The only Home Inspection Company in Columbia that brings you experience from years of being a HUD inspector as well as over 15 years of experience in the termite/pest control industry. Now in business since 2001 we can add 8 more years of home inspection experience to the list which already includes years in various areas of construction along with completing the builders course and L-1 Appraisal course. We were the first (and only) company to be licensed, certified and insured to perform termite and home inspections. Unfortunately we no longer provide the termite CL-100 inspection. Our goal is to identify potential problems that would affect the purchasing or selling of a home. We will never rush through your home or termite inspection to make it to the next inspection. If inspecting a home takes longer than normal, so be it. When hired to perform an inspection you can be certain that you have our full attention. We will not reduce the amount of attention paid to your potential investment to save our selfs some time. We intend to give you the highest quality inspection at the lowest possible price! High quality at a low price We also can offer you high quality at a low price!! We do this by not having to pay franchise fees, high overhead cost, being affiliated with other companies that want us to promote their coupons or discounts (that you end up paying for in the home inspection price anyway) and no price pressure that the franchise companies face. So we can bring the real savings to you in the form of a lower price inspection, but not a lower quality inspection. If you want to ‘get what you pay for’ then do not hire us go with the ‘big guys’ and pay the high price or go with the ‘little guy’ and hope he is really qualified. With us you get more than what you pay for, the best of both worlds, high quality at a low price. We believe in charging proper prices based on the time to do the inspection and report making process. What a Home Inspection is The inspection is a reasonable effort to disclose the condition of the property on the day of the inspection--- a look at the home with an experienced eye. A home inspector conducts a visual examination of the property and can check for visual defects or functional problems. The process can take several hours during which time the house is inspected from the ground up. The inspector looks into attic, enters crawl spaces, and examines the roof. Also the inspector reports on the heating and cooling system, electrical, siding/exterior finish, fireplace and chimney, doors and windows, foundation, water penetration, water heater, porches/decks, gutters and down spouts, grounds, walks and driveways, plumbing, ventilation, walls, floors, ceilings, insulation, caulking, interior, kitchen, bedrooms, garage, and built in appliances. The inspector can check for visual defects or functional problems. However, the inspector cannot disassemble walls or systems, but only examine accessible functional parts of a property. The findings are provided in the form of a comprehensive report emailed to the client or with the client's permission it is sent to the real estate agent by the next day. Are Home Inspections needed You need a home inspection if you are looking to buy a home. A home inspection can help you avoid costly and unpleasant surprises and provide peace of mind. It will help you identify the house that is right for you, and alert you to potential concerns prior to closing any deals. It also will teach you about your potential home and its operating systems. You need a home inspection if you are selling your house. A pre- marketlng home inspection provides the seller with an objective evaluation of the home's condition before the house is put on the market. Consequently, you are provided with guidance in preparing your house for maximum sales appeal. A home inspection not only encourages a faster sale and a better price, it also helps ensure compliance with disclosure requirements. You may want a home inspection if you are a homeowner. Even if you do not intend to sell your home, a thorough inspection of your house and property every four to five years can yield significant returns. First and foremost, a professional inspector can identify conditions that may be present or may lead to safety hazards for family members. Furthermore, periodic inspections can help detect potential problems early, before they become severe and costly. Be present at the Inspection It is important that you, as the buyer or seller, be present during the two or three hour inspection. Also prior to the inspection, prepare a list of questions or concerns about the property and bring your list to the inspection. By being present at the inspection you will see first hand the condition of each component of the property so you will have a clear understanding of the property and of the inspection report. At the end of the inspection, you will know much more about the home than when the inspection began. We welcome you to accompany us through the inspection. We will inspect the home from top to bottom, and inside and out. We hope that your buying experience is a pleasure. Make sure you know that the home is the right choice on the biggest investment you may ever make! |
