A-Pro The Best Fort Worth Home Inspectors services:

Home Buyers Inspection (Pre-Purchase Home Inspection)

A standard pre-purchase home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building, much like a physical exam that your doctor may perform on you. However, it should be clearly understood that a home inspection is not to be confused with an appraisal, warranty evaluation, building code inspection, a guarantee of any kind, and/or an insurance policy on the condition of the property. A-Pro provides industry-leading 500-point Pre-Purchase Fort Worth Home inspection, including a free foundation-level survey ($250 value). Call A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors today for all your inspection needs.

Home Seller Inspection (Pre-Listing Inspection)

The Home Seller Inspection, sometimes called a pre-listing inspection is a very intelligent but often underused selling tool for a prospective home seller. Getting the home inspection done before placing a home under contract or even on the market allows the current owner to exhibit transparency in a future transaction, thus potentially speeding up the selling process and eliminating last-minute deal points that could kill the sell. A major benefit of a Home Seller Inspection is any repairs needed can by systematically and efficiently taken care of without the pressure of a pending deadline. The actions of the A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors in this type of inspection mimic that of a Home Buyers Inspection, except that the report is delivered to the seller. Want to shorten the days on the market that your property stays on the market? Call A-Pro Home Inspection Fort Worth, TX and order a Pre-Listing Inspection and get us working for you today.

New Home Warranty Expiration Inspection

A-Pro offers new home warranty inspections to detect notable defects before your one-year builder’s home warranty expires. A-Pro Home Inspections will meticulously document and report visual defects within your new home that may be covered under your builder’s home warranty to maximize your home warranty coverage. The Home Warranty Inspection report will give you the leverage you need to obtain the repairs necessary before your builder’s warranty expires on your new home. This could be your last chance to correct installation deficiencies common with new home systems and component failures. We highly recommend scheduling your home warranty inspection with us at the beginning of the 11^th month. This will give you the time you need to coordinate and discuss our expert hardbound report with your new home warranty provider. Waiting until the last minute can force new homeowners into a disadvantaged negotiating position with the home warranty provider. Regrettably, some home warranty providers charge high premiums for their warranties but are less enthusiastic about paying claims. Call A-Pro Home Inspection Fort Worth,TX, today before your new home warranty expires, leaving you with safety and performance-related deficiencies that should have been corrected.

Maintenance Home Inspections

The Maintenance Home Inspection is a service offered to existing homeowners to help protect what, to most of us, is our most significant investment. This is one of the most comprehensive inspections we do since we can work with the homeowner to gain access to areas that are not available during a visual-only inspection. The Maintenance Home Inspection aims to detect potential system failures or other issues within a home to allow the homeowner to make informed and prioritized repairs while hopefully avoiding major home cost surprises. We recommend Maintenance Home Inspections at a minimum every three years. We have found that many clients hire us to inspect elderly parents’ homes, rent properties, and vacation homes. Take control of your home repair budget and improve your ability to communicate with contractors by hiring A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors to conduct a Maintenance Home Inspection.

FHA Home Inspection

The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) Home Inspection is our standard industry leading Home Inspection but formatted to meet the requirements of our clients that are utilizing an FHA loan. FHA loans provide an option for home ownership to borrowers who may not qualify with other lenders and often allow lower down payments and interest rates. An FHA-insured mortgage can be used to purchase a new or existing home. The FHA strongly recommends a home inspection as part of the loan process. As the FHA is a Federal program, the reporting requirements on Home Inspections supersede those of any state-mandated reporting requirements. Ensure your loan process is not slowed down due to the Home Inspection expectations and that your investment is protected by calling A-Pro Home Inspection Fort Worth, TX, today to conduct your FHA Home Inspection.

HUD Inspection

There are specific forms associated with HUD homes and their inspections. A HUD home is a property acquired by HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) as a result of a foreclosure action on an FHA-insured mortgage. HUD becomes the property owner, offers it for sale, and then sells it at market value as quickly as possible. HUD properties are sold as-is with no warranty, and no repairs should be performed on a property until after the new owner has taken possession. It is critical when purchasing a home sold by HUD to get an A-Pro Home Inspection in Fort Worth, TX, as soon as possible for several reasons: (1) The inspection may uncover a condition that makes the buyer choose to walk away from the deal and just forfeit the earnest money. A foreclosure is highly likely to have had maintenance ignored and the home neglected or even abused. (2) The home is vacant, and the time to actual closing is often extended in a HUD transaction, any new damage occurring before closing has a realistic chance of being covered by HUD if well documented.

HUD 203(k) program

The 203(k) program was created in the early 60s to obtain the funds needed to complete repairs and refinance or purchase a home. The program’s complexity prevented it from being used effectively until the mid-90s when consultants were first introduced to the field. Many of our A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors are certified consultants and can help you navigate this complex process. Protect your investment call A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors today.

New Home Construction Phase Inspection Program

The building of a home is critical at every step. Having an ITI® Certified building inspector present is also critical at each step of this process. While most contractors are very good at what they do, it is imperative to have another set of eyes to verify the decisions that they have to make and the execution. The A-Pro New Construction Phase Inspections Program consists of three (3) inspections for the home buyer. For all new construction phase inspections, it is important to get an idea from the builder of a date when they anticipate the building will be ready for each phase of the inspection. As soon as the date is given, notify us immediately.

PHASE I – Foundation The foundation inspection is one of the most important and difficult to schedule. Builders can quickly get ahead of schedule or fall behind the initial schedule due to weather among other problems. We recommend that the home buyer constantly check with the builder about progress.

Concrete Slab – This phase of the inspection is done after the exterior foundation walls are finished and the plumbing rough-ins are installed; however, it is done before the concrete slab is poured.
Basement – In this phase of the inspection we come out after the forms (walls) are poured and before they backfill. It is extremely important that this inspection is done BEFORE they backfill.
Crawl Space – A Crawl Space is simply a basement that you cannot stand up in. This phase of the inspection is done after the foundation is poured but before backfilling and framing begin.

PHASE II – PRE-Drywall This phase of the inspection involves inspecting the electrical, plumbing, heat, and framing. We usually inspect this one to three days before the contractor hangs the drywall. Note: All other inspections above must be performed before this phase.

PHASE III – FINAL Home Inspection

This phase of the inspection is done after the building process is finished. This is when the buyer has a walk-thru inspection with the builder about a week or so before the closing of the home takes place. We need to come out 1 to 3 days before this walk-thru. At this time, we perform a complete 500-point comprehensive home inspection with pictures of any problems so the client still has time to address any issues with the builder before closing takes place. At this time we can also schedule additional services (i.e., foundation-level survey, radon testing, etc.).
This phase of the inspection involves inspecting the electrical, plumbing, heat, and framing. We usually inspect this one to three days before the contractor hangs the drywall. Note: All other inspections above must be performed before this phase.

Final Walk Thru Home Inspection

Having A-Pro Walk Thru Inspection Fort Worth Fort Worth Home Inspection on your side during the final walk thru Inspection is a wise decision. A final walk-through is executed a few hours to five days before closing. It is not a home inspection, nor is it a time to begin negotiating repairs. The primary purpose of the final walk thru inspection is to make sure that the property is in the agreed-upon condition you agreed to buy it in. (agreed-upon repairs/improvements, if any, were made satisfactory) Many clients re-hire us to conduct the walk thru after our initial home inspection when there were changes, repairs or improvements negotiated to come to a purchase agreement.

Home Repair Verification Inspection

We work for remote landlords as well as adult children of elderly parents who live independently to ensure our clients get everything that was agreed upon before making a final payment to a contractor.

Roof Damage Inspection

Have you ever wondered if the insurance company’s inspector sends out (or doesn’t) to inspect a roof after a storm involving high winds or hail is working for you or the insurance company? A-Pro Inspectors who are certified to inspect roof damage work for you. For a fair and balanced assessment of the damage to your roof, call A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors today and make sure you have a professional.

Lead Paint Inspection

The use of Lead Paint in homes was eliminated in 1978. If your home was built prior to 1978, getting an inspection specifically to detect lead paint could be advisable, but it is critical before you do any home improvement projects that require even mild demolition. Many of our A-Pro locations are certified in lead paint inspection. The health implications associated with lead paint are profound; the toxins from lead paint are most dangerous when the paint is disturbed and the dust particles infused with lead come into contact with people. Children and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant are the most susceptible to the adverse effects associated with high lead exposure.

Carbon Monoxide Testing and Inspection

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas, and all fuel (gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or coal) burning appliances have the potential to produce CO to some degree due to incomplete combustion. Appliances (including fireplaces) that are not installed, maintained and used properly run the risk of causing CO accumulation at dangerous levels. Extreme CO exposure can cause death. Considering that the gas is colorless and odorless, proper detection is vital. Your A-Pro Inspector can test for carbon monoxide in the home and the appliances and fixtures that may be causing a dangerous level. Your A-Pro Inspector will also advise you on the proper detectors, the recommended locations, and the maintenance for offending appliances.

Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Report aka Termite Inspection

There are many types of Wood Destroying Insects but termites are the most common and cause the most damage. A WDI Inspection is often referred to as a Termite Inspection, which is when all wood-destroying insects are inspected. Whether you’re buying, selling, or refinancing your home, there is a high probability that you will need a (WDI) Wood Destroying Insect report. WDI reports provide evidence of possible infestation by wood-destroying insects or damage caused by them that is visible and accessible at the time of inspection. In addition to identifying possible infestations and previous treatment, a WDI report will alert a lender or buyer of potential problems within the home. Termites are slow eaters, so if a termite infestation is discovered, it is usually not a panic situation. Treatment is effective and can be handled quickly without causing additional problems. In nearly all states, a State Agency provides oversight of WDI Inspection and Treatment, and in all cases, this inspection is outside the scope of a traditional Home Inspection. Your A-Pro Inspector can consult you on your options and often provide the WDI Inspection. Protect your investment call A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors today.

Foundation Inspection

All Home Inspections include a visual foundation inspection as a minimum requirement. At A-Pro, we understand that a home’s foundation condition ranks very high with our clients relative to concerns about a property. We go over and beyond to inspect the foundation. The A-Pro Inspection includes a foundation-level survey ($250.00 value) for every standard home inspection. Protect your investment call A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors today.

Pool and Spa Inspection

This is not to say that Pool and Spa Inspections are not necessary, they are. A pool and/or spa are often vital to that dream home. When mechanical, chemical, and especially safety issues surface with a pool or spa, the dream can become a nightmare compounded with liability. Protect yourself and ask your A-Pro Inspector for a Pool and Spa Inspection.

Mold Inspection

Certain mold spores can lead to respiratory disease, allergic reactions, and other health issues. All mold and the conditions for mold growth (Moisture) can compromise the home’s structure.

Radon Inspection It may surprise you that Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and that nearly all homes have some level of Radon in them. Radon is an odorless and colorless gas that emits as radioactive uranium breaks down in soil, water, or rocks. Radon enters a home in many ways such as through cracks in slabs, wall joints, and water supply. An elevated amount of Radon in a home is a health hazard. The standard Fort Worth Home Inspection does not include Radon testing. The EPA has recommended that every home be tested for Radon and that if the test comes back at an exceeded level fix the home. The good news is that repairing a home to normal Radon levels is not usually a high-cost proposition. If you need A-Pro’s help in testing for Radon and/or reading the results please call on us for assistance. Protect your investment call A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors today.

Thermal Imaging Inspection

Thermal Imaging Inspections are not included in a standard home inspection. Many people like to think about a home inspection as compared to a doctor’s visit. A standard home inspection compares to a physical inspection performed by a doctor when he does a thorough visual check on you. A Thermal Imaging Inspection compares to going in for an MRI. A thermal imaging inspection is performed with an infrared camera. The Inspection can provide home buyers, sellers, or homeowners with a wealth of information such as:

Structural defects caused by wood destroying inspects
Energy and heat loss
Moisture penetration and or leaks
problems with electrical wiring overheating
And much more

Make sure that your investment is protected by calling A-Pro Fort Worth Home Inspectors today.

Structural Inspection

A standard home inspection includes many elements of a structural inspection but is not as in-depth as a stand-alone Structural Inspection. During a structural inspection, the A-Pro inspector will be looking for and reporting only on the foundation and supporting elements of a home, investigating a variety of distress indications that may result in repair or further evaluation recommendations. If you notice a problem such as a sagging roof, bowing walls, or cracking foundation,n or your home has been subject to severe storm damage, flooding, or fire, call your A-Pro Inspector for a Structural Inspection.

A commercial property is defined as the building structures and improvements located on a parcel of commercial real estate. These may include structures such as buildings with residential units operated for profit, mixed-use buildings, strip malls, motels, factories, storage facilities, restaurants and office buildings. A commercial inspection requires the inspector to make observations, conduct research, and report findings. A-Pro will conduct Commercial Inspections for you. The A-Pro Inspector will collect information through visual observation during a walk-through survey as well as conduct research about the property including key components and reports relative to the property. A-Pro Home Inspection Fort Worth TX will then generate a meaningful report about the condition of the property based on the observations made and research conducted.
