Welcome to D.A.D. Home Inspections
My name is David Delzeith and I am the owner and operator of D.A.D. Home Inspections.
Thank you for choosing D.A.D. Home Inspections to serve your home inspection needs.  
Buying a home is probably one of the biggest investments you are going to make in your
lifetime.  Everyone knows that home ownership is the American dream.  That dream can
quickly become a nightmare, however, for uninformed buyers.  Even newly constructed
homes can harbor costly mistakes that may not be visible to the untrained eye.
The training I have completed to become a certified home inspector, along with my 20+
years of experience in construction, allows me to provide you with an accurate and
detailed inspection report.  I am a member of the National Association of Certified Home
Inspectors (NACHI).  My thorough home inspection takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete,
unlike some inspectors who take only 2 hours or less just looking around.
I encourage you to follow along with me during the inspection process, where safety
permits, so that I may point out and help educate you on specific areas of interest.  After
your home inspection is complete and you have read over your report, I will answer any
questions you may have.  My services do not end when your receive your report.

Inspectors
D.A.D. Home Inspections is independently owned and operated, not a big franchise.  I
am impartial and work only for you.  My job is to provide you with a comprehensive, fair,
independent, objective evaluation so that you can understand and take care of your
valuable investment.  Your interests are my interests before, during, and after the
inspection.
The inspection provides an invaluable learning and discovery experience during which
your questions can be answered on the spot.  You will gain insight into maintenance
and energy conservation tailored specifically to your home.  I wholeheartedly
encourage your to accompany me during the inspection.  In addition, all of my clients
are offered free telephone consultation after the inspection.
Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult.  Unlike most professionals, you
probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me.  Furthermore, different
inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and
yes, different pricing.  One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot
of work.  Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's
own effort.  If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee
that I will give you my very best effort.  This I promise you.

What Really Matters
Imperfections.  These are nice to know about.  However, the issues that really matter
will fall into four categories:

1.  Major defects.  An example of this would be a structural failure.
2.  Things that lead to major defects.  A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3.  Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.
4.  Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.

Anything in these categories should be addressed.  Often a serious problem can be
corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2
and 4).
Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during
an inspection.  Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything
mentioned in the report.  No home is perfect.  Keep things in perspective.  Do not kill
your deal over things that do not matter.  It is inappropriate to demand that a seller
address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure of
nit-picky items.
