Can I follow Along on your inspection?
Yes! It is YOUR Inspection, and if you would like to shadow me and ask questions along the way, I am happy to oblige. You will learn a great deal about your new home in the process.
Can a home FAIL Inspection?
Absolutely NOT! A home inspection is simply a snapshot in time, documenting a home’s condition. ALL homes have issues or conditions that could be corrected. I simply point these conditions out to my clients.
Can you fix it for me?
During every inspection, I find minor issues that it would be easier to repair in 1 minute than to report. However, California Business and Professional Code disallows repairs by inspectors. There is never a conflict of interest with a fully independent inspection.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
-
Clear personal belongings near the attic access
-
Ensure pets are secured
-
Note any specific concerns
- Allow plenty of time for your post-inspection walk-through
How do you bill?
Payment for service is appreciated at the time of inspection. I accept cash, check, credit/debit card and most AP-based payment methods (Zelle, Venmo, PayPal).
Escrow billing is available with a 20% surcharge.
