PRE HOME INSPECTIONS BY A PROFESSIONAL LICENSED CONTRACTOR
A pre-home inspection can
help you sell your home faster, stop your buyer from backing out, and save you
thousands of dollars. I have been a real estate investor for more than 40 years
and this is what happens. You accept a buyer's offer and a purchase agreement is
signed. The buyer hires a home inspector to look for defects, to look for
repairs that you must pay for, to look for reasons to discount the price already
agreed upon, and to look for reasons to back out of the purchase. You can thwart
most of this by getting a pre-home inspection and by having your home cleaned
and repaired.
IT IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO FIND PROBLEMS WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS IN ESCROW
Many cities require that
homes are inspected by the Department of Building and Safety, or other
departments that have jurisdiction in your city. You've finally found a buyer,
signed a purchase agreement, and you have a limited number of days to close
escrow. This is not the best time to find that something in your home, you never
though about, violates a Building and Safety Code. The building department
inspector may find that a furnace, electric wires, water pipes, drain pipes, a
patio cover, or a room addition was installed both incorrectly and without a
permit. The building department will require that corrections are made, permits
must be obtained, and the work performed must pass an inspection before your
house can close escrow. Some corrections can be resolved within a few weeks and
some can take several months. Meanwhile, your have a limited number of days to
close escrow and failure to close on time can result in significant liabilities,
on your behalf, including a significant reduction in the selling price, a
lawsuit for failure to perform, and cancellation of the purchase agreement by
the buyer."
IT IS NOT ALWAYS SAFE JUST BECAUSE IT WORKS!
Just because something works and
looks good does not mean it is safe and it does not mean it will pass a home
inspection. Sellers often think appliances are installed so they will pass an
inspection and find out something much different when getting a home inspection.
These are only a few of the defects that are uncovered by professional home
inspectors.
WATER HEATERS
- Many water heaters have earthquake brackets that are
not installed correctly. Water heaters must have two straps and each strap must
have two 3/8 inch lag bolts screwed directly into studs on the right and rear
right and left sides of the water heater. Water heaters must have the pressure
relief pipe extended to either a drain or to outside the building.
APPLIANCES - Kitchen
stoves, water heaters, and clothes dryers must have the proper size gas
connectors and each appliance must have the proper type gas shut-off valve that
does not require a wrench. No appliance can have a copper nor aluminum connector
pipe.
WINDOWS
- All windows must easily open, close, and lock.
FURNACE -
Many furnaces that have been replaced, even by professional contractors, have
many code violations for the installation of vents, gas connectors, and vents.
ROOFS - Even roofs that look brand new have defects
that are not visible from the ground. Defects often include nails sticking
through roofing material, flashings that are not caulked properly, holes, and
cracks around fireplaces and valleys.
UNDERNEATH HOUSE - The
most common problems found underneath homes is debris (cellulose) that attracts
termites, pests, and fungus, electric boxes with no covers and exposed wires,
leaks in drains and water pipes, pipes that are not supported and sagging, mold
growth, rodents, and heat ducts that are disconnected.
ELECTRIC WIRING - All
spaces in the electric panel must have a circuit breaker or a blank cover. All
wall plugs and all ceiling lights must work. No wall plugs should have black
stains indicating the receptacle is loose or faulty. Every junction box must
have a cover in the attic, underneath the house, and wherever a junction box is
visible.
CEILING FANS - All
bathroom ceiling fans must work and must be vented to the atmosphere
STOVE FANS - All stove
fans must work properly and cannot not have excess grease that could be a fire
hazard.
CHIMNEYS -
No visible cracks. Flue dampers must work properly.
SMOKE DETECTORS -
Smoke detectors must be installed and in working condition in every bedroom and
hallway.
PLUMBING SYSTEM
- All drains must flow freely. No drippy faucets. No
leaking flappers inside toilets. Toilets must flush well. No cracks in china
fixtures. All faucets must work properly.
SHOWER STALLS - Shower
stalls are inspected for cracks in tile, for leaking shower pans, and for wood
damaged caused by leaks.
PERMITS FOR APPLIANCES AND CONSTRUCTION
- The home inspection does not include checking with your local
building department for permits, but the home inspection may give you an
indication whether or not construction was done according to building codes when
your home inspector notifies you regarding these obvious violations.
PRICES
- We own more than 130 homes and
apartments units, so we know what we are doing and we know how to get work
completed for a reasonable cost. Our mission is to visit with our clients one
time and perform every service you need. In the end, when you use a professional
service you get everything done right the first time and you save money by using
one company for all services.|
We know from our own real estate experience that we often pay more money up
front to clean and repair an apartment, but we always recover our money and have
a larger return on our profit much in a short period because when we do a job
right the first time we sell and rent homes much faster. When we do a job first
the right time we don't have to make repairs every time a tenant moves.
THIS IS HOW WE DO OUR WORK
- We are not cleaning like the maids in hotels. When we clean a house or
apartment we make it immaculately clean. We are professional painters and will
use rollers, paint brushes, and a paint sprayer only when the finished results
are perfect. We have professional plasterers that can make walls and ceilings as
smooth as glass. We can change the front of cabinets and make them look brand
new for less than 20% the cost of new cabinets. We can repair toilets and make
them better than most new toilets for a fraction of the cost. We can repair
furnaces and replace them for half the cost of most contractors. We will not
paint with rollers and get paint on tile, floors, and electric plates. We will
change painted electric switched and plugs to make rooms look cleaner and newer.
We can repair everything in every home or apartment and the list of things we
can do is too long to write.

- We clean the walls, ceilings, carpets, doors, closets, shelves,
windows, window sills, and light fixtures. Each room takes one employee no less
than four hours to clean. CLEAN WITH NO CARPET CLEANING $60 Each - CLEAN WITH
