I honestly enjoy when the buyers family shows up for our home inspection, especially the fathers and grandfathers. Interestingly, before the inspection is over we will be the best of friends on they will depart in embarrassment about how little they actually know about home related issues.

Book your home inspection and bring your family, especially your parents and grandparents. ”The Old Man” is likely much older and will enjoy the company

A couple months ago I advised that I had drastically cut our inspection fees. I just booked an inspection, and radon test, on a home I previously inspected, and did a radon test, in 2014. The total fee for 2026 was less than I charged in 2014. Imagine that!!! Check out our improved fees by booking your next home inspection on our website

An unusual event occurred overnight. In 30 minutes, just before midnight, our top referring agent booked her 223rd inspection with us. As if that wasn’t enough she booked three back to back on consecutive days and she is also listing agent on two of them. Make of that information what you will and consider booking your next inspection with us to grasp why that happened. It is possible that choice could drastically change your real estate experience as it has hers. We are not your typical home inspection company and haven’t been for our 28 years in this business. We place our clients best interest ahead of ours and the Realtors who refer us. Imagine that!!!

I am asked often what it’s like starting back doing field inspections following years of our team members doing them and multiple members on a large inspection such as I tackled alone this week. Honestly, starting out at 76 years old, it was exhausting but thankfully improved over these two months which helped on this one. This week was the ultimate test on a 180,000 SF industrial plant including 30 foot up a building attached ladder to the roof. Can you even image how big that is? I priced it based on the time I imagined it would require with me working alone. I figured 6 days total. It required exactly 6 days. Damn I am good, after 28 years of this. Three days on site, two long evenings and three days on four reports. Those reports included 366 total pages, 738 entries and 916 photos. WOW I am exhausted just typing those numbers. This one is behind me and I am confident I can not only handle more but handle drastically larger provided adequate time. Honestly, I enjoyed every minute of it. It is great to be back in the game.

Letter, many find very interesting, which is included in every home and commercial inspection report delivered from Black Cat Inspection Services, LLC and Chris D Hilton and Associates Home/Building Inspections prior to that. Interesting fact about this letter. I formerly received many calls with questions about our inspection reports. Most were brought about by lack of proper perspective. On including this letter, for the most part, those calls ended. Imagine that. Includes an awesome photo of a handsome devil at no additional charge. You should see his Realtor bride of 37 years.
