My goal is to provide you with the most exceptional service of greatest value to you.
If you hire me, I will give you the right information you need in order to make the best decisions. This may be the most important decision and biggest investment that you'll ever make. And I'm honored to help you at this moment.
I will show you how your home works, how to maintain it, and how to save home energy. I will show you everything that I inspect, and everything that you should know about the home or building.
I will provide you with an inspection report that is easy-to-read and clear-to-understand. It will have a short summary report included.
I will provide you with a 100-page home maintenance book, which will include information on what a house problem looks like before it becomes a major defect. It will explain how to make home repairs yourself. It will also provide you with home maintenance checklist - things to do at every seasons of the year.
I will use an infrared camera in certain circumstances, which allows me to see things that can't be seen by the naked eye.
If necessary, I will also use a moisture meter, GFCI and AFCI testers, crawlspace gear, and a drone (additional charge).
And I make myself available to my clients at anytime, particularly when they experience a problem with their house.
