A bad home inspection turns your joy of buying a home for your family into the nightmare of the money pit. That's funny in the movies but not when you and your family are in the starring roles. Being saddled with thousands of dollars of unexpected repairs may be the least of your worries. A poorly done or badly reported home inspection can leave you with a home that is unsafe to live in as well as one costing you a lot of unexpected money.

Having a properly done and objective home inspection is doubly important today with the amount of foreclosed, bank owned and short sale homes on the market. It takes an experienced, independent home inspector to know when deferred maintenance is just cosmetic or presents a real issue for the value and habitability of the home. Even if you're told the seller won't make repairs or adjust the price you need to know if the home is even safe to live in with issues like water leaks and mold creating real health hazards in many homes for sale.

Protecting yourself is easy. Hire me, the dealkiller, as your home inspector. and you get the benefit of my 30+ years of experience in home inspection and home building. Equally important, I am totally independent and NEVER seek referrals from real estate agents or any other person with a vested interest in the sale of the home. The only party to the deal that I feel obliged to be fair to is YOU.

So whether you need to schedule a home inspection or just have questions please feel welcome to give me a call at 1-800-573-3170 as I am always ready to help you in any way I can.
