Inspectors

FIRST, A WORD ABOUT HOME INSPECTORS

If you are buying a home, it is always a good idea to have a complete home inspection performed by a professional who is capable of finding and identifying problems that may not be easily visible to you.
In California, home inspectors are not licensed! Consequently, almost anyone can go into the home inspection business. The only way a consumer can be sure that the Home Inspector they are about to hire is a trained professional is to look for their membership in the California Real Estate Inspection Association or CREIA!
CREIA members are the professionals in California. CREIA was founded by a group of Home Inspectors who were appalled by the lack of professionalism in their own industry. They organized CREIA to promote professional quality among Home Inspectors by requiring written examinations on technical as well as ethical problems. They promote the study of the structural nature of the house, as well as the "systems" (mechanical, electrical & plumbing) within the home. CREIA members must also pass an "ethics" examination before they can attain full membership.
Because CREIA has a due diligence process to insure that its members have a level of skill and knowledge, many enlightened real estate agents and brokers look for CREIA approval prior to recommending a Home Inspector to one of their clients.
The League of California Homeowners has actually given CREIA an exclusive endorsement and has "Approved" CREIA Home Inspectors available to be recommended to the public.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR INSPECTORS
Does the Inspector have FORMAL TRAINING?
Is the Inspector A MEMBER OF A PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION,or just a solo operator?
Does the Inspector have ERRORS & OMISSIONS INSURANCE?
Does the Inspector perform property inspections on a FULL-TIME BASIS?
Can the Inspector provide you with a SAMPLE REPORT?
Can you GET YOUR REPORT WITHIN 24 HOURS?
Does the Inspector offer to REPAIR ANY PROBLEMS? (Tip: Professional Home Inspectors will not do this - it is a conflict of interest!)
Does the Inspector offer a WRITTEN GUARANTEE?
Will the Inspector allow you to ATTEND THE INSPECTION ALONG WITH THE REALTOR? (Tip: A good inspector is glad to have you come along!)

Summer Home Improvment Tips

Summer Home Improvement TipsSummer Home Maintenance TipsGutters – Clean gutters and downspouts. If gutters become clogged they will hold water which could back-up and cause damage to the roof or walls. Carefully remove debris and dirt using a spoon or garden shovel. Use a garden hose to clean the downspouts. Simply place the garden hose at the opening and let water run through the downspout. Air Conditioner – Summer is the perfect time to have your air conditioner serviced to make sure it is operating efficiently. Also, check for growing vines near the air conditioning unit. They can easily grow and intertwine themselves throughout the unit. You also want to check to make sure there aren’t any ant mounds nearby since the ants can damage the unit.Windows and Door Frames – Check windows and door frames to ensure there are no openings which would reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner. You can use latex caulking to caulk around storm windows and door frames. If you will need to paint the caulk to match the surrounding area, be certain to use paintable caulk. This project is perfect for the summer since you only want to caulk on a warm, dry day. Trees and Shrub – Trim trees and shrubs that may be growing too close to the house or the air conditioning unit. Yard – Now is a good time to rid the yard of any debris which could harm the underlying grass. You should also check for any containers which might collect water thus becoming a perfect spot for mosquitoes to breed. Chimney – Hire someone to perform a chimney sweep. Doing this inspection now will allow plenty of time for repairs to be done before winter. Home Exterior – Wash the exterior of your home with water and a mild detergent. You can also purchase a cleaning product that attaches to the end of your hose and sprays a combination of water and detergent. This is a good alternative if you do not have a pressure washer. Concrete – Cracks in the driveway, sidewalk, patio, etc. can be repaired by using concrete caulk or concrete patch.
