About Us

Thank you in advance for considering Truestar.

We start at the roof and evaluate not only the roof surface, but also the chimney, the ventilation system, the electrical service entrance, the plumbing stack, and any other systems or components located on the roof.

Our next step is to inspect the exterior of the home. We use a macro and micro approach to look at both the big picture and all the details.

We then move inside the house, and starting at the bottom, work our way up through the home into the attic. While inside, we address such things as the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the electrical and plumbing systems, the interior finishes, the insulation and ventilation, and accessories such as fireplaces.

Our evaluation is then communicated through a detailed inspection report, which includes descriptions of all the systems in the home, as well as any recommended improvements. This will help you prioritize the improvements and develop a blueprint for your future in the home.

Best of all, our services don't end with the inspection. For as long as you own the home, you can call with any additional questions - at no extra charge!

Having integrity and being approachable, honest and thorough are the hallmarks of a good inspector. My inspections take longer than most because I sit with the house/home to get the feel of the place and the flow of the layout. The house tells you something about it and most assuredly if the seller is home they can tell you concerns as well if you word the questions appropriately. And speaking of appropriate wording,I am a professional engineer and I was in international sales for 30 years prior to becoming a Licensed Home Inspector. I know all too well how the wrong wording can drive fear into the buyer's mind. And so, I watch my words without over-stating or under-stating the issues that I inevitably find during the course of my inspection. To Alison and Adam's point, we are not experts in all aspects of home construction and as such will "recommend further evaluation" by a licensed tradesman to ensure not only safety but protection from liability for both realtor and inspector. Oftentimes, the "expert opinion" dispells any concerns the client may have. Thanks again for your insights, as usual I learned something more today.
