“Paul did an amazing job, he was very thorough in every part of the inspection.

He did not rush, he was very knowledgable, very professional and he took his time in making sure I understood anything that I didn’t understand.

I was very pleased with the job he did.

He treated the inspection like he was the one investing in the property & that alone is hard to come by. A true honest man. Great guy & great professional.

Highly recommend using Paul.” Justina J. More Home Inspection Reviews

Every home inspector is different.

I am detailed and thorough.

I put everything on the report that I would like to know about a home I am buying.

Some things might be easy and cheap to fix. Some things you may not care about. Some things are expensive and take a long time to repair.

It is up to you, with my help, to decide if the house is right for you or not.

Here is a little more about me and my inspections:

I am the only Home Inspector in this area who is also certified and experienced in Water Damage Restoration.This is vital since water is the leading cause of damage in homes. I have inspected and repaired everything from small kitchen leaks to 7 story condo floods.On the mold side, I have inspected and remediated everything from small bathroom mold jobs to entire houses.I am an IICRC certified Advanced Structural Drying Technician, a certified Fire / Smoke Restoration technician and a certified and experienced mold inspector and remediator.These types of damage are often like the tip of the iceberg – you don’t know the full extent of the problem from what you can see. I’ve overseen small and large water damage projects from start to finish so I know what to look for and how it needs to be properly repaired. This is VERY important.
I never forget that I work for you, the home buyer. I tell you everything I would want to know if I was buying that house
Same day full color, detailed report with color pictures covering everything that was found during the inspection. The detailed, easy to read report includes links and diagrams that explain the exact condition of the property. Your report also has links to an extensive home maintenance and construction reference library to help you understand your home and how to keep it in top shape.

All this means that a 360 Inspection gives you all the information you need to feel confident about your decision to buy or not buy a property. With this information you can feel confident and relaxed moving forward.

“I’ve purchased 3 houses in the past 9 years and have hired 6 inspectors.

Paul was the most knowledgeable and thorough inspector I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

Hire him and you will not be disappointed. Trust him to inspect your investment prior to your final commitment.

EDIT: I hired Paul again for a second inspection today. Great service again.”

What to look for

Examples of what will be in your report are:

Negative grade near foundations – this can cause water to stay in contact with your foundation and lead to deterioration and wood destroying organism problems.
Foundation problems – some settling of a foundation is normal and to be expected. But sometimes there is a problem with the foundation that will need major repair, and this is something you should know before you buy a home.
Roof leaks – these need to be repaired to prevent further damage to the ceilings, walls and floors of the interior of the home. Infrared cameras and moisture meters can find leaks that the naked eye can not see.
Electrical problems – small wires on big breakers (overfused), overheating breakers, double tapped breakers, poor or missing grounding. All these issues are potential fire hazards.
Plumbing problems – slab leaks, tub drain leaks, slow drains, insufficient venting
