Sherlock Homes Inspection, Ltd.

• Is the electrical system safe? Is it adequate for MY family's needs?
• How serious are those small cracks in the plaster? What about the larger ones in the basement walls?
• I'm told the roof is new, but does that mean it was installed correctly?
• Is the attic properly vented to prevent structual rot and rapid aging of shingles?
• Is the furnace operating safely?
• Have repairs and improvements been done by competent people?

The Sherlock Homes Inspection:

• IDENTIFIES major defects that may affect your purchase decision.

  Your Sherlock Homes Inspection is:

  • A DECISION TOOL. All homes have defects. You need to know if this home's problems are easily solvable, expensive to deal with, or so serious that you should consider looking further.
  • AN EDUCATION. We strongly encourage our clients to attend the inspection! Your inspector will share his insights with you, and answer your technical and maintenance questions. This is an unequalled opportunity to improve your home management skills!
  • A PLANNING TOOL. All homes need some work. Your written report becomes a valuable reference guide for prioritizing the work this house needs. By shedding light on small problems before they become large, your inspection can pay for itself many times over.

  Your Sherlock Homes Report is:

  • COMPLETE. Your inspection meets the Standards of Practice of the prestigious American Society of Home Inspectors.
  • CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR NEEDS. We don't rely on only a checklist, because even the longest checklist can't anticipate the unusual. We don't ask you to wade through a 400-page book that has this house's problems buried under other houses' potential problems. Our customized, computer-written report is specific to this house, can be produced on site, and is completely legible.
  • YOUR PROPERTY. The inspection and report belong to you. We will not share the information without your permission. We do not offer or accept referral fees, kickbacks or commisions from anyone.
