Home Inspector serving Aston, Brookhaven, Havertown, Wynnewood, , Philadelphia, PA and surrounding areas.

Dear Friend:

When you select knowledgeable, experienced, qualified and helpful professionals to assist you, you take much of the risk and worry out of a real estate transaction. This is true if you are an experienced buyer or seller, or if this is your first home.

As in most states, Pennsylvania law sets a very low standard for home inspectors. The truth is, it’s easy to become a home inspector. But, it’s not so easy to become a really good home inspector. Modern homes are complex systems. Older homes, adapted to modern living, may be even more complex.

To help you make smart decisions when buying a home, you need a really good home inspector, one who is well educated and well qualified – beyond the minimum requirements of the law - one who is working in your best interest.

So, what distinguishes me from my competition?

I am better educated, better qualified and I am a better communicator than many of my competitors.

I’m better educated. Effectively, PA law requires only 8 hours a year of continuing education. Last year, I reported 50 hours. That’s 50 hours of verifiable, accredited activity. It doesn’t include the countless hours I spend researching and reading on my own.

I’m better qualified. As a former carpentry contractor, I have hands-on experience in home remodeling and new home construction. I am an ASHI Certified Inspector. ASHI, the American Society of Home Inspectors is the oldest, largest and most well respected organization of home inspectors in North America. In addition to these – what I consider to be minimum requirements for someone in my field, I am certified by the International Code Council (the people who develop our building codes) as a Residential Building Inspector, a Residential Mechanical Inspector, a Residential Plumbing Inspector and a Residential Electrical Inspector. Very few PA home inspectors can make this claim. I have also qualified as a Disaster Housing Inspector with the Partnership for Response and Recovery, a contractor for FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

I'm a better communicator. I speak in language that you will find easy to understand and I present my written report in a format and language that is easily understood

Comparing inspection reports may be the single best method of comparing home inspectors. This written communication is what you'll be left with long after the inspection is complete. Make sure that the format and the language are easy for you to understand. If an inspector won't show you a sample of his/her work, find one who will.

I take great pride in "Helping you to know you're home".

Service begins with a live voice to answer the phone during business hours and is carried on beyond the inspection with an invitation to my clients to call me "anytime about anything".
