why Us not them?
Right up front, we’ll let you know a key detail about the home inspection industry: Most Inspectors are trying to schedule at least two home inspections every day.
Not us. We focus only on one.
Don’t get us wrong. They may still be able to produce detailed reports and check off the boxes that need checking.
But two completely thorough and detailed inspections can quickly become a long workday.
Here and now we are going to aim to be as transparent as possible with you.
We’re going to explain how the inspection industry typically operates. What that means for you as the consumer, and four distinct reasons why we believe our one inspection a day policy will lead you getting the best bang for your buck.
Four Reasons our Policy, protects you.
1.) Less Rushing, More Focus.
Like we said, we want to be as transparent as possible. So we will flat out tell you the truth of the home inspection business. Just like any other industry there are a wide range of “types” of inspector. Some, you want to avoid at all cost. These look at a house with a literal checklist ticking off each box as the fly through a home and say the whole thing was inspected in under an hour. Reports will have minimal pictures if any and there is very little narrative as to what the condition of each defect is. Just “functioning and non-functioning.” We all know the world is not that black and white. Luckily there aren’t too many people still doing things like that.
Most inspectors want to provide a good service. They accomplish that. They will give you pictures of every defect they find, an explanation and what to do about it. This is an invaluable service. If you’re reading this then that means you’re smart and you’re looking for someone who can provide this service to you. So you probably know that you can’t afford NOT to get a home inspection. It is crucial that you understand the condition of the property before you buy.
Because of this a good inspector’s schedule can fill up quick. We’re all human, we all want to make money. Since inspectors get paid for every job they do they want to take on as much work as they think they can. This is why so many good inspectors choose to do two inspections everyday. The thing is, a proper home inspection can easily take 4-5 hours. In theory many of us plan on them taking about 3.5. On paper it makes sense, you have your commute, usually 1-2 hours since most of us travel, and then two inspections. That’s a bout an average 8-9 hour workday.
If you’re here, it’s because you’re smart. You know that things in reality tend to unfold differently than they do on paper. One odd ball defect you haven’t seen before, somebody is late to your first inspection of the day, or if a house just has more little problems than most. It all causes things to slow down. Before you know it you’re struggling to get to your second inspection on time. Or you just had a very long day and your mind is focused on what you’ll do for supper and not on the house in front of you like it should be. When you’re constantly thinking about how you’re going to get to the next stop on your schedule. Not on what you’re doing in the moment. That’s when a good inspector can make the mistakes a bad inspector would make. Things get overlooked and people become unhappy.
It’s not worth the risk. We focus on one home a day, and that gets our whole and undivided attention. We get that you are looking to protect a huge investment so we will use every tool in our toolkit. To help you do that. We choose to slow down our days so that they revolve around you and your home.
2.) Reports written with you in mind.
Now more than ever you need clarity. This is a big decision! The last thing you need is another thing clouding your perception of the truth. We are here to help you see thing as they are!
Not only will we do what we can to find the facts. But we will make sure they are presented to you in a way you can understand. That way you can responsibly weigh your options. And properly make the decision that's in your best interest.
3.) Reports delivered Quickly.
We understand your life is busy and you need to move on with it. Since you are our sole focus, we won't be leaving your inspection to go off to another and then rush trying to somehow finish both reports before the sun goes down. Your peace of mind is our mission, we’ll take our time on site with you and get straight to work on finalizing and delivering your report right away!
4.) we go ABOVE the agreed upon standards of Practice.
Remember that first Inspector we talked about earlier? The one with the checklist report? Well here’s another little truth about home inspections. Home inspectors operate around what is known as the S.O.P, or Standards Of Practice. This is the legal definition of what constitutes a home inspection. When you hire us you’ll get to look at a copy of it. The S.O.P outlines everything a home inspector is required to do in order for their home inspection to be deemed as acceptable by the licensing and certification authorities. According to that S.O.P Inspectors must inspect a “representative amount” of certain items within the home. I.e electrical receptacles, windows, doors, etc. This “representative amount” Is classified as one item per room. So technically an inspector could walk into a bedroom, look around, open one window, test a plug, and bounce. We won’t ever do that. We walk along every wall in the home. And test every item we come across. If it’s accessible and safe we test it. Opening every window, ensuring doors don’t rub and walls aren’t cracking.
We don't want you to have any unpleasant surprises after you decide to go through with a large purchase. So we go out of our way to make sure we find anything and everything that could cost you in the future.
Please note: the only things we wouldn't test would be non-standard systems. Things that aren't in the majority of homes. An idea of what that would be would be security alarms, pool pumps and filters, generators, saunas, heated floors, etc.
