Whether you need a home inspection, commercial building inspected, or need to take care of termites and pests, trust the professionals at Inspector USA/1-877-INSPECT. As a licensed and certified home inspector and pest control specialist, I have the training, experience, and resources to assure expert quality on every job. I am fully licensed by the Kentucky Board of Home Inspectors (#HI-2003) and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (LPCO #14402). Offering professional home inspection and pest management services in Lexington, Nicholasville, Georgetown, Versailles, Winchester, Mount Sterling, Richmond, Paris, Lawrenceburg, Frankfort and surrounding areas of Central Kentucky for nearly 30 years I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience that cannot be learned in a class or from books. Call InspectorUSA/1-877-INSPECT today and put that knowledge and experience to work for you. 
As a professional home inspector I offer quality home inspection services to homebuyers, home sellers and homeowners across the Central Kentucky area. For homebuyers, buying a home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Like any investment, you will want to know as much information about your purchase as possible. After all, owning a home is the “American Dream” and it is important that you make a confident purchasing decision. We would like to help you with that effort. Are you selling your home? Let an me inspect it before you even list it. A Move-In Certified™ home has been pre-inspected, which means that the seller can confirm that 
there are no major systems in need of immediate repair or replacement, and no known safety hazards. A Move-In Certified™ Seller Inspection informs you of any defects or problems with your home so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them. You can then take the time you need to obtain reasonable repair estimates. Show prospective buyers that you are dealing in good faith. Avoid 11th-hour negotiations and delays, and justify your full asking price by having your home pre-inspected now. 
For homeowners I offer my extensive experience to help you keep your home in optimum condition. Once a year usually in the fall and winter months consider letting me evaluate your home and help you discover any deferred maintenance and other potential issues before they become problems.
As a licensed and certified home inspector I have been trained to inspect all major elements of the property and provide a qualified opinion on the present condition, operation and function. You will be given a comprehensive report and descriptive overview of the condition of the home’s components from roof to basement; as well as some value added services listed below all designed to provide you with as much information and protection as is possible. Check out the website and be sure to take a look at our services, the custom report and the frequently asked questions. Then give us a call to book your inspection. You won’t be disappointed…..and that’s a promise from me personally, Michael Green.

Jim says:
“We’ve been doing a great job for over 5,000 happy home owners in the Greater Seattle Bellevue Metropolitan Area for almost 15 years now. If you have been to our website, you’ve read what some of those folks have to say about our service and follow up resources. Before I got into the home inspection business, I remodeled and managed properties for more than twenty five years.
Very few inspectors in Greater Seattle have that kind of experience – experience that we put to work for you at your home inspection. We can communicate in English, Chinese, Filipino, and Spanish with our reporting WE WORK FOR YOU!
Not the Realtor or the Seller, or the lender, or anyone else. Most of all, we have a genuine interest in seeing that our Clients are given our clearest and most honest opinions about the conditions in the home they are considering. We’ll tell you what we see. We’ll talk to you about how important anything might be, and we’ll discuss what your options are. We are a full-service inspection company, and we are out to do you a great job.”

When you find the “Right House”, the last thing you need is to end up closing on the money pit. What you do need is the peace of mind knowing that even though your house is not perfect (no house is), you are educated about what you are getting. Buying a home can be full of tough choices. One thing that should not do is to buy a house blindly. You need an inspector who is looking out for you. Shopping for an inspector by the cost of the inspection can produce a very painful lesson. Think what would happen if you hire the wrong inspector. What happens if the inspector is not experienced or is just interested in how fast they can get paid and move onto the next inspection? You’ll be stuck with the costs to fix anything they miss.
It doesn’t matter! Either way, you will learn a lot about your home during the inspection. Plus, you will receive a free manual on “How To Operate Your Home” as my gift to you! This useful manual is over 350 pages long and includes more than 400 pictures.
Do not make a huge mistake and hire the wrong inspector, one who misses items that cost you dearly. Before you hire an inspector, request my report Seven Things You Must Know To Avoid Hiring The Wrong Home Inspector. Don’t gamble – know before you hire your inspector! Get your free report now! My goal is to make the Home Inspection process easy and to educate you about the house you’re buying.
