Being an engineering company, we study your house, methodically searching for clues, and putting them together to form an evaluation of your house.
Our inspection meets the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice. These standards outline what a Home Inspection must cover.
Also, some people may try to promote their business by claiming years of experience in a single field. The profession of Home Inspecting is a very diverse area of work. Since most contractors hire other people to do much of the skilled trade work such as electrical, plumbing, and heating, they are often not experienced enough to properly inspect your home.
A professional Home Inspector has specialized diagnostic techniques to locate deficiencies and failures. Many times we have had to return to a house to show the "professionals" in a particular field where the problem is. For example, we have had to show the heating contractors where the failure in the hot air furnace is. They may be able to "install a heating system blindfolded," but may not have the specialized diagnostic techniques to find failures.
Finally, a good Home Inspector knows extensive diagnostic techniques and deductive reasoning he/she uses to find problems. All Finn & Associates Home Inspectors meet these qualifications.

The Home Facts Handbook
The Home Facts Handbook is a manual that we print and distribute. It is best used as a reference when you're looking for something in particular, but can be read straight through. We have a copy of the handbook available for reading online so just click on the image of the house below or choose a specific topic in the index. If you want a hard copy of the handbook, remind the inspector during your home inspection and you will receive one free of charge.
