ABOUT THE COMPANY:
American Inspection has been in business in Southern California since 1974. It has always been a family-run company. We strive to maintain the highest possible integrity and consistency with our inspections. We are able to meet this goal with over 25 years of data in our computer system.

MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE:
We're so convinced that you'll be please with the integrity and knowledge we offer you during the inspection, that we offer an unconditional money-back guarantee.

Our "Unconditional Guarantee" states that you will receive a full refund for up to 30 days after the inspection if you are not completely satisfied with the quality of inspection we offer.

THE INSPECTORS:
Joseph and Amy O'Donnell are both graduates of Inspection Training Associates and are required to maintain continuing education credits each year. They are thoroughly familiar with both the theoretical and practical aspects of building construction analysis.

When discussing problems Joseph and Amy will offer solutions and maintenance suggestions. You will receive the needed information that will give you greater confidence in negotiations.

Because they do not perform any of the work they recommend nor receive referral fees, you can be assured that our recommendations are unbiased and objective.


INSPECTION REPORT OPTIONS:

Both of our reports feature our 50-Point Inspection. Our reports come in two formats.

PLATINUM NARRATIVE REPORT:
This industry-leading report is 25-30 pages and includes pictures of the interior, exterior and problem areas. We are one of the few firms in the country to offer pictures with the report. Each section of the report is summarized at the end so you can clearly and concisely know the condition of the structure. The Platinum Narrative Report takes two working days to prepare.

GOLD NARRATIVE REPORT:
Our computer-generated, on-site report includes the 50-Point Inspection. This report also presents our findings in an easy-to-understand manner. Our summary pages condense the areas of concern in an easy-to-read format. This report is delivered at the time of the inspection, which enables the transaction to progress in a timely manner.
