Mutual Space Home Inspections - Home Inspectors Report

How should you choose a home inspector?

Considering that your home is the most expensive purchase you will ever make, it is better to choose an inspector based upon experience and expertise rather than cost. Even inspectors that have been in the business for many years may not have the foundation of the building trades behind them and may simply have a long experience of poor inspections.

Buyers: Remember, a good inspection can save you thousands of dollars in repairs or litigation. On average, I have saved buyers $1,000.

Sellers: A presales inspection can locate potential problems early, preventing costly delays in escrow or a needlessly lost sale.

I have been a Licensed and Bonded California General Contractor since 1990 (B584812 HIC {home improvement contractor}), a master carpenter since 1978 (having successfully completing a four year apprenticeship program), and working as a carpenter since 1973. I have lived and worked in the mountain community for more than 24 years. During this time, I have performed both full and partial inspections on hundreds of homes throughout the mountain communities. As a result, I have a full understanding of the unique problems affecting mountain homes and the insight and expertise to determine their current condition.

All reports are posted online in PDF Format (in a secured directory) usually within 24 hours upon completion of the inspection.

Fee for this service, $375
