We did a pre-inspection for the home to have available for potential buyers and I could not be happier with the work and effort he put in.

We appreciated chuck for being thorough with the inspection and he is very knowledgeable with older homes. He gave me his concerns of the home and told me my options, which I really appreciated. He even waited for us to get there to talk in person about the inspection, instead of just sending over a report. Talking in person and getting to ask any questions of the home was really helpful. Thank you, Chuck! read less

Chuck has inspected three homes for me, and each time he has demonstrated the utmost professionalism, expertise, and integrity. The first home Chuck inspected for me was one I was considering purchasing. His keen eye and thorough assessment revealed some concerning structural issues that could have led to significant repair costs down the line, which deterred me from going through with the purchase. The second home Chuck inspected I ended up purchasing it. It turned out to be an excellent decision because the property appreciated substantially better than the 1st home, and I never encountered any issues during my time there. Most recently, I called on Chuck for a pre-inspection as I prepare to sell my house ahead of an out-of-state move. Despite my short notice, Chuck was prompt, friendly, and as professional as ever. The pre-inspection process was enjoyable, thanks to Chuck's affable demeanor and wealth of knowledge. He provided invaluable tips and guidance, demonstrating once again that he truly has his clients' best interests at heart. Chuck is not only punctual and friendly but also incredibly honest and fair in his pricing. He's a rare find in his industry, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch home inspector. Thank you, Chuck!! read lessAmanda Winter4/12/2024 - GoogleChuck came out to do an inspection on a home I was purchasing as well as the home I was about to put on the market.

The homes that we were looking at had some issues and problems and thank goodness Chuck steered us away from those problem homes. Fast forward to 2023… we decided to build a new home and Chuck has been with us every step of the way. Inspecting each step, keeping an eye on our build and much more. This has been important as we are being our own General Contractors and knowing that Chuck is watching our project has more than been the best decision we have made. I recommend Chuck to friends and family and will be the easiest decision you have made. read lessThomas Emmo1/13/2024 - GoogleChuck is and will always be my go to inspector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.
A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.
While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
