 General Home Inspection:
Our home inspection helps provide you with peace of mind by giving invaluable information on the investment you are about to make. The inspection provides a visual examination of all the components in your home from the foundation to the roof. We are trained to perform a professional inspection that meets the highest standards in the industry-the Standards of Practice established State of New Jersey and by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).
Our inspection report is computer generated and available ON LINE within 24 hours of the completion of the inspection. We are ASHI members and licensed by the State of New Jersey.
Radon: This test includes the placement of testing devices to measure the ongoing level of radon in the habitable areas of the home.
About The House uses the continuous monitoring device (although charcoal canisters are required wherever electric is not supplied). These measurements evaluate the level of radon to determine if any form of improvement is required. The EPA document
A Citizen's Guide To Radon (Third Edition) provides the basic information everyone should know about Radon. For more information on how to reduce your radon health risk, call your
state radon office for copies of these
guides.
Termite (WDI): About the House conducts a visual inspection of all wood destroying insects (including termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, powder post beetles, old house borers). The report is prepared on the official
NPMA-33 form, accepted by most (if not all) lending institutions.
Darren understands that purchasing a home is one of the most important decisions & investments you will make. Our typical client is someone who doesn't mind paying more for a high quality service, as long as they get what they pay for. They want to know their home inside and out, and we have built our reputation on living up to this expectation for nearly 10 years. Hiring Darren, an experienced, qualified New Jersey Home Inspector to carefully review the house and it’s components is essential to convey the conditions of the house. He strongly recommends the buyer attend the home inspection, he will then be able to ‘show & tell’ about the homes components.
How do you choose a home inspector? Check out this advice:
"My advice to clients who want a reliable inspection is to call the inspector that is "hated" by selling agents. The inspector who will go through the property with a fine toothed comb. The inspector who will point out every issue whether major or minor. This may be the only way to avoid a possible less-than-full disclosure by the Sellers."
