We found a couple of Inspectors with a lower service charge, why should I go with you?   Great question, with any business quality, service and experience is expensive.  The lower priced provider cannot purchase new equipment, insurance, spend considerable time on the property or invest in training and education.  Missing one item will cost more than the value of a small savings.

How did you learn about Home Inspection?   I have owned, rented, purchased and sold dozens of properties.  I worked for a large "box" store, and sold decks, windows, HVAC, roofs and fences.  I managed a flooring operation for a National Company.  My father was an electrical professional and he taught me about electrical.

Should we get a radon test?   Yes.  Kentucky has a very high frequency of Radon, and the number two causes of lung cancer.   No one wants a health care problem.  This situation can be prevented with a low-cost test.

How much do you charge? We publish prices, that are based upon square footage and age of home.

What is your most Typical Inspection?  My most typical home would be a 1,900-foot home, with a basement and attached garage.

Should we attend the Home Inspection? – Yes, you should plan on attending that last half hour so that we can review the property together and discuss concerns.

Are you licensed? Yes, Kentucky license in good standing?  My license number is 266196.

How many home inspections have you performed? Several thousand.

What is the biggest home you have inspected? That would either be a large estate in Goshen or a large property in Bardstown. Around twelve thousand square feet.

What is the smallest property you have inspected? - That would be an efficiency, near University of Louisville.

Do you take credit cards? Yes along with checks and cash. The software I use will release your report when payment is made.

How long is a normal home inspection report? They average about 60 pages, with a list of defects on the first few pages and arae emailed the day of inspection.

How will we get the report? It will be emailed to you the day of inspection.

How do you inspect roofs? By drone. Climbing on the roof can damage the roof and gutters.

How do you inspect the crawlspace? I have remote control vehicles and a small drone that assist me in this workspace.

Will you repair things you find?  No. I would not know how to and that would be a conflict of interest.

Can you provide sample inspection reports? Yes they are published on my site.

Can you provide proof of insurance?  Yes

What specific areas of the home do you inspect? Structure, roof, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and much more.

How long does a typical inspection take? Two to four hours depending upon the size of the home and issues found.
