Many inspectors use check boxes and auto "canned" comments to complete reports faster. Everett takes time to write narratives specific to the home. Investing a few extra hours in writing a detailed and comprehensive report helps our clients make better-informed home-buying decisions. When it comes to home inspections, faster doesn't mean better.

A Pristine Inspection averages 3 to 4 hours. Everett has found it essential to have what he calls "dwell time" at a property. Some defects may take time to discover. For instance, moisture from a small leak around a toilet flange in an upstairs bathroom may take over an hour to migrate into the ceiling below, where it will show up on a thermal scan.

Most real estate agents have very high ethical standards. However, some agents will seek to control the home-buying process by recommending only one inspector. How did these recommended inspectors “qualify” to get on the “approved” list of the agent? Is the agent recommending a thorough, unbiased inspector, or is the agent recommending someone with whom they have a "working relationship" so they can improve their odds of making a commission? Ideally, agents should provide you with a list of more than one inspector. If an agent discourages you from using an inspector of your choosing or insists that you use one of their “approved” inspectors, you should contact the State Real Estate Commission.

All licensed home inspectors in Kentucky are required to follow standards of practice authorized by the Kentucky Board of Home Inspectors. Pristine adheres to the Standard of Practice published by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI). These standards call for an inspection of the roof, exterior, basement, foundation, crawlspace, structure, heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, fireplace, attic, insulation, ventilation, doors, windows, and interior. Pristine utilizes thermography and drones to acquire additional information on the structure. Our reports also include additional information, such as models, serial numbers, and manufacturers' dates, for major components like furnaces and water heaters.
