I often conduct re-inspections following suggested repairs. Recent re-inspections have ranged between $2500 to up to $7000 in repairs. In these cases, these repairs were paid for by the seller.

When you secure a high quality inspection, you are getting thousands in value beyond the inspection fee. Not to mention the peace of mind from moving into your new home with no repairs waiting for you.

Don't skimp on your inspection...call Mississippi's Best.

Another reason why you should always have a home inspection!

Sara Weaver and her husband knew their newest home purchase in Pennsylvania needed some extra love and attention -- but what they didn't know is that an estimated 450,000 bees had been living in the walls for almost 35 years.

When your inspector points out rotted fascia boards and soffits, it's not just a cosmetic issue. Rotted wood on outside of the house can hide rot and damage to the framing members as well, as in the rafter tails shown below. A home inspection can help you identify these important maintenance items before they become more serious. Call us today!

The metal support above a door or window is called a lintel. When it rusts, it expands and can crack the brick around it. Keeping these lintels painted is an important and simple home maintenance step.

I frequently hear from prospective clients who have purchased a house and moved in without a home inspection...only to find problems later.

A home inspection BEFORE you by is much more valuable and can frequently save you thousands of dollars in repair costs by negotiating those repairs with your seller. Avoid regrets--get a home inspection when you buy!

Yes, it's a messy job. But when the dust (and fiberglass) settles, you'll enjoy a fatter bank account and more comfortable indoor temps year-round.

One of my clients was looking at an off-market investment property in Jackson. A week after I sent the report, I reached out to him in a follow up to see if he had any questions. I had identified some flood damage and several other significant problems with property that would require extensive repairs. Here's what he wrote:

"If I pick up any more properties around there I'll definitely hit you up. Great inspection report and a good price, too. I appreciate you! I would have gotten myself in a sticky situation if you hadn't gone out there."

ALWAYS get an inspection. Let us find what you can't see!
