Every home inspection performed by 1st American Home Inspections comes loaded with value, such as the following: * A thorough inspection of the home, from top to bottom * Thermal imaging included with every home inspection * You are encouraged to come along. * Your concerns are my concerns. * A digital report delivered in 24 hours or less * Many high-quality digital pictures * Detailed explanations and when appropriate, recommendations * Recall check of all appliances * 5-year roof leak warranty * 90-day structural and mechanical warranty * Sewer guard warranty * Mold safe warranty * 1-year membership in the Homeowners' Network * Licensed by the state of Maryland * Certified and accredited by the Maryland Department of the Environment * Schedule online with the phone app or desktop 24 hours a day * Referring agents are indemnified by our professional liability insurance. * Free marketing for agents Recall Check Every home inspection includes a "Recall Check" of the permanently installed appliances. This includes the water heater, furnace, air-conditioner, evaporator coils, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and possibly more. As long as the model number is legible and the appliance is less than 40 years old, it will be checked for recalls. Most recalls are issued because of fire hazards and other safety-related issues. The manufacturers will almost always pay for these repairs. Talk about peace of mind! 90-Day Warranty We back all of our inspections with a 90-day limited structural and mechanical warranty. This warranty is valid for 90 days from the date of inspection or 22 days after closing, whichever comes later. This warranty covers repairs to items the home inspector has found to be in good working condition at the time of inspection and are specifically listed within our warranty. You will never have a deductible to pay. Claims will be handled within 72 hours of complete submission. This warranty may work in conjunction with an existing warranty.

My Promise to You Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods and yes, different pricing. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's own 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. Henry "Sonny" Toman 1st American Home Inspections, LLC
