Get an unbiased inspection of the home from a certified Delaware home inspector…

I’ve been inspecting houses for years and you’d be surprised at how many of the existing homeowners living in the house, are totally unaware of the major problems happening inside… When you think about it for a minute, it makes sense! How often do you go up in the attic to check for problems? How often do you climb up on the roof to investigate… how often do you checkout the foundation of the home? And if you did inspect these things yourself, do you even know what you’re looking for?
Well… these homeowners are in the same predicament too. Many are totally unaware of what could be happening in their own homes. That’s why having an inspection from a certified home inspector puts you in a position to know what’s going on with the property before you buy.
Having this information outlined in a detailed inspection report puts you at an advantage. Armed with this knowledge, you’re able to negotiate a better price, cover repair costs, or get a new roof, etc. For example:
Photo Description: During the course of the heater inspection we found high levels of Carbon Monoxide. The flue vent pipe was split open and damaged. This is a safety hazard. The heater was turned off and the seller was notified of the condition. A heating contractor came out and made repair, the same day as the inspection.
There’s no reason for you having to pay these expenses out of your pocket… unless you didn’t get the property inspected before you purchased!
Weak Laws in the State of Delaware Make it Easy for Anyone to Become a Home Inspector Almost Overnight! All that’s required to become a home inspector is a business license from the local county clerk’s office. Beyond that, a few tools from the local Home Depot and you’re in business.
No experience required! No hands on training! No classroom training!
The home inspector at your front door could be unlicensed, uninsured or under insured, lacking the proper training or much worse…
And this is precisely the problem… non-regulation and no licensing of Delaware home inspectors can cost you. An inexperienced home inspector could literally cost you a fortune!
My name is Ted Hinderer and I’m the President of Quality Home Inspections. Purchasing a home can be very stressful, and purchasing one under these “conditions” is enough to cause even more anxiety. My primary goal with this website is to educate you about this process, while ensuring you end up with an Inspector that has the experience, the training, and the professional knowledge to inspect your potential house in an unbiased manner.
| Ted was very prompt, thorough, courteous and was willing to answer any questions I had. We’ve never worked with any other companies because we’re first time home buyers, but I can’t imagine any company doing a better job. Thank you so much. | Brittany W. Middletown, Delaware |
| Due to another meeting I wasn’t able to meet the inspector at the house for inspection. He was very polite over the phone and seemed very eager to get to the house. The inspection report was very clean and wasn’t confusing. Even though I wasn’t there, my realator was and he explained everything to her as he was inspecting the house. Very happy with our inspector and your company. | Jamie O. Wilmington, DE |
Before I get started, let me explain what a home inspection is, and how it could actually help and profit you even more.
The typical home inspection consists of a series of non-invasive and visual inspections of the home and its systems. Before meeting up at the closing table, it’s important that you know the conditions of the entire house… to include the foundation, the roof, the a/c and heating sytsems, the plumbing, the electrical systems, appliances and everything else in-between.
At the conclusion of the home inspection, the inspector will compile both a detailed report (for you and your agent), and a summary report outlining the findings.
How to Select the Right Home Inspector in Delaware
First… ask the inspector for a copy of an actual home inspection report. This will give you a general idea of how thorough they’ll be while inspecting your property. If they refuse to provide you with a sample copy, find someone else. In just a moment, I’ll present you with a copy of my report right here online.
