Our inspectors belong to nationally recognized organizations that provide the education and state-of-the-art methods required to perform the due diligence necessary to help our clients make informed decisions, while adhering to the rigorous and nationally recognized Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice outlined by the State of Ohio.

You are encouraged to attend the 2-3 hour Home inspection in order to ask the Home Inspector questions that may prove invaluable in your overall evaluation of the property.

Protecting You

The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make. You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the need for any major repairs before you buy so that you can minimize unpleasant surprises and difficulties afterward. A professional Home Inspector should perform a visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation, and If any problems or symptoms are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation.

The purchase of a new home is one of the single most costly investments that a family will make. Along with the extra stresses this will add, there is also the fear factor of, “Will This Home Stand The Test of Time?” It is also important to know what YOU, as the primary investor, are getting for your money.

A home inspection is an excellent tool for you, the home buyer, to help determine not only the condition of the home, but to also help foresee any immediate unnecessary additional cost that may go unnoticed without the help of a home inspection. Home inspections are not a prediction of future performance, but can pinpoint existing problem areas.

You can call us and discuss all the aspects of your new home whenever you like. Our service is a long-term investment.

Call up and ask about their credentials and experience. If for some reason you don’t feel comfortable asking this of the inspector when speaking with them on the phone then how will you feel asking questions at the inspection. You must feel that the inspector is qualified, experienced and attentive of your needs.

This is the biggest mistake many potential new homeowners make when purchasing a home. Although the person you are considering may be very skilled, they are not trained or experienced at professional home inspections. Professional home inspection is a unique skill like no other. Professional inspectors get what we call an inspector’s instinct for problems. That instinct takes extensive training and lots of experience doing inspections to develop. Many contractors, and other trades professionals hire a professional home inspector to inspect their homes when they make a purchase.
