Our Policy



  1.   This home inspection is performed in accordance with the Standards of Practice of American Inspectors Society and is an examination of the mechanical and physical components of real property identified on page 1 of this report as they exist and the time of the inspection through visual means and operation of normal user controls.  The home inspector does not necessarily posses the licenses authorizing the rendering of detailed opinions regarding all of the systems structures, and components of a building

    What We Do:

    1.  We perform a visual inspection in a good and workmanlike manner
    2.  We tell whether each item we inspect is performing the function for which it was intended or  is in need of immediate repair.
    3.  We will explain what we saw about each item

    What We Do Not Do:

    1.  We do not make guarantees, representations, or insure the performance or condition  of  any  item after the date and time of  this inspection.  Please remember that almost every componet  in any house, except new construction, is in used condition and has ordinary  wear and tear.
     2.  We do not inspect any item  which we cannot see in a normal inspection.  For example, we do not move any furniture, floor or wall coverings, or other furnishings.  We do not inspect septic tanks,buried pipes, or wiring.  We cannot see items covered by walls or flooring.  Repairs, painting, or remodeling may hide evidence of prior damage or defects.  We do not dismantleequipment to inspect component parts.  We do suggest that you ask the owner about repairs,covered up items, or previous problems.
    3.  We do not inspect for formaldehydes, mold, lead, radon, or other environmental hazards
    4.  We do not inspect for building codes, soil analysis, gas leaks, adequacy of design, capacity, efficiency, size, value, flood plain, pollution, or habitability.  Please remember that older houses
    do not meet the same standards as newer houses even though items in both might be 
    performing functions for which they are intended.
    5.  We do not hold ourselves out to be specialists for any particular item.  We are a general real estates inspection company.  If we report that any item is not performing its intended function or needs repair, we urge you to have that item examined by a specialist before purchasing the property.  We do not give estimates of the cost to repair any item.

    What The Client Must Do:

    1.  Client must notify us in writing of any complaints regarding our inspection within seven (7) daysafter the receipt of our report.
    2.  If we report that any item is in need of immediate repair or is not performing its intended function and Client intends to purchase the property anyway, we recommend that Client have that itemexamined by a specialist.
    3.  It is agreed by all parties that, to the extent allowed by law, any damages for breach of this contract are limited the amount of the inspection fee.
    4.  If Client sues on this contract but does not prevail, Client agrees to pay our reasonable attorney fees
    5.  Client acknowledges that the inspector has not made oral representations that differ from or modify what is written in this report.
    6.  Client must not allow anyone else to use or rely on this report.
