Welcome to the Checklist Inspections Website! Odds are you're here to find an inspector for the property that you're looking at. I really can't think of another reason for you to be surfing for home inspection companies. So, lets assume that's why you're here. You found that perfect house. Now education 101 starts. You can either have it inspected or not. Not having it inspected is not a good idea. You want to know more about the property and the condition there of. That's where the inspection comes in. It's an visual inspection, a snap shot overview of the property, if you will. You're paying for a concise non-emotional knowledgeable feed back on the property. It's your chance to discover the condition of said property with an unbiased non alarmists delivery. Whether you're checking out home inspectors on your own or with the referral of your realtor it can be overwhelming in what to look for in a home inspector. Experience in the field should be on top of the list. How many inspections the inspector has performed and the length of time in the field. Cost may be a factor also but choosing the least expensive inspector is not always the best. In any field and area there will always the low cost person. We're not saying they're bad but sometimes you get what you paid for-- the basics. Effective communication should be on the same level with experience. Communicating the issues with you is very important. You will and should have questions when going over the report with the inspector. Ask and if your not sure if you understand the answer, ask again. This is the time for understanding and knowledge of the property you're looking at. You want to come away from an inspection with a clear overview of the condition of the property. We recommend that you take notes of any question or issue you want to address at the time of your inspection.

Why get an inspection?

What you’re getting is peace of mind and knowledge. Knowledge of the property before you buy it, is a valuable way in making a decision to invest or not. To ensure that you have a full understanding of the condition and of the running components of the home. Inspectors go up and in places that the average owner doesn’t. They have experience and up to date knowledge of the components that are required for a functional property. Not many owners go on the roof to check for cracked tiles, into the attic to check on the level of insulation, the venting system of the HVAC or condition of the trusses. If it's a seller owned property and they have disclosed the condition of the property, they could have issues they aren't even aware of.

The other is the Bank Owned properties. Where there are no disclosure's. They are being "Sold as Is". It's extremely important to have the property inspected. You and/or the realtor don't know the condition of the home, sometimes you will know how long it's been vacant but that is the end of knowledge. Even though the bank states as is, as with any other home or property, you may ask for any repairs. Discuss this with your realtor.  Whether the home is new or 50 years old you should want to know the condition of the property and it's important to have it inspected by an independent inspector.

Beware of “Uncle Louie”

He is the relative or friend, that may or may not have construction knowledge; he is brought in to assess the property instead of paying an inspector. The problem is “Uncle Louie” may not understand the systems or components that a professional inspection consists of. He also may find it difficult to objective because of his relationship and the emotion of the buyer. A home inspector will give an accurate, impartial analysis of the property.

What is included in the inspection?

A professional inspection will identify any issues and offer solutions. It’s a visual inspection and analysis of the physical structure and mechanical components of the property.

We follow the AZ Board of Technical Registration guide lines http://www.azbtr.gov

and American Society of Home Inspectors guide lines http://www.homeinspector.org

Included are the Standard and Practices of Home Inspectors. We usually start on the outside of the property; gates, side walk, foundation, patio roof. Check the fencing, drainage away from the structure, pool, outside features, siding, AC unit, roof etc. Garage door, water heater and other garage components looking also for signs of termites and or other pest. Irrigation system and and timer. Water meter is checked, this is important especially with vacant property. Examine Electrical panel. On the interior all doors, windows, flooring and cabinets are inspected. Electrical outlets and light fixtures are checked. Water is run for 20 min., sorry it’s needed, we want to ensure functional flow and drainage. If there are any leaks it will show. We run the appliances in the kitchen, laundry room and throughout the property to ensure working condition. In the attic we check the trusses for any cracks, twists or tweaks. Insulation is measured. Vents are checked for attachment, twist, curve radius and properly sealed. If you have hired us for the termite inspection, this inspection is carried through out the inspection also.
