Why Hire Me For Your Home Inspection?

For home sellers, a property inspection is an excellent sales tool as a thorough inspection will lay out for home buyers exactly what they are buying and allows you to justify the asking price. For home buyers, many times you will recover the cost of the inspection, sometimes multiples of that cost, when home defects are demonstated by a knowledgable home inspector. Of course you will recieve a thorough inspection report with pictures and explanations of all defects to present the home seller. This information can be leveraged during price negotiations. 

Every Whole House Inspection includes evaluation of all systems from the roof to the crawl space and all major systems in between (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical).

I create an easy to understand inspection report with color photos and an easy to read summary and I deliver the report over the Internet to anywhere in the world upon your request within 24 hours.

I live in Veneta, and although I provide outstanding service and value within the Eugene and Springfield metro areas, I also provide thorough, professional & economical inspection services throughout Oregon on and around the Interstate 5 corridor.
