I know you guys mentioned some home inspectors that you all have used before purchasing a home. Of course I didn't write any of them down. So if you have worked with a good inspector that is VERY thorough can you please hook me up with that info. The home was built in 1955 thats why I want a really thorough inspector. Also any tips for a first time home buyer is greatly appreciated.
my wife uses this person exlusively: http://www.inspectorcalls.com/ EDIT: just checked with her and she said he charges around $300-$350 depending on the size of the house
I've used FOX INSPECTIONS, they're local, thorough and will provide you with a Word Document of the inspection along with photos of problem areas. He's not the cheapest, but he is extremely thorough and he cares. I would get a few quotes and then make a decision, be prepared to pay up to about $500.
-home is about 2200 sq/ft -the foundation has been repaired and has a tranferrable warranty -the house has been treated for termites but it probably wouldnt hurt to get that inspected
We charge $ 220.00 for this sq/ft. ( Structural & Mechanical ) I guess you did not understand my question, is the foundation a Slab on grade or a Pier & Beam ( crawl space under the house ) ? Termite Inspection $ 75.00 ( Does you lender require a termite ? ) Jack Carstens Inspector's Referral Service T.R.E.C # 6443
