Buying a house and want to fully determine and understand its condition?  Maybe the seller is offering the house “as is”, but you still want to know what “as is” is?  Maybe it is a newly built house, but does it still need to be inspected?  Are you having problems with your house and want an un-biased evaluation of the problem and its cause?  Water intrusion into your new condominium?  Or do you just want to find out what that continuing problem is?  What about finding out about that flooding basement.  What about making your house more energy efficient?

We can help.

We offer a complete range of home inspection services:

If you have any questions about home inspections or how to pick a professional home inspector, even if you don’t hire us, please give us a call.  No charge.  First, and foremost, we are here to help.

Consider the fact that hiring a Home Inspector is unlike any other type of service.  You, really, never actually even meet your inspector until after you have already retained his services.  How do make sure that you are making the best choice?  How do you know you can trust your inspector?

At Decker Home Services, we believe that we do it right.  Here’s why:

  • We are a family company, not a big franchise.  You get personal service and are treated like family.
  • Home inspections are all we do.  We don’t repair or fix homes, we just inspect them.  We have no conflict of interest (although we can recommend various contractors who we know, personally.)
  • We employ Certfied Master Inspectors, the highest professional designation in the industry.
  • We do not work for the Realtor or Sales Agents, only for the client.  Some Realtors will recommend ‘easy’ inspectors, who won’t lose them their commission.  We are not ‘easy’.  We are thorough and complete, without being ‘nit-picky’.  We work, only, for you.  Our job is to, fully, educate you about the condition of the property.
  • We provide personal service and you are always able to talk, directly, to the owner if you have any questions or concerns.
  • We pride ourselves on our services, not just during the inspection, but for as long as you own your new home.  Almost 20% of our time is spent just answering questions and serving our clients after the inspection, at no additional cost.
  • We use the latest techniques, the newest tools (including thermal imaging for all inspections, at no additional charge) and write a complete, custom, narrative report, including color pictures and diagrams, so you are clear about any issues.
  • We have a long list of satisfied customers and work hard to keep it that way.

Your home is more than just an investment, it is where your family will grow, learn and laugh together, for many years to come.  It is where your family will LIVE!  You want your new home, above all, to be safe.  Secondarily, but just as important, we want your new house to retain its value for years to come.  We strive to educate you about your new home.

Having your new home completely inspected by a thorough and professional home inspector can save you thousands of dollars and years of aggravation.

In short, we care, now and will continue to be there, for you, in the long run.

We are also full members of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI), state licensed, fully insured, certified, legally bonded and we have over 20 years experience in home construction, maintenance, remodeling, repair and property management.  We are ‘house geeks’.

Why trust yourself to those old ‘legacy’ inspectors, who do quickie inspections, use only a “screwdriver and a flashlight”, provide only cheap ‘checklist’ inspection reports and are gone?

We are professionals who do complete inspections (average 2 – 4 hours), use the latest technology, answer all your questions, address all your concerns, produce full color, narrative reports, include free pre-closing walk-through verification inspections and provide perpetual free phone consultation for ANY reason, after the inspection.

Why should you settle for anyone but the best?
