Maximum Inspection Services was started to provide quality home inspections to prospective home buyers and sellers of condos, townhouses, single- and multi-family homes. Maximum is owned and operated by Jeff Albert in 2009. I have performed more than one thousand home inspections since 2004. I have over fifteen years of experience in building science including lead paint testing (non-residential), asbestos in building inspections, mold assessments, home inspections and writing building damage repair estimates for insurance companies.

"Jeff was great. He was right on time, spent 2 hours checking the property, which involved 14 +ft ceiling beams that he checked with his ladder in multiple areas. He was kind enough to call a friend who lived in the building and have him come and tell us his experiences there. I would highly recommend him!"

Omega Home Inspections understands that purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments that you will make. We provide objective home inspections with context to help you make informed buying decisions. Our home inspection reports are computer-generated and easy-to-read that will be made available to you within 24 - 48 hours of the inspection. The home inspection usually lasts about three hours, depending on the size of the home and systems to be inspected. You are not required to be present during the inspection but you are welcome to attend and follow along with the inspector. We are excited to work for you and ensure you are making a sound investment! (We are not structural engineers and do not do structural inspections, nor do we inspect mobile homes.)

"Stuart is professional, thorough, responsive and very knowledgeable. He patiently answered all of our questions throughout the inspection and we left feeling like we had a great understanding of the home we're buying. As for the inspection report itself, I intend to reference it for months and years to come as I prioritize improvements. Stuart was also able to turn the report around quickly to accommodate the timelines of our purchase. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of home inspection services."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

An inspection can take up to an hour, depending on the type of AC system you have. If you need to add more refrigerant, expect an extra 30 to 45 minutes.

A home inspection is always worth it when buying a home, as it can reveal major issues with a home that could cost you thousands of dollars post-closing. If it doesn’t uncover any issues, then you have some peace of mind that you won’t have to lay out tens of thousands of dollars in repairs after you close.

If you suspect that your roof is leaking, you can hire a professional roofing contractor to inspect it to find the source of the issue. There are many possible reasons why your roof is leaking, including broken shingles, damaged flashing, clogged gutters, and more. A roof leak inspection will help you pinpoint the exact cause of the leak and the pro will suggest the best way to resolve it.

An attic inspection checklist for inspectors can include many things, like signs of water damage and pest infestation, structural issues, damage to insulation and roof decking, air leaks, opportunities to boost home efficiency, and HVAC duct and air handler inspections. If your attic is finished, your attic inspector might also confirm that all of the work was done according to local building codes to ensure your space is legally finished.

Home inspections can reveal many different issues that could end up costing buyers thousands of dollars or more post-closing to rectify, so what a buyer is willing to pay for a home largely depends on the findings of the home inspection. Major issues like foundation damage or structural problems could significantly bring down the selling price. A “clean” home inspection that reveals no issues may make the home more enticing to buyers, potentially raising the selling price.
