Message from the President
Baker Street Home Inspection Services has been providing accurate and insightful information to our valued clients since 1985. Over the last twenty years we have reviewed over 30,000 homes and buildings to the satisfaction of our clients.

Whether you are buying an older house, buying new from a builder or request us to solve a problem with the house you own, our inspection and consulting services are focused on your individual requirements. For that reason, no two inspections or consultations are ever alike. That is why we encourage you to attend the inspection so that you may effectively communicate your ideas to us.

Once our initial service is complete we remain available to you for additional telephone advice indefinitely. Think of Baker Street as your home care consultant for as long as you own your home.

We look forward to working with you. You will find our staff very knowledgeable and always willing to serve.

Sincerely,

Jeff Clarke, CET, RHI

FACILITY INSPECTIONS FOR BUILDING OWNERS.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Condition Survey:

The Condition Survey provides the decision makers and repair people with an excellent orientation of the building. Floor plans and building elevations are optional. The Condition Survey is an inventory of major systems and the evaluation of functional components and systems. Items which are not performing their intended purposes are determined. The Condition Survey briefly discusses what building elements are in need of repair, replacement or required to be installed.

The Rehabilitation Plan:

The Rehabilitation Plan provides the owner with a customized action plan based on the findings of the Condition Survey. It discusses what methods of repair are appropriate. Each path will be itemized and prioritized, cost estimates are provided for each path and costs are reflective of the owner's purchasing realities.

The Rehabilitation Plan will also allow decision makers to plan budgets for the short-term and long-term. Value engineering is intrinsic to your action plan; that is the most cost effective and viable solution to achieve the desired result.

The Technical Audit of Operating Systems:

Are the utility bills too high? Alternative or supplementary energy conserving strategies can be documented. This plan will provide the building owner with an annual savings on the operating costs of the building.

Maintenance Schedule:

A dollar of prevention now will definitely avoid a thousand dollar(s) repair down the road. The critical challenge is to ensure that proper maintenance is provided to reach functional element of the building correctly and on time. All buildings are different. Therefore, each building requires a unique maintenance plan. A maintenance plan is also designed to incorporate your realities such as whether in- house or contracted help should be relied upon.

Building Problems - Investigation and Solutions:

Leaks? Comfort problems? Cracking? We zero in on the root cause of the problem. We strive to prescribe the most cost effective and permanent solution. Once again, our impartiality and knowledge of repair techniques will undoubtedly save you unnecessary expense and anguish.

Feasibility Studies:

Should you move or add to your building? What building code requirements and construction costs would you be faced with? What are the building and design options. Our Feasibility Study will provide you with the answers.

Project Planning:

Planning is everything. Execution of that plan should be simple and rewarding. Our goal is to help guide you towards the most timely and cost effective path in order to achieve your primary construction and design objectives.
