Education included
I am an engineer and professionally trained, you’ll get an education about your house along with your inspection. Some inspectors prefer that you leave them alone while they inspect, I prefer that you accompany me and ask a lot of questions. You’ll get information about what we’re looking at, how it works, what’s wrong with it, how to fix it, options for improvement, and so on. First-time buyers especially benefit from my unique service. We can take whatever time you need to understand everything, since I generally schedule only one inspection a day.
Experience
You benefit from my knowledge and experience. You can be confident that I will find out everything that can be reasonably discovered in the time we have for the inspection. Because I know where to look and what to look for. I know where contractors like to go for short cut, and how to find the problem. Because I’ve been a contractor and have lots of experience in construction
Focus on safety
Safety issues are important to everyone, so I’ll point out anything that could hurt you or your family. I explain them and the risks to you and give you suggestion how to deal with them.
More in depth
I have enough experience to find out why something is not the way it should be. I am going just refer you to other contractors to find out what is going and leave you alone. You’ll get and inspection that exceeds the standards, in being more specific about the deficiencies we find.
Useful written report
Your written report is a list of everything you need to pay attention to. You can use it as a punch list. You can just check off what you wish to negotiate with the sellers and give it to them. Using a checklist to make sure I cover everything.
Mold-savvy inspection
I am not a kind of inspector who just simply concerned about mold, which can have serious health and financial issue, for homeowners. Since I do mold inspections, I automatically keep my eyes open for mold during my inspections. If I find anything that even looks like mold on the inspection, I am not just going simply to recommend you to call a mold specialist that cost you more money and time for Sampling and laboratory analysis, I’ll discuss it with you and help you decide what to do. Sometimes cleaning or limited repair may be all you need.
Home Maintenance Checklist
Keep your home in shape year-round. A maintenance schedule is the best way to manage your household maintenance budget, to protect your investment and to prevent problems in future.
Just like regular oil changes for your car keep your engine happy and healthy, keeping up with regular home maintenance tasks will keep you from future headaches and wasted money. The good news is that you can do the majority of it on your own without much experience. Get help from Google if you really get stuck
SAFETY FIRST – Homeowners often want to perform maintenance themselves to save money. It is important to bear in mind that there are many areas of home maintenance that are best left to qualified persons.
We’ve listed tasks that need to be done monthly, quarterly, annually and seasonally:
- Change the locks on all exterior doors. Use a dead bolt for better security. Go through the house and Check all locks, deadbolts, handles, knobs, racks and etc… on your doors and windows. If anything doesn’t work right, fix or replace them.
- It is very important to correct trip hazards such as broken or uneven walks and driveways, loose or torn carpet or uneven flooring. Correct unsafe stairways, railing and landings… ,before any accident happen to your family. Re-seal any cracks.
- Inspect your fire extinguisher(s). Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors as necessary, make sure you test the detectors, your detectors should have a “test” button. If the alarm sounds, you’re good to go. If not, replace batteries immediately and test again. Replace the batteries in smoke detectors every six month.
- Make any electrical improvements. Always and always be extra careful when working with electricity. Check that all outlets work; Test all GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets regularly with pressing the test button. Label the circuits in electrical panels.
