A Quality Inspection doesn’t Cost, it Pays!

Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Evergreen Property Inspectors provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by ASHI, one of the leading home inspector societies, and the Illinois Standards of Practice for properties in Illinois. We are your St. Louis ASHI Certified Inspector team and you can find the ASHI Certified Inspector list by following this link to the national ASHI site which has the most updated information.

After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.

Home Maintenance Review and Homeowner Education for Care of Systems

If you are new to home ownership, or, do not have the time to perform a little maintenance throughout the year, we can help!

Clients love our home maintenance review and home care education service. These visits take 60-90 minutes depending on the size of the home and how many questions you have. We review the major systems of the home, provide you with a home maintenance list, and we will answer any of your questions on the simple things you can do to keep your home healthy and cozy throughout the seasons. Clients take our report and create their own honey-do list, or, they send this off to a handyperson company with the confidence that the list was created by an unbiased third party.

A little maintenance each year saves thousands of dollars down the line as you catch small things before they become expensive. At only $250, our Home Maintenance Review is an investment with a great return!
