The Standard Inspection Report

Quality Home Inspectors uses the best home inspection reporting system available. Their 17 page report covers each major and minor component of a home. More importantly, it is very easy for anyone, no matter what your construction experience level is, to look at and understand. Each page has 2 carbon copy pages beneath so you not only get one copy but two - Quality Home Inspectors keeps one copy on file for two years following the inspection. The report also contains a summary sheet in which they summarize all the findings from the inspection that should be repaired or at least addressed, prior to your final closing. You receive your inspection report at the end of the inspection so you can immediately begin negotiations with the seller on any items found during the inspection.

New Construction Inspections

Many builders and real estate agents believe because a house is new it doesn't need an inspection - this is not true. Building contractors are not purposely overlooking items nor are they unqualified, but when you are dealing with as many components as there are in a house, it is easy for things to get overlooked. New construction reports usually find numerous items that are not working properly. If you are buying and paying for a brand new house, you deserve to get a home without flaws and everything should be working when you move in.

Certificate of Pre-Inspection for Home Sellers

There are thousands of houses for sale on the market today - you can make your home
stand out in the crowd with a Quality Home Inspectors Certificate of Pre-Inspection. Our
pre-inspection process includes two visits to your home.  On the first visit we will inspect
and find any problem areas or safety concerns located within your home. We will then
revisit your home once all the needed repairs have been made. If all items on the
original inspection are corrected, we will then issue you a Quality Home Inspectors
Certificate of Pre-Inspection. We also type a summary page on your home and its
components to give to all prospects. Now everyone looking at your home can focus on
more important things like where the furniture is going to go as opposed to if the home
has any flaws or faults.

Stucco Siding Testing

Anyone buying a stucco siding house built before 1995 needs to get it inspected. Before this time, the home construction industry was using exterior insulated finishing systems (EIFS). The result of using EIFS was a multi-billion dollar lawsuit concentrated mostly on homes built in three states - Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina. The EIFS trapped moisture behind the walls and completely decayed studs supporting the wall. While EIFS has given some other very good stucco products a bad rap, it is very important that you know for sure which type of stucco siding you are buying and that the studs are not decayed from excessive moisture.

Environmental Testing

Radon is the second leading cause of cancer second only to cigarette smoking. But what makes radon so dangerous is that it is an odorless, colorless gas that is emitted from the ground. Quality Home Inspectors uses Radalink's computerized open ion chamber radon collection machine. This 48-hour testing method is the most thorough radon test on the market today.

Mole spore is another environmental test that is getting more and more common within the home inspection industry. Collection pieces are placed in a home's central heat and air duct system where they collect sample particles. The pieces are then sent to the test lab where results are measured.
