Welcome to my website I hope you find the information that I have provided for you useful in your decision to hire me to perform your home inspection.

A home inspection is never about finding the cheapest inspector. It needs to be about finding a quality inspector that will do a thorough job inspecting the property for you so that you know what you are getting when you have submitted an offer on a house.

 

 

My reports are prepared to help with your home purchase decision. Your best interests are the basis for all the reports I prepare. I encourage you to attend the inspection, this is the best time for you to ask questions and express any concerns you may have about one of the biggest decisions that you will make, the purchase of a house.

My promise to you!

 

 

Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won’t meet me until your inspection appointment--after you've hired me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing. One thing that’s certain is that a home inspection requires a lot of work. Ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you.

 

 

Thank you for visiting my website.  Whether you ask me to perform your home inspection or you choose another home inspector I wish you many years of happiness in your new home.

Sincerely,

Kevin P. Etherson Sr.
