Remember, most properties can often have multiple problems – not just one. The dollar amounts can skyrocket. Do you really want to be the one stuck paying for it all? Does the typical industry-standard, few-hundred dollar inspector seem like such a “bargain” now? Everything they miss due to lack to experience, education, etc. ultimately costs you money.

Protect your bottom line: Get a high performance inspection from the start, and save FAR more money.

We’ve seen it all and we tell all.
