We appreciate your interest in our company. Advantage Inspection
Service, Inc. was established as an Arizona home inspection company
in 1988 with a commitment
to providing timely, accurate, and highly professional home inspection
services. Since then, our inspectors have performed tens of thousands
of re-sale
home inspections, numerous commercial/apartment complexes, new homes,
and luxury properties in the Phoenix Arizona metropolitan area. Our
home inspectors are engaged in continuous education to keep up with
local trends and
construction methods.
From the date a structure is completed, it progresses through a process
of continuous deterioration. Mistakes made during initial construction
become significant as a structure advances in age. Initial construction
quality and owner maintenance procedures are reflected in the overall
condition of the re-sale property. Most re-sale buildings have defects
related to major components such as the electrical, roof, and plumbing
systems. The Advantage Home Inspection Service inspector is able to
inspect the home with knowledge of common system failure rates
and emphasis
on major defects. We know how to identify the high cost and safety
related defects.
The process of building a structure is a complex
endeavor involving many specialized trades and materials. The general
contractor oversees
all activities while placing trust in the individual sub-contractors
for day-to-day oversight. It may seem that with the various levels
of supervision, including code inspections, mistakes during construction
are non-existent. This is not the case. As long as humans are involved
in the construction process there will be defects in every house. Individual
workers and sub-contractors come and go creating potential for significant
errors. Code inspectors are overworked. Some tradesmen are under-skilled
and others just don't care about the quality of the finished product.
The Advantage Inspection Service inspector works for the buyer to identify
defects needing builder repair prior to closing or prior to expiration
of warranty. Don't buy a new home without us.
Unlike the code
inspector, an Advantage Inspection Service inspector will view the
structure as a composite of inter-related systems, and
determine where problems exist or are likely to occur. Standards of
the professional inspector are as specified by the American Society
of Home
Inspectors (ASHI®). The President of Advantage Inspection Service
is a past President of the Arizona Chapter of ASHI and served on the
Board of Directors for ASHI National. Feel free to call with any scope
or ASHI related questions.
We want our customers
to have peace of mind. Advantage Inspection Service carries comprehensive
errors & omissions and general liability coverage.
Realtors and brokers that recommend our company are included within
our policy as an additional insured.
Every property purchased, either new or re-sale, represents a very
significant investment. Having an independent home inspection performed
is the intelligent
thing to do.
