FULL HOME INSPECTION:

A home is probably the biggest purchase you’ll ever make, so it’s important to understand the condition of your investment.
I’ll provide a non-invasive evaluation of the home’s accessible structure, systems and components:
- Interior, exterior, walls, windows, and doors
- HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
- Basement, crawlspace, and structure
- Fireplace
- Roof and attic
- Electrical
- Plumbing
We encourage our clients to attend the inspection, we love interactive inspections. Ask all the questions you have. We want our clients to feel comfortable on the homes condition and leave our inspection with the ability to make well informed decisions.
While a home inspection can’t reveal every concern that exists, it will significantly reduce your anxiety by arming you with the knowledge you need to make an informed home-buying decision.
Why should you get a home inspection?

21 Reasons why Home Inspections are Important

ANNUAL HOME MAINTENANCE INSPECTION:

Especially if you’re a new homeowner, an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection can help you understand and plan for the demands of maintaining your home properly. Some tasks are seasonal, and some items require more frequent attention.
Let me help you start on the path of responsible homeownership by identifying any issues and informing you about what should be done each year to keep your home in top condition.
Even if you’re a veteran homeowner, my inspection can verify whether your home’s maintenance is sufficient, or whether any problems have developed during the past year.

ROOF INSPECTION:

Do you need just a roof inspection performed for insurance or other purposes?
I will perform a standalone Roof Inspection & Certification and evaluate your roof from the eaves, as well as walk it (when it is safe to do so) to assess its overall condition, including the presence and status of flashing, chimneys, vents, skylights, and other penetrations.
Steep or inaccessible roof? No problem!

MOLD TESTING:

You may want to have mold testing performed if you notice any of the following in any area of your home:
- You can visibly see mold on walls or ceilings and will continue to grow if not treated
- You can smell a musty odor in your home or an area of your home.
  - Mold spores give off a musty odor
- You have had any sort of leak or moisture accumulation in your home for any period of time
  - Mold almost always follows when there has been any leak or moisture accumulation of any kind in your home.
If mold goes untreated in the home, this presents as a potential health hazard including allergenic symptoms, respitory problems to include difficulty breathing, stuffy or runny nose, and other problems such as itchy skin and eyes.
We will collect samples of visible mold using non-invasive techniques and send the samples out to the lab for testing.
Once results are submitted back to us, we will provide you with a thorough report which includes the type of mold that was found along with the symptoms that are associated with the mold present in your home. We also provide you with resources to utilize in order to remediate the mold in your home.

NEW CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION:

Are you building a new home? We will inspect various phases of the construction process to make sure your project is being executed according to your specs.
We can verify that scheduled work has been completed before you make a payment to your contractor.
We will also come out prior to project completion to help you and your general contractor devise a punch list of remaining items.
This is not a code-compliance inspection for your contractor, but a New Construction Inspection for you.
Brett Kaiser's years of construction experience sets us apart in this category. You're not just hiring an inspector; you're hiring a well experienced tradesman that has performed these builds for years.

DECK INSPECTION:

Safety is the paramount concern. Many components are not visible to the untrained eye and can be dangerous and costly to repair. Remember that many decks are built by do-it-yourselfers who think a saw, hammer and nails is all that is required to build a deck.
Many fatal accidents have occurred when the ledger board is improperly adhered to the house. Components like hangers can rust over time, even if installed properly. Stairs and railings may be improperly built or maintained resulting with people tripping and falling.
Wood rot and fasteners (like nails) can work loose causing premature failure of the deck. Flashing may rust or not even exist where necessary. But a properly constructed and maintained deck may last for many years, even in the harshest climate. The cost of repairs depends on many factors. Simple updates can be relatively inexpensive, while major repairs may cost thousands of dollars.
Our non-invasive inspection will provide a comprehensive report of the condition and provide you with the necessary information for repairs. Start enjoying your deck with peace of mind today!
