Copper State Home Inspections
www.copper-state-home.pro
Welcomes you!
 

Remember,

before any home can be inspected!


All utilities must be in service
to complete a home inspection.


This includes water, electric and *gas
 *(if the home has gas
appliances such as gas heat furnace,
water heater or range). 

The inspection cannot be completed
if any of these services
 are shut off.

.
All return trips due to utilities being turned off during the inspection will require an additional service charge.  A home inspector cannot provide a complete report meeting InterNACHI's or the State of Arizona's Standards of Practice.  These standards must be met.
Selecting an Inspector
 When selecting your inspector you should remember!  The cost of the inspection is pretty small in comparison to what you are paying for your investment.

Your inspector has a few short hours to come onto a property (that he/she has more then likely never seen before) and find every visible defect they can find and create an accurate report for their client.  The information provided in the report is used to determine your final decision of the purchase in most cases.

Considering the cost of the home you are purchasing and the amount you are paying your Realtor, why would you consider hiring  the CHEAPEST inspector you can find? 

So don't be fooled by the quick walk through cheap inspectors.

Copper State's home inspection usually takes from 2 1/2 to 4 hours to complete  sometimes more time is needed depending on the age, condition and number of AC / heating units that need to be inspected.  I strongly urge my client to attend all, or at the very least, part of the home inspection, so I can address questions they might have directly at the time of the inspection.  This enables us to address the findings directly, and they will have a better understanding of what has been reported.

That much time is considered par for the industry.  It actually takes that amount of time for a certified home inspector to provide a completed report.  A certified home  inspection (you must remember) requires ALL SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS of the home and property to be inspected and reported on.  If your looking for a certified home inspector, you need to expect the inspection to take some time.

ADA Accessibility Assessments

We are not limited to just home inspection, in addition, as a certified Accessibility Inspector, I provide accessibility assessments of properties for ADA Accessibility standards.  These services can be provided at the time of condo and multi-unit inspections (for an minimal additional fee), or as a completely separate service.

Accessibility has been required in all commercial  and multi-family construction standards for over 20 years.  It is not uncommon that over time things can change.  Sometimes contractors have made repairs or upgrades to the properties common areas and/or residential units.  During the work, some accessibility standards may have been accidentally reduced or removed creating a restriction of access for the persons they are intended to assist.  This can have a dramatic effect on accessibility to condo units, apartments or retail businesses and limit access for persons with disabilities.  We can provide an assessment and consultation of the property to insure those needs are being met and that all residents and patrons are allowed full access to the properties facilities as originally intended.
