Favorite Book:  The Happy Home Inspector by Wally Conway

At Certainty Home Inspections we, as home inspectors, serve the Louisville Kentucky and Southern Indiana area. Our mission is to provide all of our client’s with a quality home inspection at an affordable price, giving them the best home inspection experience the market has to offer.

When purchasing a home inspection, you need to make your decision with Certainty on the biggest investment of your life time. Certainty’s owners teach other home inspectors nationwide on how to grow, manage & run their business and are experienced well beyond their competitor’s.

We perform each home inspection as if we we’re buying the home for one of our own family members. We are a family owned home inspection company that has been serving the Scott, Jackson, Floyd, Clark, Harrison, Washington, Orange and Crawford counties in Indiana and Jefferson county in Kentucky for almost 10 years. We are the largest home inspection company in the Kentuckiana area offering home inspections, mold inspections, radon testing, termite inspections and commercial inspections.

We have no conflict of interest with Certainty, we inspect for termites but don’t treat for them. We inspect for mold but don’t remediate for mold and we test for radon but don’t mitigate for radon so with Certainty you get our honest, unbiased opinion of the condition of your new home.

We provide you with a full staff home inspection company with six licensed home inspectors to provide you the highest quality home inspection. Unlike other home inspection companies who aren’t as thorough as Certainty’s home inspectors, we have no need for multiple warranties here, we do our job and do it right the first time. Don’t be fooled by warranties that never pay on claims, instead use the home inspection company you know you can trust!

Favorite Book:  The E-Myth

 

Philippe Heller created The Real Estate Inspection Company after experiencing a really bad inspection. The goal was to build a new type of inspection company. His experience includes a technical background working for world class companies such as GE Power Systems, Cox Cable, and Time Warner Cable.

The Real Estate Inspection Company is different. We have a staffed office to answer the phone and help clients. We have 7 inspectors, so we can accommodate YOUR schedule. We have a website that allows you to book an appointment, similar to an airline reservation, quickly, easily, day or night. And we have the resources to provide the best inspection equipment available. 

Each inspector shows up with the latest high-tech equipment to thoroughly inspect a house for health and safety items. This includes Carbon Monoxide detectors, microwave detectors, electronic moisture meters, and Infrared Thermal Imaging cameras. 

As the company reaches its 10th year in business, we are branching out to South Riverside and South Orange County. Along with that growth, we are modifying our name to The Real Estate Inspection Co. We are bringing our high level of inspections to Fallbrook, Temecula, Murrieta, and San Clemente areas.

Call us to experience a whole new level of service.

Specialties: Home inspection, thermal Imaging, leak detection.

The members should recognize such a standard, not in passive observance, but as a set of dynamic principles guiding their conduct. It is their duty to practice the profession according to this code of ethics.As the keystone of professional conduct is integrity, the Members will discharge their duties with fidelity to the public, their clients, and with fairness and impartiality to all. They should uphold the honor and dignity of their profession and avoid association with any enterprise of questionable character, or apparent conflict of interest.

  1. The member will express an opinion only when it is based on practical experience and honest conviction.
  2. The member will always act in good faith toward each client.
  3. The member will not disclose any information concerning the results of the inspection without the approval of the clients or their representatives.

He or she will report all such relevant information, including violations of this Code by other members, to the Association for possible remedial action.
