    Nice advertisement for ASHI. Ironically, NAHI is based in Minnesota.

    Not a good advertisement for Andy Valdmanis of All American Building Inspections.

    The company:

    Home Page

    "The home buying process can be confusing and stressful. Not only do you need to consider things such as price and location, you also have to worry about whether the house itself has any hidden problems that could become costly surprises down the road.

    As professional Home Inspectors, its our job to look for those hidden problems for you. The Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the house. It provides you an expert opinion and professional report on the condition of the physical structure and various systems within a house. Giving you peace of mind on what is likely the largest purchase youll ever make.


    In order to prepare the report, an inspector must conduct a visual inspection of the house. The inspection process typically takes about 3 hours to complete. This of course may vary, according to the size and condition of the home. We strongly encourage you to accompany the inspector during the inspection. This will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of the home.


    We will inspect all the structural elements and systems of the home. Items that will typically be included in an inspection are:


    Framing (structure)
    Roof and attic
    Foundation
    Walls
    Electrical system
    Plumbing system
    Heating and air conditioning systems
    Kitchen
    Bathrooms

    Additional items and systems unique to a particular home can also be inspected.


    When the inspection is complete, well tell you of any problems that were discovered and discuss them with you. We will also tell you about any routine maintenance that should be performed, as well as answer any questions you may have. Youll also receive a full written report of the inspection.


    Our goal is to discover and inform you of anything we find that might affect your purchase decision. Well tell you about any problems we find, and make repair recommendations. Well also inform you of what maintenance tasks are required to keep the home and its systems in top condition."

    Interesting that their benchmark inspector has only been inspecting for 1.5 years. They couldn't find someone with 15-20 years?

    I'm not sure how you got the impression that I had only 1.5 yrs. experience. I've been a professional home inspector since December of 1975. This is why I don't trust TV news.

    Ron, lighten up a little. Read the article, it says Roger started in 1975. Open up those INACHI eyes and don't be
    so jealous.

    I just had to look a little further. Ron I hope that TREC is just a little behind in updating their records. Did you know that your home inspection license is expired according to the TREC site?
