Do you know any good Home inspectrs in West Chester Pennsylvania region?

Since you are a Yahoo user, why not try the Yahoo Yellow Pages:

Look for home inspectors and then check out their references, licensing, insurance, and the fine print in their contracts/agreements before signing.

Good luck with your search.

Answer 2

There are a variety of Home Inspection associations, such as ASHI and NACHI. If your state does not require a license for home inspectors, it is definitely recommended to use one of these associations that require certain standards. The standards for the two above listed associations are pretty much identical. I would recommend going to: www.inspectorseek.com. This will list a number of qualified inspectors in your area. Give several of them a call and check out their web pages, find one you feel comfortable with. Remember don't go just by price, this is one case where you could get what you pay for.
Trying to get professionals from every aspect of the home would include and electrician, hvac tech, plumber, structurally engineer, someone to inspect the siding and roof etc. the list just goes on. Not only would this be very expensive it would almost be impossible to do in the time frame you usually have to get an inspection done. A home inspector will let you know if you need a specialist to inspect a specific system of the home.
Good luck.

I am a home inspector in Illinois. The best place to start would be to go through the below link and enter your zip code. As with any businesses, there are good and there are better. ASHI, (American Society of Home Inspectors), Inspectors are more reputable, held to a higher standard and are required to be licensed!
Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Whoever you use, make sure he is licensed and insured, and READ THE CONTRACT CLOSELY. Many make you waive holding them liable for anythig.

The ones I've seen present this pretty and extensive reports of the obvious, but never get to the important stuff. Ask for and check out references. Don't look to real estate people for leads, as they will refer you to ones that won't rock the boat.
You need to make sure they inspect for hidden defects, appliance and heating system problems

Answer 5

if your passsing papers on a house, most banks require a home inspection. for piece of mind, i would go out and get a trade person from every trade, ex. plumber, electician etc... .it will call cost you a few extra dollars, but at least you know what your getting into, and you will do better on the price of the house

Answer 6

I dont know about your area, but I used a company called AmeriSpec. They did an outstanding job, and I would recommend them.
