We're independent.
I work for you. I'll give you the
straight facts about the condition of the home you are about to
purchase.
We're thorough and detailed.
I usually do only 2 inspections per day
(in the summer, the long Boise days sometimes allow me to do 3). This
allows me the time I need to do a thorough inspection of your home and
explain my findings to you. This also means we're a little more
expensive than some of our competitors, but don't let price be the only
consideration when choosing an inspector. A cheap inspection may be the
most expensive thing you'll ever buy. Cheap inspectors are often
uninsured, lack experience, provide less service and don't have the
specialized equipment necessary to perform a thorough home inspection.
A cheap inspection may end up costing you thousands down the road
because of missed or unreported defects.
We're experienced.
I have been in the construction industry
for 19 years and have personally inspected over 1900 homes. I am also a
former licensed general contractor from Sacramento, CA (#781522), I
have built and remodeled many houses. This background not only makes me
a better Home Inspector but enables me to offer you the valuable
'fix-it yourself' advice you may need as a new home owner.

We're Qualified.
Did you know that in the great state of
Idaho, there are no regulations or licensing requirements for home
inspectors? That's right; anyone with a flashlight can call themselves
a home inspector. This is why it is so important to only hire an ASHI
certified inspector. In order to become ASHI certified, I had to prove
myself by successfully passing the National Home Inspectors Technical
and Ethics Exams, I was required to send ASHI a random sampling of my
reports to insure that they met their strict standards and I had to
prove that I had performed more than 250 inspections.
To maintain my ASHI certification, I am
required to attend classes annually to stay on top of the constantly
changing construction industry. Essentially, ASHI has pre qualified me
for you, saving you time and making it easier for you to choose the
right inspector. Please visit www.ashi.org for more information.
We write better reports.
My reports are computer-generated, easy
to understand and well-organized, not to mention detailed and thorough.
They are specific to your house and type of construction, not a generic
preprinted checklist. I use color-coded narratives for easy navigation
and include pictures and illustrations so you don't need a construction
background to understand what I'm talking about.
We go there.
I cover the entire Treasure Valley from
the Oregon border to Mountain Home, including Boise, Nampa, Caldwell,
Eagle, Meridian, Star, Kuna, Middleton and even up to McCall, Donnelly
and Cascade. However, travel charges are added for areas outside of a
35 mile radius of Meridian.
My business philosophy is simple.
I inspect your home as if my family was
going to live in it. You'll learn things about the home you wouldn't
find out any other way, such as maintenance tips, safety concerns and
estimated life expectancies of vital components. I will take the time
to explain the systems and components of the home, show you where your
main disconnects are and answer any questions you may have. I'm also
available for questions even after you move in, I want to be your
'building consultant for life'.
My Guarantee to You.
I don't like paying for services that
I'm not happy with and I don't expect you to have to pay for my
services if you're unhappy. As stated before, I'm so confident about
the quality of the service I provide, that if you're not completely
satisfied with my inspection I will refund your money and pay another
ASHI certified inspector of your choice to re-inspect the property.
Boise is a great place to live.
Don't take the chance of tarnishing your home buying experience by
hiring the wrong home inspector.
