The following is what the buyer wrote on Angie's list about the inspection in the above video.
 
"Richard Hyland of CHIEF HOME INSPECTIONS performed a home inspection on a residential property I was in the process of purchasing.  Since Florida has a problem with toxic drywall imported from China, Mr. Hyland carefully checked the house for any signs of such.
 
I telephoned CHIEF HOME INSPECTIONS and spoke with Mr. Richard Hyland who answered all of my questions in detail and provided me with the appointment date and time I was seeking.  He stated that the home inspection would last four hours, which impressed me because the past home inspections I had witnessed were much shorter.  Mr. Hyland sent me an email confirming our appointment and providing me with documentation outlining what would take place during the home inspection.  On the day of the home inspection, Mr. Hyland was very punctual and immediately answered any questions or concerns I had about the house.  Mr. Hyland took his time and pointed out and photographed every defect/damage that could be reasonably observed.  He also explained the best way to have the defects/damage repaired and whether a professional would be required.  Throughout the home inspection process I found Mr. Hyland to be extremely professional, detailed, informative, and personable.  The day after the home inspection I received from Mr. Hyland a very professional and detailed home inspection report (including photographs).  A great example of Mr. Hyland's professionalism is that a few days after the home inspection took place he was willing to speak with a HVAC contractor (hired by the seller of the house) regarding the fact that the AC was not working as effectively as it should have.  The HVAC contractor was attempting to say that the AC was working "good enough and within normal parameters."  We called Mr. Hyland to speak to this HVAC contractor over the phone because we thought it was better for two professionals to talk it over.  After speaking with Mr. Hyland, the HVAC contractor's attitude changed regarding the AC and long story short a repair was completed and now my AC works much more efficiently.  I believe the fact that Mr. Hyland was willing to speak/argue with the HVAC contractor despite the fact that he had completed his job and had no obligation to help me further speaks volumes as to Mr. Hyland's dedication to his profession and his clients.  I will use CHIEF HOME INSPECTIONS for all my future home inspection needs and I would recommend all Angie's List members to use this company as well."

Chief Home Inspections BBB Business Review
 
New and older homes all have issues
The most important thing to you is your family. You want to make a good investment decision, but your family's safety is first. That may be why you are looking for a Master Certified Home Inspector®. It does not make any difference if you are buying a new home under construction or an older homes; either will have issues that you need to know about before purchasing your home. The more information you have about the home the more confidence you will have about your decision.

Do not be pressured.
You may like the home very much and feel pressure to move along with the deal. This is normal; most people feel the same way when they find a home they really like. At this time it is easy not to see things that are important and costly issues with the home. Some issues might be obvious but most are missed.


3 to 5 hours for an inspection.
My home inspection process follows the states of Florida Standard of Practice for Inspectors. I believe that a good home inspection takes time - so that is why I don't do quickies. I will conduct your home inspection as if I were inspecting it for a member of our own family. It may take approximately 3 hours to inspect a 1000 square foot home and 5 hours for a 4000 square foot home.


Inspection report within 24 hours.
Upon completion of the home inspection you will receive the inspection report within 24 hours.  We will email you the report including any pictures taken.


Free second-opinion.
As an added benefit of having Chief Home Inspections® inspect your home, we provide FREE phone second-opinion consultations toward a solution about any problem that may arise in your home. 

As a service to you, we are available 7 days a week.
