Over 25 Years Experience
Expectation. Exceeded.
You’ll receive:
- A detailed and thorough home inspection of all items listed on CREIA’s Standards of Practice
- A PDF computer generated report with color pictures emailed to you the day of the inspection, usually within a few hours.
- Comprehensive explanation of the findings with pictures at the conclusion of the inspection (not just a 10 minute summary) and unlimited consultation thereafter. For a typical single family residence this review usually takes at least an hour and has taken up to two hours long. I will be there no matter how long it takes until you fully understand the severity of all my findings.
I have an FAA Airman Certification to legally allow me to use a drone at MY discretion (if the property is not in a restricted airspace and weather permitting) to evaluate the inaccessible roofing areas. I do not charge extra for this service if needed.
