Introduction

We are a home inspection, radon testing, indoor air quality and mold testing and thermal imaging company servicing southeastern WI called Inspect The Best WI (Reg # 3324-106). As a Certified Master Inspector my goal is to help you prepare your home for sale or to assist you in making the decision to purchase a house. We offer InterNACHI's Buy Back program. Instead of a few dollars of warranty coverage, if I miss anything during your inspection, InterNACHI will buy the entire house back from you for the price you paid for it! That's a tough warranty to beat. As part of our home inspection process and no cost to our clients, we inventory the home's appliances and run them through a recall check system to see if any recall have been issued for those appliances. If there has been a recall notice on any of those appliances you will be contacted to set up an appointment to have those items fixed. The appliances will then be registered so in the event a recall should happen while you own the appliance, you would be notified. To set us apart we use a FLIR thermal imaging camera to pinpoint problem areas before they are visible and more costly to repair. Let us use our training, building science knowledge and FLIR IR camera to help evaluate and look for issues.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Our pricing is based off of the size of your home. Our rates start at $375 for a home less than 1,00 square feet.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Our typical process is to meet with or speak with a customer and obtain the basic contact information and a few details about the home. We then discuss what they are looking for in an inspector and the inspection process. The inspection is then completed and the report is returned to the customer. We are always available to answer any questions the customer may have before, during and after the inspection is completed.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I hold Home Inspector license #3324-106 with the State of WI and am also a Certified Residential Thermographer. My inspector training was done through ATI Home Inspector Institute and I have since become a Certified Master Inspector with InterNACHI. My professional background is diverse in business and the construction trades. I have over 20 years of work experience in various business roles with my largest experiences being in energy efficiency/weatherization programs as well as previously owning my own handyman business in southeastern WI. I hold a bachelor’s degree in advertising and public relations from the University of WI – Oshkosh.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Over the years I have moved several times. I understand buying and selling a house can be a stressful time for those involved. At Inspect The Best WI, I will do my best to remove some of the stress involved in the process. My goal is to provide our customers with the information that will help them determine if the house they are considering purchasing is the right house for them to make a home.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We are open to working with all customer and all sizes and styles of homes.

A typical inspection takes 2-3 hours. You will receive your inspection report within 24 hours of completing the onsite inspection. Thermal imaging is done during the inspection and included in the inspection report. Radon testing is a 48 hour test.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Make sure the inspector is licensed by the state of Wisconsin, follows a Standard of Practice and Code of Ethics and also is insured.
