Yes—I encourage you to join me when possible. Walking the property together gives you a better understanding of the home and lets you ask questions in real time. I want you to feel comfortable with the process, and I’ll stay with you until your questions are answered. Payment is due after the inspection is completed to your satisfaction.

Before your inspection, take a few minutes to review the Standards of Practice, the Code of Ethics, and your inspection agreement. These documents help you understand what is covered, what is excluded, and how the process works. After the inspection, read your report carefully and start with the major defects and safety concerns. If anything seems unclear, ask questions—I want you to feel confident about the findings.

My responsibility is to evaluate the home’s condition on the day of the inspection and report what I observe. I’m a generalist, so I look for visible defects and signs of concern, not future failures or warranties. Homes naturally wear over time, so an inspection cannot predict every issue. What you do get is a professional, objective report that helps you make a confident decision.

Scheduling is simple. Contact me to request a date and time, and I’ll help you set up the inspection that fits your timeline. If you need a standard home inspection, radon testing, or mold inspection, let me know when you book so I can plan for it from the start.

Most inspections take a few hours, but the exact time depends on the size, age, and condition of the property. A larger or older home may take longer. I’d rather take the time to do it right than rush through anything important, wouldn’t you?

Absolutely. I work with buyers, sellers, and current homeowners. If you’re buying, a home inspection helps you understand the property before closing. If you’re selling, a pre-listing inspection can help you spot issues early and avoid surprises later.
