Home Inspection Testimonials
"I want to thank you so much for your thoughtfulness in performing our inspection. It was a positive and educational experience to say the least. We appreciate your valuable expertise and time. The pre-listing inspection was certainly the right strategy. We are truly grateful for your time, patience and guidance. As a result we received close to our asking price. Linda M.
"Just wanted to say thank you for performing our home inspection. Based on your report we were able to demonstrate to the sellers some additional flaws in the home and were able to get the price dropped. So the home inspection paid huge dividends!" Plus, your detailed report and summary provided a great road map for our home improvement projects. Lastly, your guidance and education was terrific. I felt like we were on our own home improvement show. Paul and Cara T.

D.I.Y. Tips from your Home Inspector
Helpful tips and links by your Professional Home Inspector Net Work!
Ten Tips
Sellers can speed their home inspection by following these suggestions. The inspection will go smoother, with fewer concerns to delay closing.
- Confirm that water, electric and gas service are on, with gas pilot lights burning.
- Ensure pets won't hinder the inspection. Ideally, they should be removed from premises or secured outside. Tell your agent about any pets at home.
- Replace burned out bulbs to avoid a "Light is inoperable" report that may suggest an electrical problem.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace dead batteries.
- Clean or replace dirty HVAC air filters. They should fit securely.
- Remove stored items, debris and wood from foundation. These may be cited as "conducive conditions" for termites.
- Remove items blocking access to HVAC equipment, electric service panels, water heaters, attics and crawl spaces.
- Unlock areas the inspector must access - attic doors or hatches, electric service panels, closets, fence gates and crawl spaces.
- Trim tree limbs to 10' from the roof and shrubs from the house to allow access.
- Attend to broken or missing items like doorknobs, locks and latches; windowpanes, screens and locks; gutters, downspouts and chimney caps.
Checking these areas before your home inspection is an investment in selling your property. Your real estate agent will thank you!
