Why Choose Me
Mike Ciavattieri - Owner/Certified Residential Inspector
Bonsai Inspection Company
MY PROMISE TO YOU
Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most
professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me.
Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment,
experience, reporting methods and yes, different pricing. One thing for sure
is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately a thorough
inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's own effort.
If you permit me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give
you my very best effort. This I promise you.
Mike Ciavattieri
Your inspector's qualifications should be a critical part of your decision making process.
The cost of your inspection should not be the sole determining factor in who you choose.
Why? Because home inspectors are not all alike. Being an inspector is no longer just
having a truck, a ladder, and some construction background. Educational background,
experience, and a strong determination to stay ahead of the information curve are
what set a great inspector apart from an average one in this rapidly developing
industry.
My unique educational background and previous employment sets me apart from most
inspectors. It allows me to evaluate properties and systems from both a scientific
and engineering standpoint.

Previous to entering the world of building inspection, I spent 8+ years working
in high-tech, where I developed skills in scientific analysis, systems design,
thermodynamics, and heat transfer. It was here also, that I developed my
exceptional abilities in verbal communications and formal report writing.
I have performed over 2,200 building inspections since 2000 - that's a lot of
customers. As the owner of BONSAI, I continue to invest time and effort on
a daily basis developing more skills and more services to help bring you,
my next customer, and the best quality service I can provide.

monoxide analyzer, CPS combustible gas detector, thermal anemometer, Bacharach
draft gauge, hygrometer, and a variety of other meters and sensors. For thermal
