Thirty years of serving the Building & Construction Industry
Why an Inspection? Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs, environmental reports, and what the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?
Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:
1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2. Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3. Items that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home.
4. Safety hazards such as exposed wiring faulty smoke detectors which may lead to injury.
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).
Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective. Don't kill your deal over things that don't matter. It is inappropriate to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure, or nit-picky items.
It is important to hire a certified inspector to assure the peace of mind needed to make quality decisions. I have thirty years experience in the building industry holding inspection credentials from: American Lumber Standards, ( ALS ) Redwood Inspection Service, ( RIS ) Western Red Cedar Lumber Association, ( WRCLA ) and the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors ( NACHI )
My inspections are done in accordance with the guidelines set forth by NACHI, and processed on line through Report Host, both leaders in the property inspection industry. Please take the time to research the nachi.org web site, along with reporthost.com
