Why you should have an inspection on your current home without the intent to sell or buy?

Myth #1  "I only need a home inspection if I'm buying or selling."

Fact: A home inspection completed once a year can reduce the amount of damage and cost of repairs in a home.

Why? Home owners do not realize subtle changes within their homes. You may not notice the small amount of wood rot at the garage doors, mildew under cabinets, brown stains in the bathrooms or kitchen on the ceilings. When you add the cost of a COMPLETED HOME INSPECTION and the cost of repairs at that time, the cost can be fractions of the cost if not found for another year.

 Every home inspection is completed as if you were buying your home again. We strive to show all defects, but not limited to the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, structural, roofing, drainage systems and SPECIALIZING IN CHILD SAFETY.

As the father of three Beautiful girls, which are very active to say the least (named Amber, Ashley & Abagail), I feel compelled to help everyone protect all children and share what I have learned over the last many years. Children are precious, vulnerable, our greatest asset and need to be protected at all cost.

Myth #2  "I'm buying a new home and there will be no defects."

Fact:  A brand new completed home can have defects that range from minor to major.

Why?  Many Building Contractors use subcontractors and are not always present to oversee that the work is performed properly. There are many aspects of construction that should be inspected prior to moving into the next phase. Many "Reputable Contractors" are using Home Inspectors between phases to be ascertained Blue prints are followed and using standard building practices.

FYI:  Blue Prints have much needed information that the Structural Engineer &/or Architect has specified such as:

bulletwindows have specifications for type (aluminum vs. vinyl), fastening patterns, wind loads, color
bulletdoors have specifications for type (wood vs. steel vs. fiberglass) fastening patterns, wind loads
bullethurricane anchoring systems which could include "Simpson Strong ties", threaded rods, cables, hurricane shutters
bulletnailing patterns of wood siding and roofing systems
bulletroofs are specified to type of lumber, cross bracing, size of headers over doors & windows  

There is much more information provided on "Blue Prints" that can be overlooked. The above is only a small portion of what is listed.
