[DangeloInspections]

Thank you all for the kind words. I am very thankful and consider myself very blessed.

VaPeople.....I appreciate the chance to earn your business, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I make every effort to fit inspections into my schedule, but if by chance I cannot, (due to the high amount of scheduled Villages Warranty inspections), I can always refer you to another inspector who I know you will be pleased with. For me it is more about making sure folks are taken care of whether I get the business or not.

I am good friends with two other inspectors who are also ASHI certified and I know do a wonderful job. The three of us help each other and train together because all three of us take pride in what we do.

In fact, the three of us will be in classes all weekend in a couple of days learning the latest advancements, codes, etc for Florida homes.

All inspectors out there are not the same. A few are famous for 45 minute, $150 inspections. Some do not go up on the roof or in the attic. They usually do not use thermal imaging or quality software. Some do 4-5 inspections a day.....something I will never understand.

A good inspection usually takes about 3-4 hours on site or more. I normal "new buyer-for sale" quality inspection should cost about $300 or more. As a home is usually the most expensive item you will ever buy, it is usually worth every penny.

Good Inspectors have an ethical obligation to YOU....not the builder or a realtor. They are common sense, balanced and not alarmist. They should take the time to explain systems that a typical person from up North may not be familiar with, such as sprinkler systems, Heat Pumps, Whole house A/C systems, etc.

Remember, as a potential buyer you have every right to hire a Home Inspector of your choice.

I apologize for the long post. It's a subject I'm pretty passionate about. Congratulations on your plans and good luck on your future purchase.
