Home Inspections
Buying a home?
It is probably the most expensive purchase you will ever make. This is no time to shop for a cheap inspection. The cost of a home inspection is very small compared to the cost of the home being inspected. The additional cost of hiring an InterNACHI-certified inspector is almost insignificant.
InterNACHI-Certified and with more than 20 years experience in the building and construction industry, Capstone Property Inspections can provide you with a thorough home inspection that covers all the major components of the home. Once completed you will be given a full report that includes color pictures along with explanations for any concerns uncovered during the inspection including upcoming maintenance issues allowing you to budget for the future. Capstone proudly uses HomeGauge, the finest inspection software available in the industry today. A good home inspection can save you thousands of dollars and give you the information you need to make a sound decision when purchasing a new home or property. Capstone is also certified to provide mold inspections to identify any air quality concerns.
InterNACHI-certified inspectors earn their fees many times over. They do more, they deserve more, and, yes, they sometimes charge a little more. Do yourself a favor…and pay a little more for the quality inspection you deserve.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, front-ends its membership requirements.
