of mind.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a professional inspect the home before you close and inform you as to the current condition of the home you are considering?

Buying a home is one of the most important purchases you will make in your lifetime, so you should be sure that the home you want to buy is in good condition. A home inspection is an evaluation of a home’s condition by a trained expert. During a home inspection, a qualified inspector takes an in-depth and impartial look at the property you plan to buy. The inspector will:
* Evaluate the physical condition: the structure, construction and mechanical systems.
* Identify items that should be repaired or replaced.
* Discuss the useful life of the major systems (such as electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning), equipment, structure and finishes.
* Evaluate – doors, windows, walls, foundation, roof, grading, walkways, insulation, ventilation, interior wall covering, siding, plumbing, electrical, soffits, fascia, furnace, water heater, air conditioner
* Identify items that should be repaired or replaced.

The Bottom Line: Spending Hundreds May Save You Thousands
When you make a written offer on a home, you should insist that the contract state that the offer is contingent on a home inspection conducted by a qualified inspector. You will have to pay for the inspection yourself, but it could keep you from buying a house that will cost you far more in repairs down the road. If you are satisfied with the results of the inspection, then your offer can proceed.
Choosing a competent home inspector to provide complete and correct information when deciding on what may be the largest investment of your life to this point, is the task before you now. As Vice President of one of this states premier home inspection orgaizations NAHIMN, and a member of NAHI’s educational committee, using my vast experience and extreme knowledge of home systems, I promise you the highest quality inspection, an educational room-by-room walk through so you fully understand the condition of every aspect of the home, a detailed report full of information not offered by other inspectors, a extremely helpful website, and long term support in case you have questions after you take possession of the home.
