Yes, absolutely. I’m here to answer any questions or provide support even after the inspection is complete. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and informed throughout the entire process.

Most of the findings in a home inspection involve maintenance recommendations or minor imperfections. The issues that truly matter fall into four categories: • Major defects, such as structural failures. • Conditions that could lead to major defects, like a small roof leak. • Issues that may affect financing, occupancy, or insurance. • Safety hazards, such as exposed electrical wiring. By focusing on these critical areas, I help you address what’s most important for your investment and safety.

During the inspection, I’ll evaluate all major systems and components of the home, including the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. I’ll explain my findings as we go and provide a detailed report afterward, helping you fully understand your property.

Yes, I encourage you to join me during the inspection. Walking through the property together allows me to explain important details about your home. You can ask questions, share concerns, and see firsthand what I’m inspecting.

To make the most of your inspection, review these resources: Standards of Practice to understand what’s covered. Code of Ethics to learn the professional standards I follow. The inspection agreement outlining the scope of work. The full inspection report, not just the summary. The home maintenance book, which includes tips for repairs and seasonal checklists.

If you choose me as your inspector, I promise to provide my best effort. Inspections rely heavily on the inspector’s dedication, and I take pride in delivering a thorough and professional service to every client.

A home inspector evaluates the property’s condition on the day of the inspection. The report is based on visible observations and does not predict future problems or include warranties. While I identify material defects and safety concerns, ongoing maintenance is the homeowner’s responsibility.
