Home Inspection is at the very core of BONSAI Inspection Company's principles. You won't find any sales pitches, price schemes, 'how long my report is', or knocks on 'why you shouldn't choose the other guy' here. Why, you say? Read on....

A truly great Home inspection is one where You, the Client, feel comfortable - not rushed - have all of your questions addressed in a manner that you understand, and leave your prospective new home feeling secure in knowing you are well informed. What that means is at the heart of every great Home Inspection is the relationship between Inspector and Client.

Your Home Inspection is a BIG deal to both you AND me. I will work to gain your trust from the get-go, help you feel as comfortable as possible, and get the lines of communication open! That's what sets BONSAI Inspection Company apart from the rest!

Let's face it - trustworthiness, honesty, and thoroughness don't grow on trees. Isn't that what you really want and need during something this important?

All I ask you to do is give me a call!

A typical single-family home usually takes around 2 hours to complete. That's the actual inspecting part.

After I'm done inspecting, we'll sit down and go over everything in the report in detail. During that time, you can ask as many questions as you like, take additional notes, or get up, go back, and look at an item in the report in question again. I call this extremely important part, the summary phase. I consider this phase to be the most important part of the entire home inspection. The summary phase lasts as long as You need it to. I will continue to answer questions and address your concerns until you feel completely satisfied that you understand the results of your inspection.

At the conclusion of the summary phase you will be handed two copies of your Inspection Report. No waiting! You will be armed and ready to enter the next phase of your home purchase immediately!
