FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing system is based mostly on square footage however, in cases where the house is in a serious state of disrepair or is very old or is an unusual construction type the standard fee may need to be adjusted to account for the additional inspection and reporting and research time involved. 500 to 1000 square feet = $250 1001 to 1500 square feet = $270 1501 to 2000 square feet = $290 2001 to 2500 square feet = $310 2501 to 3000 square feet = $330 3001 to 3500 square feet = $350 3501 to 4000 square feet = $370 4001 to 4500 square feet = $390 4501 to 5000 square feet = $410 5001 to 6000 square feet = $430 More than 6000 square feet, or extra out-buildings: Give us a call!

- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won't meet me until your inspection appointment--after you have hired me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing. One thing that's certain is that a home inspection requires a lot of work. Ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I receive home inspection training through Internachi (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors). Home inspection training is an ongoing endeavor and I have to complete a certain amount of CEU's to renew my license. In addition I belong to several trade groups whose members are mostly other home inspectors from other parts of the US. We share our combined knowledge in a forum which is very helpful in keeping up with standards of practice. I have been fortunate enough to have had excellent training through the University of Florida's entomology department. In addition, while working for a large pest control company, I inspected hundreds of homes across Central Florida for real estate transactions.
