NORTH CAROLINA HOME INSPECTIONS

Price Shopping for an Inspector?

	You've heard the old saying, "you get what you pay for." One should keep this in mind when price shopping for a home inspector. All inspections are not the same, in fact, some inspections are so low in quality that they are one step above an inspection you could do yourself. Certified Plus Home Inspections thinks we give the most complete inspection for the money. To help the Buyer select an inspector, using Certified Plus Home Inspections as the standard, the following questions should be asked when price shopping:
	1. Is there a "written" money back guarantee? Certified Plus Home Inspections is one of the few companies that gives such a guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the performance of the inspector, your money will be refunded.
	2. On-Site Report? Certified Plus gives an ON THE SPOT report. It is not just a checklist but the nationally known I.T.A. Matrix blue book report. This is one of the most thorough, detailed, professional reports ever designed for home inspections. Many companies use a checklist type inspection and take the checklist back to their office to generate a computer report that is more boilerplate than information. I might add, this take 3 to 4 days. Most times the buyers' contract gives them only 10 days to get the property inspected.
	3. Termite Inspection? Certified Plus uses an outside termite company. We do not have our inspectors look for termites. When looking for termites, hire a termite expert. Our affiliate termite company, if termites are found, will give exact repair and treatment cost. This is very important. The majority of inspection companies that have their inspector inspect for termites do not give this free cost evaluation. What they do when termites are found is tell the buyer, "I see termite damage, you need to get a carpenter to evaluate the damage" and get another another termite company to treat the property.
	4. Carbon Monoxide Test? Carbon Monoxide is a very dangerous colorless, odorless, tasteless, non- irritating toxic gas. It is caused by incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels such as oil, propane, natural gas and wood. To protect you and your family, Certified Plus Inc. will test furnace and hot water heater for carbon monoxide using a state-of-the-art Bacharach Analyzer. This test is not just a room test; this is test on the equipment itself. This test will be conducted with all inspections, no exceptions. Again, Certified Plus, is one of the few that conducts this FREE test!
	5. Appliance Testing? Any appliance that the buyer may purchase from he seller will be tested "free of charge." Appliances such as the washer, dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, etc. We will also give a full tub test to a bathroom jacuzzi at no extra charge. Many home inspection companies do not test appliances or bathroom jacuzzis.
