INSPECTION SERVICES


HOME INSPECTIONS

I utilize the most advanced tools available to provide you with a home
inspection experience that is second to none.  Guaranteed.


RADON GAS TESTING

Louisville is a hot spot for Radon Gas.  I am one of only a handful of NRPP
Certified Inspectors qualified to perform Radon gas testing in Kentucky.


MANUFACTURED STONE

I am nationally recognized as a leader in failed manufactured stone siding
inspections.  If your home has stone veneer siding, it’s likely a matter of time
before it gives trouble.


LITIGATION SUPPORT

Expert Witness Inspections & Litigation Support is available for all types of
construction, personal injury, and defective home inspection related cases.


MOISTURE INTRUSION

Water damage will destroy a home fast, and you may not ever notice it.  My
moisture intrusion inspections will detect the leaks and offer solutions on how
to correct them.


THERMAL IMAGING

Thermal Imaging can help locate missing insulation, air infiltration, and hidden
water damage.  All of my inspections include a FLIR HD Thermal scan of the
entire home.

WOW, AMAZING HOME INSPECTOR!

Ben was by far the best home inspection experience I have ever had. He was very
responsive taking time to have multiple conversations by phone to work through
his schedule and discuss his findings. When does that ever happen? He was quick
to schedule even though extremely busy and got us a very detailed but easy to
understand report delivered as promised. Highly recommend him if you are looking
for a home inspection. Thanks for a great experience, Ben!

HOME INSPECTION FAQ

I get it. You’re freaking out because you just BOUGHT A HOUSE. I bet you have a
bunch of questions too.  No worries, you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve listed below the common questions I get about how all this home inspection
stuff works. If you don’t see your question listed out below, feel free to shoot
me a message here, or if you’d rather, you can give me a call or text
at 502-938-5190 Remember, there are no stupid questions.  I’m here to help.

Who hires the home inspector? Typically the buyer of the home chooses and hires
the home inspector.  There are occasions that the seller has a pre-listing
inspection done, this is rare.

How much does a home inspection cost? There are a lot of aspects to consider
when talking about the price of a home inspection.  Size, age, and the
complexity of the home are all variables. The individual inspector is a factor
as well.

New inspectors with little experience will usually charge much less than a
veteran who has decades of experience and a solid knowledge base.

How long does a home inspection take? The time spent on your home inspection
will vary greatly depending on several factors. Size, age, and condition of the
home play the biggest role, but the individual inspector also determines how
much time he chooses to spend at the house.

Note: I typically spend around 4 hours at a house that is 2000 square feet. I
find that spending less does not give us enough time to review the home
thoroughly. Some inspectors spend an hour in the same house.  Time will vary for
every home inspector, depending on the quality of their work and the individual
inspector’s experience.

Should I attend my home inspection?  Absolutely!  You should be very suspicious
of any home inspector who tells you not to attend YOUR home inspection.  I
strongly encourage everyone to attend every second of the inspection.

My Realtor wants to know if you have a SupraKey?  Yes, I do.  SupraKey is the
access app that unlocks the key boxes you may have seen at the listing. I take
care of all scheduling through Showingtime and can let myself into the home.

What does a home inspection cover?  A good home inspection should cover nearly
all aspects of the home.  However, there are a few specialty areas, such as
swimming pools and septic systems, that you’ll want to have a specialist inspect
for you. Those are not typically covered in a general home inspection.

Can a home pass or fail an inspection?  No.  A home inspection is not about
passing or failing.  It’s more about its performance.  A good inspection should
expose current defects and age the major components of the home (think HVAC and
appliances), so you know what to expect moving forward.

Is the seller present for the home inspection?  Typically the sellers are not
home during the inspection.  While there is no rule that says they can not be
home, most choose to leave for the inspection.

Can the seller refuse to make any repairs?  Yes. Under most contracts, the
sellers can refuse to make any repairs based on your home inspection.  However,
you can also make the decision not to purchase the home.

What areas of Kentucky do you cover?  I try to limit my travel to within and
about an hour from Louisville.  However, I can make special arrangements for
anywhere in the state if needed.  Jefferson, Bullitt, Oldham, Spencer, Nelson,
Washington, Shelby, Henry, and Hardin counties are all part of my normal
coverage area.

Do you perform home inspections in Indiana? No. I currently only serve Kentucky
for my home inspections. I do however perform Manufactured Stone Veneer
inspections in Indiana, along with litigation support.
