I Educate My Clients
Buying a home can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers. That’s why I believe a quality home inspection should be about more than just delivering a report, it should help you understand the home you’re buying.
Throughout the inspection, I take the time to explain how the home’s major systems function, discuss any concerns in clear and approachable language, and answer your questions along the way. I also provide practical guidance on home maintenance and energy efficiency to help you protect your investment and avoid unnecessary issues down the road.
At DeBoer Home Inspection, my goal is to provide the knowledge and confidence you need to make informed decisions about your home.
How It Works
I'll show you how your home's systems operate so you can manage them effectively.
How to Maintain It
Learn practical tips to prevent costly repairs and keep your home in solid condition.
How to Save Energy
I'll provide straightforward ways to improve efficiency, like optimizing your HVAC and insulation.
Services
I offer a wide range of inspection services to better serve my clients and provide added peace of mind throughout the home-buying process. From comprehensive home inspections to specialized services such as Well Inspection & flow rate testing and WETT inspections, my goal is to provide thorough, professional, and reliable information you can trust.
Qualifications
I bring extensive training, industry certifications, and hands-on experience to every inspection. I am a Certified Master Inspector® (CMI®), a designation awarded to experienced inspectors who have completed advanced education and demonstrated a commitment to professionalism within the industry. I am also WETT Certified for the inspection of wood-burning systems and Infrared Certified, allowing me to utilize thermal imaging technology.
Sample Reports
Your inspection report should be clear, thorough, and easy to understand. My reports include detailed descriptions, high-quality photos & videos, and organized summaries of the home’s systems and components so you can clearly understand the property’s condition and any recommended concerns or maintenance items.
