Frequently asked questions
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Every year I take continuing education courses. Prior to becoming a home inspector, I actually performed most if not all of the trades required to build a house. This experience allows me to find any material or workmanship defects that many inspectors would miss.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Home inspections are based on square footage of the home. At this time, base price for a home under 1500 is $375. For every 500 square feet above that there is small incremental increase.
What types of customers have you worked with?
First time buyers through people that own hundreds of units.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Being able to tell a young couple that thought the house might be a tear down was basically a sound home that just needed a lot of TLC, or being able to tell a couple that was truely in love with a home that had tens of thousands of dollars of problems that would bury them in dept.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Hire someone that is not only certified but has actually worked in some, or all of the trades required to build a house. Be cautious of hiring an inspector that has paid thousands of dollars and taken some courses to become certified, pass the test but knows nothing of construction.
