Soft Home Inspection
The Soft Home Inspection that includes a basic walk-thru looking for more obvious issues that are important to the client. Don't let the term "walk-thru" let you think I just move thru quickly.  I pay attention making notes of what I see. I am here to help you know what is going on with your property. Pictures will be taken, and an opinion written up giving the final thoughts about the property.  Should you, the client, then want a full inspection, the Soft Home Inspection fee will be waived and you will be charged for a Full Home Inspection.  
The price of a Soft Inspection is 20% of the Full Home Inspection price.
Ex: 2500 sq/ft is $350 for full inspection. $350 x .20 = $70 for screening.

Home Maintenance Inspections are a very important part of taking care of your home.  For under $100, I will go through your home looking for issues that may be occurring.  Once found, the issue can be addressed before it gets out of hand. For homes under 2,500 sq/ft fee is $60, 2501 - 3,500 sq/ft fee is $75.  For over 3,500 sq/ft call for fee.

Weekend Inspections At No Extra Charge.

The Indispensable Need for Annual Home Maintenance Inspections

Owning a home brings immense joy and pride, but with it comes the responsibility of upkeep. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to overlook the significance of regular home maintenance inspections. Yet, these annual check-ups are not merely a chore; they are an investment in the longevity, safety, and value of your most treasured asset.

Preserving Your Haven

Think of your home as a sanctuary—an oasis of comfort and security. However, without regular inspections, this haven could unknowingly become a breeding ground for issues that threaten its integrity. An annual maintenance inspection acts as a shield against potential hazards, ensuring that your home remains a safe and nurturing environment for you and your loved ones.

Guarding Against the Invisible

Often, problems within a home aren’t visible until they escalate into major issues. A seemingly innocuous leak or a minor crack could develop into a major structural problem if left unattended. These hidden issues can remain dormant, silently affecting the integrity of your home. An annual inspection is the flashlight that illuminates these potential threats before they grow, saving you from costly repairs and inconveniences down the road.

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

The old adage rings true when it comes to home maintenance. Detecting problems early on allows for timely intervention, preventing minor issues from snowballing into major expenses. Investing in an annual inspection is akin to a preventative healthcare check-up for your home—identifying issues at their inception and addressing them promptly.

Protecting Your Investment

Your home is not just a dwelling; it's an investment. Regular inspections ensure that your investment appreciates in value rather than depreciating due to neglect. When it's time to sell, a well-maintained property not only fetches a better price but also attracts discerning buyers who value a well-cared-for home.

The Comprehensive Approach

An annual inspection covers various facets of your home, from the roof to the foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, and more. It provides a comprehensive overview, enabling you to take a proactive stance in maintaining every aspect of your property.

In conclusion, an annual home maintenance inspection is not an expense; it's an investment in safeguarding your most prized possession. By scheduling regular check-ups, you're not just maintaining a house; you're nurturing a home—a space where memories are created and cherished for years to come. Take the step today to ensure your home remains a haven of safety, comfort, and value tomorrow and beyond.
