● Full Inspections will take about 3 hours for a typical 3-4 BR home with a 2-car garage, depending on access to areas such as roofs, attics, basements and crawl spaces. Older or larger homes or structures over 2 stories may take longer. Outbuildings, additions or other special conditions may also add significant time. (See the More Info page for a list of items included in a Full Inspection.)


● Pricing starts at $300 for a typical 2000 sq ft home built since the 1970s, with the exact fee to be agreed upon prior to the inspection based on the size and characteristics of the property. For a 2-3 BR ranch (under 1500 sq ft on a concrete slab and minimal complications), pricing starts at $200 (pricing through 2008).


● Menu pricing is available. If you only need inspections of certain systems, you can select any combination of Electrical, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, Roofing & Exterior, Basement & Foundation, Attic & Ventilation or other. Pricing starts at $50 per system.


● General, Second Opinion or Home Improvement Inspections start at $50-$100, depending on client needs. General (aka "Walk Through") inspections are typically used to determine the overall condition of major home structures and systems. They can be useful to a seller pre-market or to a buyer to check specific concerns. Second Opinion inspections may be useful to verify significant findings by another inspector. Home Improvement inspections are used to help plan or verify proper completion of home improvement projects.

Choosing the right home inspector is crucial. Home inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods and pricing. Ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s own effort and attention to detail.

"If you choose me to inspect your home, I guarantee that I will always give you my very best, and that I will make every effort to meet or exceed your expectations. My intent is to help clients make wise real estate investment choices. My principle goal is to provide a great service at a fair price."

Barry Nash

You are probably visiting this web site because you are either preparing to buy or preparing to sell a home. A home is not just a place to live and raise a family - it is also one of the largest investments most of us make. Decisions made here can significantly affect your current and long-term net worth.

Real estate investment typically involves many services, including a seller's agent, a buyer's agent, a mortgage company and a title company. Very few investors, however, have the right kind of experience to properly and fully assess the condition of a property's mechanical and structural systems.

A truly independent home inspector represents only the interests of the client, and is free of influence from other involved parties. A home inspection should give an honest, unbiased estimate of a property's condition, and should be customizable and adaptive according to the clients needs.

For Home Buyers, an inspection can help to identify potentially expensive or dangerous trouble spots before your home purchase is final.

For Home Sellers, an inspection performed before your home is placed on the market can help to avoid surprises and maximize sales value.

Considering the time and money a family will invest in their home, a few hours of precaution could save thousands of dollars and yield years of peace of mind.

You will not regret getting a home inspection, but you may deeply regret skipping it. Choose any good inspector you want - but do choose one, please!

"Years of experience as an electrician, in general construction and in home improvement constitute an excellent technical background for performing my home inspections. Buying, improving and selling several homes myself enables me to identify with clients on a very real and personal level. Commitment to continuing education and certification keeps me current on the latest construction, maintenance and inspection practices."

"Also, I am highly motivated with a keen eye for detail. I strive to present information to my clients in a clear and practical way. I want to facilitate your real estate transaction, not alarm you unnecessarily. I believe you should be prepared, not scared, as you make your investment decisions."
