In the spring of 2005, my wife Tamara and I purchased the Pillar To Post franchise territory encompassing Aurora, Centennial east of Parker Rd., Strasburg, Bennett, Byers, Deer Trail, Watkins and Foxfield. Since then, we have earned the trust of buyers, sellers and real estate professionals and have grown into one of the largest and most respected full service inspection companies in the area offering professional home inspections, commercial inspections, radon testing, mold testing (air and swab), mold clearance letters, home energy surveys, environmental reports, and water quality testing. 

The purchase of a home is, for most of us, the largest and most important decision we will make in our lifetime. It is vital to make your decision based on non-biased and accurate information obtained through an in-depth inspection of all major systems and components of the property you are considering purchasing prior to the actual purchase. It is imperative that the inspector you use has a solid knowledge of components and systems that make up both residential and commercial properties. It is also important that an inspector is honest and open, communicates effectively and can offer recommendations based on what he may find during his inspection. A good inspector will give you the tools and information you need to make the right decision.

My objective as an inspector is to have you walk away from the inspection knowing the strong and weak points of the property, being aware of exactly what it is that you are about to buy with no last-minute surprises. I use state-of-the-art equipment including moisture meters, temperature sensors and carbon monoxide and gas detectors. The report I will provide you with, which is delivered on site, contains detailed photographs of problems, covers nearly 1600 items, and gives you the knowledge that you need to make a fully informed decision. I encourage you to attend the inspection with me for a few reasons; it's important to me that you are confident that you are getting the best home inspection money can buy and you FEEL comfortable with possibly heading back to the bargaining table with the tools for a successful home purchase. It is also very important to me that you see and completely understand the mechanics behind your home, the good and the bad.

You will come to learn more about the house that you are thinking of purchasing than you might with someone less experienced, at a lesser price, in the hurry-up home inspections that some of my competitors offer. Please call anytime with your questions or to set up an appointment for an inspection.  I look forward to working with you to make your home purchase very successful and problem-free!
