Keeping Things in Perspective

All homes have problems. The question is what and how serious are the problems. At Matzdorf Inspection Services, we know the difference between serious and "not so serious" problems and will communicate the difference to you. In the event of a more serious Home under constructionissue, we'll let you know when to call in an expert and will fully brief them on our concerns.

We are sensitive to the emotions present during a property transaction and know that the timely delivery of the message is as important as its content. When discussing problems, we will offer solutions and maintenance suggestions. We offer valuable information giving you greater confidence in negotiations.


Home Inspection Note

The majority of home inspections are visual and conducted in accessible spaces. They are non-destructive in nature with little disassembly of equipment. All systems are tested in normal operating modes, in the same manner they'd be used on a daily basis. Due to the unknown nature of equipment, inspectors are unable to predict the expected life of any system.
