PLEASE, IT'S TIME TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
The Inspection and Testing! 
What is a quality inspection? A lot of people, including Builders and individuals who claim to have building experience, think they know how to perform an inspection and give advice. This couldn't be further from the truth. Home Inspecting requires a totally different point of view and set of skills! It also requires formal training!
I'm often asked, "I just want a basic inspection, what do you charge?" It seems they just want to get it over with at the lowest price they can find. In my opinion, if you are thinking this way you are making a big mistake!
Home inspecting is hard work and requires concentration. Trust me, your Home Inspector is the most important person you will hire! Realtors will show you houses in an effort to earn huge commissions! In comparison, quality minded home inspectors put a lot of time and effort into looking at 1000's of elements in each home with far greater risk for a very small fee!
Most people don't realize that all inspection companies are NOT the same. Some do better work than others, just like any business. All Inspection reports are NOT the same. Some companies use the old Check List type reports with limited capability. Others use narrative type reports that read like a novel. AppleWood uses computerized reports and the latest technology.
AppleWood's report was built around a software backbone that allows us to conform to each home's unique characteristics. No other report is as unique! Why? Because it was developed by AppleWood for AppleWood Clients only!
So it's important to take the time to look over this website and take advantage of all the information I've put together for your benefit.
Our Water packages? You may, in fact, be paying more with another company. The key is what we provide and what you get for your money! This is meant for Your Protection! Before you buy optional testing services from other companies, take the time to know what elements are in the test package you will be paying for!
I highly recommend testing for Radon Air & drinking Water Quality! Learn more about them on this website!
We at AppleWood have years of experience; we use the latest equipment; follow nationally approved standards of practice; use the latest technology; spend more time at the inspection site and make a greater effort so nothing is missed! Isn't that what you would want as a Buyer? Sure it is!
The average home requires 3 to 5 hours, depending on age, size and condition to truly do a thorough job! Less than that is risky! What could go wrong?
So, Stop!
Take A Moment to think about the value of your investment!
Don’t call around for a cheaper inspection! Chances are you won’t save anything! It may even cost you later. Look for high quality services!
The Inspection is the most important part of buying a home! Put in the time and effort it deserves!
I highly recommend you test for Radon & Water Quality! Protect your family!
Remember, you’ll be investing hundreds of thousands of dollars! Why risk it and end up owning a house you don't want?
We at AppleWood Home Inspection earn our fees many times over. We do more; we provide more and We Represent You Only, NOT the Real Estate Agent or Seller! We are Independant and NOT a Franchise which Benefits You!
Good Luck!
If you call, I will gladly answer your questions.

Ron Racine - Owner/Inspector
