Remember, most homes 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?
Do yourself and your pocketbook a favor, and get a high-performance inspection from the start, you will save FAR more money.
We’ve seen it all and we tell all.
