They do not "pass" or "fail" inspection.

"My realtor recommended Sherman to do my home inspection. Not only did he miss small things (e.g. my front porch light not working) but he missed big things as well (e.g. the flashing on my chimney leaking). The biggest thing I will comment about was not telling me there were roots in my sewer - which I paid extra for a scope!! After finding out that there were roots in my sewer due to my drains not working, I looked for the sewer report and could not find it anywhere. Once I called his office about this matter, it mysteriously appeared on the website. Now he is saying it was there all along. Do yourself a favor and find a different home inspector. This guy is a liar and a thief!"

We are a family owned business and when we inspect your future home we do it with the same respect we would treat as if it were our own. We will be honest and hope to make the purchase of your new home an easy one. We also have our Wood destroying Insect (WDI) license as well. All of our home inspections exceed ASHI standards.

"I am the seller of a house that the prospective buyers hired Wilcox Home Inspection to inspect on 9/7/21. During the inspection the inspector, Gary, (later I found out was actually the owner of the company) operated a Jacuzzi tub that had not been operated for 20 years and pumped massive quantities of water destroying the entire ceiling of the room below the tub. The inspector under reported the leak describing it as ‘minor’ over the phone. By the time I was able to return to the property several hours later there was still active leaking of sizable amounts of water with 100% destruction of a ceiling of a 15’x12’ room and active dripping onto furniture. I was astounded that any individual would leave the house with an active problem still in progress. His claim was that it was not leaking when he left. Also I was astounded, given the magnitude of the damage that he would leave the property without calling the owner back and discussing the situation in person. Subsequently, Gary(owner)has stated that he and his company is not responsible and has not made any effort to assist with repairs. Generously, this could be described as an unfortunate accident but it was handled so poorly in so many ways that I would recommend any prospective customer give this company a wide berth."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?

While you can waive a home inspection when buying a house as-is, it’s not a good idea. An inspection will identify any current and potential problems with the home and give you a starting point to budget for repairs. An inspection will also alert you to any major problems with the house that may make you not want to proceed with the purchase.

While the air inside your home should have some moisture—the ideal humidity level is between 30% and 50%—too much moisture can lead to issues. Some ways to tell if there’s too much moisture in your home include condensation inside your windows, mildew growth in the bathroom or mold on surfaces, peeling paint, or an uptick in allergy symptoms.

While you can change an air filter yourself, you should have a licensed HVAC technician conduct your HVAC inspection. HVAC professionals have the knowledge, tools, and experience to investigate each part of your system, tune it up as needed, and offer you expert recommendations.

Closing out an open building permit requires that you have your professional schedule a final inspection of the work they completed. In some cases, like a roof replacement or solar installation, a building inspector from your local municipality may just carry out a drive-by inspection. In other cases, like new construction or a change to interior plumbing or electrical work, the inspector might need to gain access to your home to confirm that the work was done in accordance with the local building code.
