New Construction Phase Inspections
We’ll provide you with New Construction Phase Inspections. Code is the minimum passing grade. In essence, when you were in school, a "D" was a passing grade, but it was not the best. Why settle for a code inspector's judgment that it "passed"? This is a great tool for you. The local Code Enforcement Officer is not trained to conduct home inspections, so why would you not want to protect your investment?

What Really Matters?
Buying a home… The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklists, photographs, environmental reports, and what the inspector says during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?
Relax… You are about to hire the best home consulting/inspection company in the area. We are professionally trained, state-licensed, and nationally certified to complete the inspection task at hand. You will be presented with a comprehensive computerized inspection report with color digital photos, printed on site and emailed to you. Also, you will receive additional materials to assist you with the home buying process and future property maintenance.
Most of your inspection will include maintenance recommendations, life expectancies, and minor imperfections. However, issues that truly matter will fall into four categories:
- Major defects, such as a structural failure.
- Issues that could lead to major defects, like a small roof-flashing leak.
- Issues that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home.
- Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often, serious problems can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).
Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective. Don’t kill your deal over minor issues. It is inappropriate to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure, or nit-picky items.
