Private Home Inspection

We found an inspector to come out same day! We were actually having lunch at one of our favorite restaurants Sunday afternoon and Chad's parents noticed a car parked next to them with a home inspection advertisement posted on the side of the door. I left my business card and a note to give me a call ASAP for a home inspection. Monday morning he gave me a call and set up a same day appointment! :)

We met at 4pm and the inspection lasted about 3 hours. Our inspector was VERY thorough and informative. Being first time home owners he really took his time and explained the functions of several aspects of a home that we did not consider the importance of. He pointed out many good items and a few items that could be improved upon. Overall he said he was happy with the work so far. 

Items to review:
  • Loose railing where capped wall will be upstairs.
  • Railing lumber was crooked on capped wall.
  • Insulation missing top portion of 2nd floor.
  • Exposed wood on outside of basement.
  • Exposed wood under fireplace bump out (exterior).
He took pictures of the above items. He is going to be creating a inspection report with pictures and recommendations that we should receive within 48 hours.

We were both very happy we had the inspection done. We plan to have him back for a final inspection and also a radon inspection in the spring. 

If you are building in NE Ohio or need a home inspection I HIGHLY recommend Dean White at Ohio Home Inspections, LLC. http://www.neohiohomeinspections.com
