We focus primarily on home inspections in Frisco and Plano areas, although we work throughout Texas. This experience – combined with the latest in high tech testing equipment – enables us to give homebuyers and sellers important information regarding the soundness and value of their properties. From multi-million-dollar mansions to efficiency condos, we know what to look for to find major discrepancies or potential problems.
Inspecting Homes in Northeast Dallas
In addition to Frisco, our work includes Dallas, Plano, Fairview, Prosper and McKinney home inspections. Our business has grown with the rapid expansion of these areas. Advanced Inspection Service conducts real estate inspections throughout the Dallas area, especially the northeast suburbs.
In this highly competitive market, buyers need to be prepared to make attractive offers to gain an edge over other house or condo seekers. This means having pre-approved financing lined up – and getting the dwelling inspected promptly. Our inspection reports give clients the info they need to make buy/no buy decisions, and negotiate a better deal with the seller.
Professional House and Condo Inspections
These days, a lot of AIS work involves evaluating new construction. The past five years have really been boom times for McKinney and Frisco home builders. Unfortunately, some people buying new houses or condos do not think to get a pre-acceptance inspection. While most builders are honest and competent, Advanced Inspection Service finds quite a bit of shoddy construction practices in new housing. The pressure to get the building done on a tight schedule can lead to corner cutting and sloppy work. And a lot of this is covered up by sheetrock and paneling. Only a highly-trained professional home inspector can detect and analyze these potential issues.
A thorough inspection is even more important for older structures. Building codes and construction practices have advanced significantly in the past 50 years. So we need to examine these properties closely to ensure code compliance, soundness and meeting prospective owners’ expectations for livability. But we see a lot of historic homes that have been updated and well-maintained; and these often pass with flying colors.
Founded in 1983 by home inspection industry legend Ed Martin, AIS has pioneered in applying advanced computer and structural analysis tools to the real estate inspection process.
