Great West Inspection Residential Inspections
Great West Inspection was founded by Jim Metcalf in May of 1995. His mission is to educate his clients about home safety, building techniques and any other concerns prior to the purchase of the property. Mr. Metcalf always encourages and invites prospective customers to participate in the inspection process. Mr. Metcalf's company has performed over 12,000 home inspections.
When comparing inspection companies here are four things that make Great West
the smartest choice for you!
# 1 We check for potential safety issues that other companies simply omit from their reports. Re-called items and safety devices that may or not be installed. In recent years, there have been recalls on a number of appliances and electrical components, which include some smoke detection devices,
gas and electrical ovens,
gas ventilation, furnaces and so on.
# 2 We utilize Infrared Technology during the inspection when needed and are certified. Many inspectors advertise that they have a infrared camera but are not certified to use infrared and may misread or improperly diagnose what they see. Infrared processing is simular to reading an MRI. "Delta T"
must be properly achieved in order for proper sampling.....See our Infrared Page.
# 3 Ninety five percent of our reports are completed and emailed to our customers within 24-48 hours, other companies may take more than two days to send out the report upon completion.
# 4 We work for you. If you can attend the inspection we walk you through the details of the report so that you have a clear understanding of the status of the property. We realize that it is not always possible to be at your home inspection, that is why we designed our Narrative/Checklist report. This report will walk you through a step by step checklist of the various components inside and outside of the house from top to bottom. Plus we welcome all follow up emails or phone calls. All of Our Inspections meet or exceed ASHII and CREIA Standards.
