Home Inspection
All inspections meet or exceed the standards of practice established by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). Boardman Home Inspection performs educational inspections, as you walk through the inspection with David, a professional ASHI certified home inspector, you will receive valuable information regarding the operation and maintenance of your home as well as have the opportunity to ask and have questions answered. Home inspections are non-evasive. This means the inspector will not destroy anything or do major dis-assembly of any home system. However, access panels and doors are routinely uncovered. A home inspection will include all visible components of the home in a easy to read custom report with digital pictures. We receive comments on the quality and detail of the inspection reports.

Pre-Sale Inspections
A pre-sale inspection is an opportunity for a seller to find hidden problems with their home before a buyer's inspector finds them. Fixing problems on your own schedule or just knowing the true condition of your home before placing your house for sale will help you in the sales process without the last minute findings that can slow or even prevent a sale.
Maintenance Inspection, Senior Inspection
A maintenance inspection is similar to a pre-sale inspection. In today's modern nothing-ever-stops society, many people just don't get around to properly maintaining their homes. A maintenance inspection helps home owners locate and react to potential problems with their homes in a timely manor.
Seniors can especially appreciate having a maintenance inspection to find out the true condition of their home protecting them from unnecessary repairs. David Shevel has police clearance identification insuring you complete peace of mind while in your home.
