Welcome to FYI Property Inspection. The fact that you're here means you're looking for just the right home inspector to take a closer look at the home you've considered purchasing in El Paso, Horizon, Socorro, Canutillo or Anthony,TX. Congratulations - you've come to the right place.
I am anInterNACHIcertified, second generation home inspector and I enjoy helping each client find the home that's just right for them. I look at each home as if I was purchasing it for myself.
As the owner of my own inspection company, I will work harder for you than someone who is an employee. As an inspector who owns his company depends on providing you exceptional service in order to stay in business.
As the owner of the home inspection company, I have a vested interest in ensuring your satisfaction. No employee has the same level of dedication.
Every home will have issues, even brand new homes. Some home inspectors may give you a "clean bill of health" without identifying any problems. I'll be honest - I have yet to find a house that didn't have problems, but it's up to you to decide whether those problems are worth fixing or walking away from. My home inspection report will help you make a sound decision on whether the good outweighs the bad, as well as giving you negotiating power at the offer table.
My average El Paso home inspection takes about 3 hours, depending on the size of the home. I encourage my clients to go through the house with me so they can see my findings firsthand. In doing so, I will explain things that may not be a issue, but could possibly lead to problems later. I explain simple maintenance procedures they can do to help take care of their new home, and I will also show where the shutoffs are, in case of emergency. It's surprising how many homeowners don't know how to shut water, gas or electric off in an emergency. I want my clients to "know their home" and be prepared.
As your El Paso home inspector, I want to ensure that you understand every item on the home inspection report. My job does not end after the report is delivered. Should you have any questions down the road, please give me a call at (915) 490-3160 or email (FYIProperty@yahoo.com) us and I will try to answer those questions.
Buying a brand new house?
If you're buying a brand new house in or around El Paso and think you don't need a home inspection, consider some of the issues I have discovered in new and, often, custom built homes:
holes left in roofs
broken roof trusses
improperly wired outlets
no insulation in the attic
leaks under sinks
cracks in bathtubs/showers
foundation problems
Be wary of the home inspector that will be done in 1-2 hours!
