Are you price shopping for an inexpensive home inspection? Then think about this, here is an overheating main breaker that could have resulted in a major fire. Will the home inspector you choose for the lowest price be able to find this? Not unless they use infrared technology.
Now, choose your own home inspector.
A Rhode Island home inspection for buyers, sellers, and homeowners, starting at $399 is offered by S&B Services LLC and performed by Bruce Pinel, an independent, certified Home Inspector.
How do you go about in choosing the right home inspector?
Here are my recommendations:
How long should the home inspection take? This is very important! A comprehensive home inspection will take at least 3 maybe 4 hours, depending on its size and age, even for a "well maintained" home.
Ask to see samples of their reports. Look for descriptive (not generic) text and specific photos on items they find with proposed resolutions. If there are none, ask why not!
Ask to see testimonials of their performance from their past clients.
Ask if they utilize "hi-tech" equipment such as thermal imaging.
If you are still apprehensive at that point, then please give me a call or read on!
