Seller/Pre-Listing Inspection:

This inspection is ordered by a homeowner prior to a sale of their home. Eventually your buyers are going to conduct an inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first.
Having an inspection performed ahead of time helps in many other ways:

1. It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical third-party.

2. It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that ...

a. Defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks later.
b. There is no delay in obtaining the Use and Occupancy permit.
c. You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.

3. It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.

4. It may relieve prospect's concerns and suspicions.

5. It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement.

6. It may alert you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.

Buyer Inspection:

This inspection is ordered by the potential buyer of a property. Generally during the 10-day inspection period granted in most Arizona Real Estate Contracts. This inspection will reveal any findings to the buyer, and the buyer then chooses to proceed with the sale, counter offer, or in rare cases back out of the deal.

Re-inspection:

This type of inspection is ordered when the initial inspection is complete and the list of suggested repairs is completed. For a much reduced cost, an inspector will come back and look over any repairs to be sure that all are completed properly, and up to the most current standards.

Home Preservation:

This is for the homeowner who wants to be sure that necessary repairs/improvements are being done. Initially the home is inspected and the full fee is charged. After the initial inspection we will return once a year to do a complete inspection, at a significantly reduced set-price for up to 2 years. This is geared toward the homeowner who wants to be sure that proper maintenance is occurring. This is a great idea for anyone!

Warranty Inspection:

This is for the smart shopper who has purchased a new home, which is still under warranty.
We will inspect the home, and find any issues that need to be addressed. Once we are finished, you can request the builder complete the repairs as you are still warranted. We check things that typical homeowner's may not be aware of.

New Construction Inspection:

This is for the smart shopper who is building or having a new home built. For one price, an additional $50 added to the regular home inspection cost, we will inspect the home in 3 phases (All of the following elements of the new construction inspections can be purchased at one time or as separate components to coincide with the construction timeline):

1) Pre-drywall or dried-in inspection: this is an inspection performed prior to the dry wall being installed. It gives the inspector a good view of framing, plumbing, air conditioning systems, and electrical.

2) Move-in inspection: this home inspection is performed when construction is finished and ready for occupancy, but prior to the final walk through by the builder. You get critical information about your new home prior to closing and it gives the builder time to make any necessary corrections before the purchase is finalized.

3) One-year anniversary inspection: this home inspection is performed approximately 30 days before the expiration of the builder's one-year new home warranty. This inspection addresses any warranty-related concerns that you may want to bring to the builder's attention, and allows time for any necessary repairs before the warranty expires.

With new construction inspections, you’ll know if your new home was constructed with quality in mind, for your peace of mind.
Home Maintenance Evaluation: A thorough visual evaluation of the home of more than 300 items, from the foundation to the roof and all the major systems of the house including the electrical, plumbing, and heating/air conditioning systems.

We strive to offer simple up front pricing. We try to keep miscellaneous fees to a minimum to take the guess work out of pricing, and make comparison easier for our clients. Below we have listed our services and the appropriate fees. If ever there is a question please call or email us for clarification.

Note: If you are shopping solely on price, you will find we are not the least expensive. We however exceed both state and national standards and we stand behind our work. Contact us via phone or email and we will share a report with you and show you the difference. All home inspections are not the same! We SHINE!
You may pay a little more for our service, but with a huge investment like a home, you want the best possible inspection. Repairs are costly and why not use someone else's money to make the repairs instead of your own?

Price Quotes are subject to verification by tax records/MLS, and in some cases by measurements at the inspection site, prices may change when additional square footage (not previously reported) is found, or if other items such as pools and/or spas are present and need to be inspected.

The fee is usually the first question a buyer asks, but the inspector's experience and certification should be the first question without a doubt. The age and size of the home or commercial building is the determining factor. Companies which charge very low fees are associated with the fact they do numerous inspections per day. With that in mind take a guess what the quality of the inspection will be?

People generally pay a Realtor 3% of the selling price to write a contract, which costs thousands. I inspect homes and commercial buildings to save you thousands in repair costs.

Call me and I will give a quote which is competitive to other companies, who have inspectors that are fully insured and State certified. Inspection reports are in plain English so you understand what problems are found with color pictures of the concerns in the report. I have built/remodeled my own home; this experience is incorporated into the inspection and report.
