Re: Home Inspectors
No way you should skip the home inspection. Just get a good one. I see quite a few recommendations on this site. Check out l2ridehd. He seems pretty particular and posted that he just purchased in TV.

Do you think the thinks they found were more than enough to cover the $250 spent (Which isn't hard with todays labor prices)? Also were these obvious things one would find themselves with some checking? |

Re: Home Inspectors
Our home inspector was excellent. We never would have found these things ourselves. From a tiny crack or cracks in grouting to loose shingles on the roof, also a hairline crack in our leaded glass door, etc. He was great! I would highly recommended him to anyone. :bigthumbsup: Well worth the price.

Re: Home Inspectors
We also used Pat Degioia, A-1 Villages Home Inspection, 352-205-0180, to inspect our brand new home with the builder prior to closing. I was very pleased with his services. He was thorough (per my subsequent conversation with the builder) and did find a couple of significant items and some minor items which the builder either fixed during the inspection or the next day. I was very pleased with the inspector and the builder. Pat's report arrived within hours of the inspection. For me the peace of mind was well Worth the cost. I plan on having him reinspect about a month before the end of the one year warranty.

PRECISION HOME & PROPERTY a Winner !!!
Quote:
about 2 1/2 hrs. I found him very thourough & clear. In a new HADLEY Designer. I didn't expect he'd find anything major. However, he pointed out several places where the Tile Joints over Dry Wall had cracked- Certainly a Long Term problem. To me, it paid for the inspection. |

Most home inspectors are happy to take both new purchases of pre-owned homes or warranty jobs. From what I've seen and heard, most that work in TV do a pretty good job. I know I've been impressed with Pat of A-1 and J.R. of Best. Both are diligent and find both the big and small stuff.
