Ever heard the saying, "You get what you pay for"? This is especially true when it comes to a home inspection. Going with the cheapest inspector might save you a couple of hundred bucks now, but it could cost you thousands in the long run.

My dad once told me, "If you get the better tool, the only time you'll regret it is the day you buy it. But if you get the cheaper tool, you'll regret it every time you use it." That saying stuck with me and became a core value of Main Inspections.

We believe in using the best tools for the job, which is why we consistently invest in the latest technology. This telescoping moisture meter, for instance, made it a breeze to find a leak in the ceiling of a spiral staircase—a spot most inspectors would have missed.

At Main Inspections we don't just inspect your home; we give you peace of mind. We promise to provide a thorough inspection with the right tools to get the job done.

When is it a safe time to waive your home inspection?

A: New Construction

B: Purchasing from a relative

C: Always. Save that $800 for those $30,000 repairs that would have been found during inspection.

D: Never

Yeah, you guessed it - NEVER.

This $1.3 million new construction had a significant leak from the master bathroom onto to the kitchen ceiling. Sure the builder would have fixed it due to warranty, but who wants to move into a brand new home only to be displaced later due to remediation?

Flippers are going to flip. Some do it well, some do not. A lot of times those that don’t do it well are trying to cut corners to save time and money. There were a lot of head scratchers in 2024, but our very last inspection of the year gave us the:

“Laziest Deficiency of 2024”

When two neighbors needed an 11-month warranty inspection, but wanted to schedule at the same time, you make it work.

One thing we hear a lot from clients, and even some agents, is that they don’t think they need a sewer scope because the house is new, or the line has been replaced.

While the risk is much lower with a new home or a recent replacement/repair there can still be issues.

Yesterday we found two breaks in a brand new line. This scope was done for two investors that care about quality, so even though they just replaced the line on one of their rebuilds, they wanted to make sure the family that buys their home wasn’t going to get stuck with unexpected repairs later.
