“Paul did an amazing job, he was very thorough in every part of the inspection.
He did not rush, he was very knowledgeable, 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.
What Makes 360 Inspections Different?
Every home inspector is different.
I am detailed and thorough.
It is up to you, with my help, to decide if the house is right for you or not.
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.
Here is a little more about me and my inspections:
- I am 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. As a former restoration franchise company owner, I held many IICRC certifications including Advanced Structural Drying, Fire / Smoke Restoration. I am also an experienced mold inspector and remediator. These types of home 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. There is a reason I have over 600 5-Star reviews on Google.
- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions & Inspection Details
Have questions? Expand the sections below to learn more about what we cover to protect your investment.
What exactly is included in a Residential Home Inspection?
We perform a highly detailed evaluation covering everything visible and accessible. This includes the roof, vents, flashing, and trim; gutters and downspouts; skylights and chimneys; decks, stoops, porches, and walkways; eaves, soffit, and fascia; grading and drainage; foundation and crawlspace; signs of water penetration; heating and cooling systems; main water shut-off valves; interior plumbing fixtures; electrical service panels and breakers; insulation and ventilation; garage doors and safety sensors. Free moisture detection with infrared/thermal imaging (normally a $75 value) and gas leak detection is also included!
Why is your water damage and mold experience important?
Water intrusion is one of the biggest hidden destroyers of homes. Many standard issues seen in a house are just the “tip of the iceberg.” With years of experience overseeing large-scale mold, fire, and water damage restoration projects, we know exactly how to identify hidden signs of moisture and improper repairs that standard inspectors might overlook.
Do I really need a New Construction Inspection?
Absolutely. It is tempting to think your new home will be perfect, but a house is put together by humans, which means oversights are common. We offer Pre-Drywall phase inspections (checking framing, electrical, plumbing rough-ins, and tie-downs) and Final/Pre-Closing inspections to ensure your new home is built to plan and to high standards before you sign the closing paperwork.
How quickly do I get the results for FHA/VA Well Water Testing?
Local health departments can take 2 to 4 weeks to deliver well water test results, which is often too long for a standard 15-day inspection period. 360 Inspections offers FHA/VA compliant water testing with an expedited turnaround time of about 4 business days. The test covers Total Coliform, E. coli, Nitrates, Nitrites, and Lead.

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
