Buyer’s Inspection

A home inspection performed on behalf of the client purchasing the home generally done during the inspection period. For a standard home, buyers can expect 2-3 hours of on-site inspecting followed by a preliminary summary printed and thoroughly covered with the buyer on-site. This allows the buyer to familiarize themselves further with the home and afford them the ability to ask any questions that may come up on-site during the inspection. If you are not able to attend your home inspection, don’t worry, your home inspector will be happy to set up a call with you to go over the report in detail, after you have received the emailed inspection report. All buyers will receive a  fuller, more expansive report the same day of the inspection via email.

Pre-listing (seller’s) Inspection

This is a home inspection provided for a client looking to sell their home. Pre-listing inspections are highly beneficial and help the client gain a better understanding of their home and what kind of repairs should be expected. This affords the homeowner the opportunity to correct repairs prior to potential buyers walking through the home which can increase the value of the property. This also allows for the seller to demonstrate to potential buyers their willingness for full disclosure and shows a highly desirable seller trait that they are pro-active about their home maintenance. Pre-listing inspections are also extremely important with estate sales where there may be multiple new owners or that the owner(s) are out of town. The inspection reports will be delivered to the client via email the same day of the inspection. For standard size homes 2-3 hours of on-site inspecting time should be anticipated.

New Construction

We perform new home construction inspections quite frequently and most clients are surprised at the amount of deficient items that are found. Most home builders in Tucson do a great job, however, they work for themselves or their builder and are not always working for you! We will provide and independent 3rd party view of the home and provide a detailed emailed report the same day of the inspection. For standard size homes 2-3 hours of on-site inspecting time should be anticipated. Note : We do not perform in-progress, or pre-drywall, inspections. These inspections are only performed when the build is ‘finished’.

Builder’s Warranty Inspection

Generally most builders will offer a 12 month walk through of the home. During this time, the builder has an opportunity to correct any deficiencies that may have occurred in the first year of the homes life.  It is beneficial for the homeowner to hire a licensed home inspector to thoroughly evaluate the home and its systems. Although the homeowners are living in the home on a day-to-day basis and are very aware of defective or non-functioning items, there may be code issues, or latent defects that would not have been caught otherwise if a home inspection had not occurred. This offers the homeowner a ‘last chance’ at re-course with the builder. For standard size homes 2-3 hours of on-site inspecting time should be anticipated and we generally prefer the homeowner to be present during this inspection.

Pool & Spa Inspections

Our inspectors are very knowledgeable in pool and spa’s. They have either built, renovated or maintenance them with local companies in Tucson. We do offer inspections of either the pool and/or the spa in tandem with the home inspection, or as a stand-alone item. This inspection will be incorporated into the written report of the home inspection and emailed the same day to the client. Generally a pool and/or spa will add 25-45 minutes to any inspection.

Manufactured Homes

We have performed numerous inspections on manufactured homes. These home inspections vary slightly from a site built home. These variances include the land considerations around the home, the proper securing of the home to the site, and full inspection of all accessible crawl space areas. We are aware of all common and not-so-common issues with manufactured homes. These inspections generally take 2-3 hours on-site and a written report will be provided to the client the same day.

Multi-Unit Inspections

We perform multi-unit inspections from either a duplex to apartment complexes. With 3 licensed home inspectors, larger unit inspections can be done in shorter periods of time for the client. Reports are custom tailored to the type of building. If you have a multi-unit complex, please call our office for more information and pricing.

Repair Inspections

We offer re-inspections of repaired items. After your requested repairs have been made we will fully inspect the workmanship and ensure that the repairs have been done properly, giving you piece of mind before taking ownership of the home. These inspections will have a shorter written report emailed to the client the same day of the inspection and generally take 30minutes – 1hour.

Final Walk Through Inspection

Sometimes are clients are not able to be at the home during the final walk through inspection, or may just want another licensed and trained set off eyes on the home before they sign the dotted line. This is a general inspection that covers major items, repaired items, and ensuring that the home is in the same overall condition as it was when the client agreed to purchase it (with the exception of repairs made). This inspection will have a shorter written report emailed to the client the same day of the inspection and generally take 1hour.
