Your Helpful Home Inspection Report is not a "one size fits all" checklist report. It is a comprehensive, user-friendly, typewritten narrative describing your home and its systems. Any material defects found will be described together with the inspector's recommendations on how to deal with them. Helpful Hints for the proper care, maintenance and improvement of your home will also be included, plus your free copy of How to Operate Your Home.

Your sturdy 3-ring binder includes:

"Helping you to know you're home"

    Always a fair price for a great service...

    Fees for home inspection vary based on the style, age and selling price of the home. 

    Do not let cost be a factor in deciding whether or not to have a home inspection.  The knowledge gained from an inspection is well worth the cost.  The lowest-priced inspector is not necessarily a bargain.  The inspector's qualifications, including his/her experience, training, and professional affiliations, should be the most important consideration.

    Professionals at the top of their field do not attract clients with low fees and "special" offers. Lower priced usually means less qualified, less experienced, and less knowledgeable.

    You wouldn't hire an inspector who said, "I’m the least knowledgeable inspector in town. My report is hard to read and even harder to understand. Don’t worry though, I know just enough about buildings to get by. Oh, and by the way, should you have questions in the future, don't bother calling - I’ll probably be out of the business by then."  Beware, this may be the unspoken message of the low priced inspector.

Alan,
We just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for performing the home inspection for us last week.  We really appreciated the honesty and thoroughness of the inspection that you performed.  We completed the survey and gave you "5's" across the board!  We'll certainly recommend you to any of our family and friends in the future.
Take care,
  • Bernie & Casey D.
Alan,

  • Nikki A.
Alan,
Thank you for coming today to inspect the home I plan to buy.  You were very helpful explaining everything you looked at today.  I would definitely recommend you to other prospective home buyers.
  • Kyle B.
Alan,
Just wanted to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job.  It has been a great learning experience.  You may pass my name to your clients should you need reference.
  • Ko V.
Hi Alan,
It has been my very great pleasure to refer my customers to you and as always, you did not disappoint.  Mark and his parents were extremely pleased with your expert and professional inspection.  Comments have always expressed the fact that you not only inspect, but explain the purpose and life expectancy of each component.  Most importantly, how to maintain and get the most efficiency from things.  Thanks again and I shall continue to recommend you and your company.
  • Joe D., REALTOR
Thanks, Alan ... you were very helpful ... I especially appreciated you explaining things to me ... with a great deal of patience, I might add ...
  • Lila A.
Dear Alan,
I cannot tell you how impressed I was with your inspection today!  I will definitely fill out the survey - only good things to report about you!!!   Thanks for the report - I can't believe you finished it so quickly!
  • Anne Marie L.
Dear Alan,
Thanks so much for the informative and - as advertised - helpful inspection this morning.  I've never heard more information freely given at an inspection...
  • Brian M.
Alan,
I was very happy with the service you provided to my client and thank you for sending the report to me so quick[ly].
  • Mark T., REALTOR
Thank you, Alan, for the fast turn around.  I appreciated the time you spent with me and feel much more competent in caring for my home.
  • Nancy M.
Alan,
You far out-performed the person who did the home inspection on my current home.  It is hard to get top quality service at a reasonable price now-a-days but you definitely provided it for us.
  • Mike C.
