Avoid
Costly Surprises.
As a buyer you are always at risk,
know matter how much you research the area and find
the perfect home for you and your family. It's
the items you don't see that end up costing you. Having
your future home inspected by a professional home
inspector will reduce that risk, and possibly save
you thousands in unforeseen repairs that could have
been taken care of by the seller prior to closing
escrow.
The fact is nothing could be worse
than suddenly finding out there are major defects
or serious health hazards with the home you just purchased. I
inspect every home as if it were for me and my family.
With so
many home inspectors to choose from many of which
are "fly-by-night" it's very important you
find a qualified professional home inspector.
In the state of Washington where there is no education
requirements to become a home inspector you need to
be very diligent who you choose to put your family's
health and financial future in.
I have inspected 150 unit apartment
complexes, strip malls, and thousands of family homes.
Rest assured
you have located the most qualified home inspector
in the Portland Vancouver area. James Fronsdahl
has the experience you are looking for. It's more
than experience you will receive with your home inspection,
I have enthusiasm and passion about inspecting, I
love my job and it reflects in the inspection you
receive.
Thank you for choosing me to perform
a thorough Home Inspection, you will not regret it.
This is guaranteed.
I look forward
to meeting you in the near future,
James

What
is a Home Inspection?
A HOME
INSPECTION is an objective visual
examination of the physical structure and systems
of the home, from the foundation to the roof. I inspect
all accessible areas including a thorough examination
in the crawlspace and attic area.
Most homes
will be examined between 2-4 hours depending on the
condition of the structure. You are encouraged
to be there to ask questions and use my extensive
knowledge to further educate you about the systems
of the home. If for some reason you cannot make
it to the home inspection you will feel like you were
there with my exceptionally detailed, easy to read,
picture filled, home inspection report. From
a past client who is a doctor: "Your
Inspection report has more content than my patient
reports". I get compliments
like this all the time.
New
Home vs. Old Home.
The OLDER
HOME will have older components, some
will have been upgraded, some will be partially upgraded,
and some will have the original components.
Most do not meet today's safety standards, these I
will inform you of so you can prioritize possible
upgrades. I enjoy inspecting and specialize
in older vintage homes in the Portland and Vancouver
area. The problem items I encounter often are
with the component upgrades and how they were installed.
All components of a home have a life span, it is this
life span that leads to eventual replacement.
Let me inspect your new vintage home and I will determine
the conditions of these components so you can make
an informed decision.
The NEW
HOME is just that, new. All
of the components are new including newer types of
building materials. Most of these newer building
materials will not withstand the effects of deferred
maintenance that older homes can. Maintenance
is the key to a healthy home. With so many
builders and sub contractors in such a hurry to construct
homes these days, to many items are overlooked.
The county building inspectors are overwhelmed with
the amount of inspections. On average the county
building inspector will be at the home for minimal
amount of time in comparison to a full Home Inspection.
In addition to these newer building materials
"code" does not really address some of their
installation techniques and leaves it up to the manufactures
installation instructions. This is the number
one item I encounter on newer homes, products not
installed per guidelines. Each system needs
to work with the other system around it. When
these systems are not installed correctly or when
one system conflicts with another, devastating effects
occur, and you are left paying for it.
An
Impartial Third Party.
Building
Inspections is my only business, it is a business
I take very seriously. I except NO influence
form anyone, making me an impartial third party.
The sole purpose it to inform you the client of your
investment. To provide you with a comprehensive,
fair, independent, objective evaluation so that you
can understand and take care of your valuable investment.
Your interests are my interests before, during, and
after the inspection.
Being an involved professional inspector
in two of the nations largest home inspection associations
and many local associations is demanding. It
requires time and dedication to the highest ethics
in the industry.
If you demand an ethical, educated,
experienced, Home Inspector call NOW!
I look forward to meeting you in the
near future.
