Home inspection · HUD FHA 203(k) · Mobile notary
We check the foundation, roof, wiring, plumbing and HVAC before you buy, write up HUD FHA 203(k) renovation loans, and put part of every inspection fee into handrails, ramps and repairs for elderly and low-income families.
Report, page two
Inspections are the core of the business and where the income comes from. A portion of it goes back out as repair help for elderly and underserved families, so the report you read has a second column you never see.
Minimal admin or project management fees may apply depending on the project. How the repair program works
“Valuable service being provided generally to an under served portion of the population-- the owners, in addition to be experienced, dependable and trustworthy, they have an amazing heart for the work they do.”
Bridgette Miller runs the inspections as a HUD FHA Inspector, and the same people who walk your attic decide where the repair money goes next. More about One Stop Shop
Scope of work
Most people call for an inspection before they buy. Renovation buyers call for the 203(k) write-up. Families who need a repair they can't afford call for the program the inspections pay for.
Inspection
Foundation, walls, roof and windows, the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, then insulation and ventilation. Two to four hours on site, depending on the size and condition of the house.

Mobile NotaryNeed a document notarized? The notary comes to you.Mobile notaryThe walk-through, in order
Every inspection covers the same ground in the same order, so nothing gets skipped on a busy day. The last stop is not in your house at all.
Outside · structure
The structural integrity of the home comes before anything else: the foundation and walls, the roof, and every window. It is the part of a house that is most expensive to get wrong after closing.
Inside · wiring and water
The electrical system gets checked for safety hazards and faulty wiring. The plumbing gets checked for leaks, pipe issues and water pressure problems, from the panel in the garage to the last faucet in the house.
Attic · HVAC and insulation
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning come next, then the insulation and ventilation overhead, where a water stain on the decking or thin batts tell you more than a listing ever will.
Then · the second column
You get the findings to negotiate with, plan around or fix before you list. Part of the fee you paid goes into the repair program: handrails, ramps and minor repairs for elderly and low-income families.
Book the inspection before your option period runs out. Call or text, pick a time that works, and you will know what you are buying.
