Kansas City, Missouri property inspections are not made the same.
That’s why we put together this set of the best 10 reasons Bulldog Professional Inspection Services has been a reliable home inspector in Kansas City, Missouri, since 2003.
#1 Your home will always be inspected by the owner.
Our motto: Get It Right The First Time.
So, when you contact Bulldog Professional Inspection Services, you'll never have an amateur, trainee, or part-time employee show up to your home inspection and greet you.
#2 Our full home inspection checks more than 2000 items in the average home.
In 2008, we designed our MaxInspect™ home inspection process. A set of best practices refined to address the most typical issues homebuyers and real estate investors face with traditional home inspections:
"How did my house inspector overlook this [fill in the blank]?"
Professional home inspections are as much art as science. Perfecting the skill takes years of practice, which is why they are not made equal.
Here are the 3 components to our MaxInspect™ Process:
A 100% Inspection
This may seem like a surprise, but a %LINK% is NOT required to inspect all the things in a home.
In reality, they only have to examine a selected number of items. In the average-sized home, this usually amounts to roughly 400 items.
But Bulldog Professional Inspection Services inspects 100% of the items we can see, touch, and test during a home inspection.
This totals about 2,000 items and includes every outlet, switch, door, window, floor, wall, ceiling, tub, shower, faucet, toilet – and everything from the roof peak to the sump pump.
But being hands-on also means we know HOW to check the things in your home that break, crack, click, buzz, arc, and leak because turning them on and off sometimes isn’t enough.
At times, the pattern of things reveals problems that less skilled home inspectors would have missed.
We do this to offer you a complete understanding of what’s working and what’s not. Unlike some home inspection companies that rush through sections, our goal is to do it right the first time and give you the facts you need to make wise decisions about your house.
So, whether you’re buying or selling your Kansas City MO. house, you’ll get a home inspection that prioritizes depth, accuracy, and clarity.
Mystery Glitch Technique
A strange glitch is an electrical anomaly that makes you scratch your head. For example, a button in one room operates a fan in another, or a wobbly wall plug that starts the ceiling fan when you use it.
We know houses well enough to spot and uncover these bothersome gremlins ahead of time, so you won’t be grumbling under your breath after you settle in.
Gravity Flow Process
Everybody knows gravity is a constant force that presses us down and tries to grind us into dust.
But we use this to our advantage by letting it help us find and track the damage caused by leaks and structural shifting.
Starting from the roof of the home, we move our way down to the foundation. Along the way, we track the signs left behind until we spot the source, cause, or reason it stops, or it goes into a place we can’t reach.
Then we’ll share with you what’s happening, how worried you should be, where we couldn’t find it, how far it went, whether we can spot damage to other areas, if there are signs of past fixes, and what we recommend.
All to reveal the full picture so you know what to expect.
