Scheduling:
Our inspection schedule is tailored to meet the needs of our clients. Availability is predicated on the size and location of the property to be inspected.
Our availability is provided when we offer a quote. Please include a preferred / target date in the contact form.
Home buyers and their agent are encouraged to attend. When the physical inspection is complete, inspector Michele will walk through the property with those in attendance, explain conditions, and answer questions. This dynamic exchange can take up to an hour and is an excellent opportunity to better understand the property. We strongly recommend that buyers and their agent attend the walk through.
Please note:
- Return visits are offered for an additional fee for clients who choose to skip the walk-through.
- For many reasons including safety, explanations are typically not offered during the physical inspection.

Reports:
The complete written report is typically sent to the client one business day after the inspection is performed.
The primary objective of the written report is to convey all of the information about a property in a manner
that is most easy to understand and utilize.
Our report format has a different layout than most on the market; and is the result of decades of service in
the inspection industry. It was developed by Michele in direct response to our client’s requests a report that
is as informative as it is easy to follow and understand.
Our reporting order follows the logical path by which you, the buyer, would walk through the home. The
three dynamic systems – plumbing, electrical, and heating – are posted at the end. This is because many of
their smaller components are listed throughout the report, and these final sections summarize concerns that
may also be noted elsewhere in the report.
Our format also allows for a more balanced delivery of images and pertinent details; all of which can be easily
viewed and enlarged using basic electronic equipment – computer, laptop, or smartphone.
