We perform a typical mainstream
“American Society of Home Inspector” inspection plus:

1. We look for plainly visible Building Code defects the county missed
   or ignored (electrical, mechanical, plumbing and structure). They’re required to be repaired and we document the code sections on your report to force the repairs.
   
   
2. We look for the National Association of Home Builders residential construction performance guideline defects plainly visible. This document is a set of guidelines and limitations written by the builders. One example would be: chipped sinks and tubs must be repaired if defect is visible from 3 feet. That’s how we force and guarantee repairs.
   
   
3. We look for plainly visible product installation procedure defects. There’s 50,000 parts in a typical house and each part has a set of rules to be followed to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty. Failure to follow manufacturer’s installation procedures voids the warranty. All houses are complicated and you don’t have a chance on your own.
   
   
4. Workmanship warranties are required by most states and most builders give third party warranties that you can use to force workmanship repairs if you know what you are doing. You send our report to the builder and warranty company by certified mail.
   
   
5. Ted has 20 years of experience in building homes, contracting and site development (hands on and management). That experience along with 10 years of performing 4500 new construction inspections enables Ted to see defects you and normal main stream inspectors would not detect.
