Inspections of Home and Building Sellers
Selling a home can be more stressful than buying a home. Vendors can be vulnerable to the home inspection process as a condition of sale. Prudent home sellers eliminate any surprises by having a competent inspection performed for them first.

Problem Solving Inspections
Identifying a house problem, then getting quotations from contractors to repair it may not be wise. No diagnosis? No prognosis? It is a bit like falling very ill and going directly to the pharmacist for a prescription, avoiding the doctor altogether. A home inspector is your knowledgeable, impartial consultant who can evaluate the functional problem and prescribe the most cost effective solution to repair it.
