When buying a home, you should always have a professional home inspection performed. You need to know exactly what you are getting. Making your buying decision much easier and more confident.

Your Home Detective will point out things to you that may not be obvious to the untrained eye so that you have better leverage when speaking with the seller.  On the flip side, we will also let you know when something that looks like a major item is really not major or unusual.  The value added to you is that you have peace of mind on your purchase and know exactly what you are getting into.  Your Home Detective works for you and will tell you exactly what is found bad, good or indifferent.  Even one item, like a bad furnace or roof identified by Your Home Detective can save you thousands of dollars. 

When you hire The Home Detective, you are hiring an experienced professional who has training and experience in the building industry. It is the job of The Home Detective to not only evaluate the condition of the house's major systems and structural integrity, but also to evaluate how these systems are working together and identify areas that need to be watched, repaired or replaced.

Your Home Detective gives you the Big Picture analysis of the house you are purchasing. If the home inspector identifies the need for a costly, detailed analysis of any of the houses' systems or structures, the inspector will recommend the appropriate professional, which may be an experienced engineer with expertise analyzing that particular system or structure. The need for this kind of expensive, detailed analysis is rare.

Hiring a Professional Engineer on your own can be a disappointing experience. The term Professional Engineer does not mean that the individual has training or experience conducting home inspections. Additionally, a home inspection does not involve engineering analysis. Therefore, hiring a Professional Engineer to complete a home inspection undoubtedly costs more, but it may not give you the results you desire and deserve.
