Customer care and quality client relations starts with honest communication

The true state of a person's home is often a mystery. Few homeowners have intimate knowledge of their home's wiring, plumbing, foundation, and roof. Big problems like leaks can persist for years without the owner knowing. However, smaller problems are harder to find. These are the issues that can cost home buyers a fortune years after they move into their home.

The role of the home inspector is to find all of these issues, whether they be large or small. Experience is often the key distinction between a failed or successful home inspection. Our experience in a variety of industry disciplines makes us uniquely suited to conduct the most thorough inspections in the industry.

Communication is crucial when developing a relationship with clients. In many ways, inspectors are like the home's doctor. After an inspection, they have an in-depth knowledge of key home structures and systems, which they will then report to you. If you have questions, they will have answers. They can even help you how your approach to future home maintenance and energy conservation can save you money as a homeowners. In other words, we want to earn your trust.

Dream home or money pit? How home inspections protect your future

If you're considering buying a home, emotions are going to come into play. This is especially true when you fall in love with a particular home. If you found your “dream home” it is especially important to work with an inspector who will provide you with an impartial report. In fact, they protect you from purchasing a home that could become a money pit instead of the place you've always dreamed of.

Our extensive contracting background makes us uniquely suited to protect your investment, and your future. We've been involved in home construction, home renovation, and home inspections, which means we know this industry from every angle. This experience is vital, because it gives us an intimate knowledge of every home structure and system, including:

• Roofs
• Plumbing/sewer
• Basements
• Attics
• Crawlspaces
• Heating systems
• Cooling systems
• Electric and wiring
• Outdoor structures
• Foundations

Overlooking any of these home features could result in years of stress and regret. Any problems overlooked now will likely result in serious problems down the road. If your equity is spent on repairs that could have been avoided, all you're left with is a money pit that you'll grow to resent.

Our AirView™ Roof Inspection Process explained

Roof inspections are arguably the most important part of any inspection, and often the most difficult. Fixing or replacing a roof is the most expensive repair a homeowner will ever face. A compromised roof can cost you even more than the repair if you end up with water damage in your walls or ceiling, and can even result in damage to your furniture and belongings.

It's important to fully inspect the roof to find leaks or rotten areas, and then assess the remaining lifespan of the entire roof. You can use this information to motivate the seller to make repairs or assist you in negotiating a lower selling price. However, your protection is only as good as your home inspector.

Most home inspectors use a pair of binoculars to conduct their roof inspections. Have you ever held a pair of binoculars? If so, you know they're not easy to keep steady and are often difficult to keep in focus. Gables and odd angles can cause problem areas to remain entirely hidden from the inspector. Do you really want to put your faith in a roof inspection done from the ground level of the property?

We developed our AirView™ Process to eliminate inspection guesswork that can cost homeowners a fortune in repairs. We use a drone outfitted with a high resolution camera to inspect every inch of your roof. Pictures and video are then reviewed to find leaky or rotten areas. Our roof contracting experience helps us pinpoint areas that are most likely to have these problems, and the high resolution cameras allow us to zoom in for a close up look. This is arguably more accurate than a physical inspection, which is not possible on many roofs.

Other potential issues our home inspectors look for include:

• Broken or damaged roofing materials
• Damaged, broken, or worn roof tiles and shingles
• Sagging, especially between rafters and along ridges
• Shingle particles in rooftop rain gutters
• Rust on metal surfaces
• Missing or damaged flashing
• Adequate, functioning ventilation
• Pooling water

To back up the integrity of your AirView™ Roof Inspection, we also provide you with the Platinum Roof Protection Plan at no charge. This 5 year roof leak protection guarantees the quality of your inspection, and prevents you from worrying about expensive repairs in the future. For more information about this incredible protection plan, please review all policy documentation.
