Don't know if you can afford a Home Inspection...can you afford not to?

Buying a new home may be the biggest investment you'll ever make. Although the process is very exciting, it quickly becomes overwhelming. While the home you have selected may appear to be just what you're looking for, how can you be sure there aren't potentially serious unknown defects which can make your investment in your future a costly one. Having your new home professionally inspected by RL Blackburn as early as possible in the buying process, can save you thousands of dollars on items which you may be able to have the seller or builder correct.

Why hire RL Blackburn?

"R.L. Blackburn, Home Inspector, is also an active custom and speculative Home Builder in Winston Salem, NC and Piedmont/Triad region of North Carolina. Through his years of experience as a Home Builder, he is fully qualified to spot code infractions of bad workmanship, defective or sub-standard building products, and faulty engineered components so widely used in the industry today that are often accidently missed by the County code enforcement."

Actually being on his own jobsites daily and knowing the building process from start to finish, gives him an overwhelming edge over the quantity, profit-driven schemes of an inexperienced, internet franchise, home inspection business. Most of these guys are NOT home builders and do NOT know construction. They are, simply put, "home critics", at best.

R.L. adds, "I was shocked at the number of Home Inspectors who only obtained a license in General Contracting, to get their Home Inspection license but have

NEVER built a single home! They wouldn't know where to start if given the chance.

They know very little about the construction process or building standards and are out in the field inspecting your homes.

These guys are simply faking it at your expense! So many lawsuits have recently been filed because of Home Inspector error and ommissions,

the NC Home Inspector Licensure Board are now faced with having to take drastic measures to change the qualification requirements for a license in home inspection.

Because of ignorance and lack of construction experience.

The fact is, no matter how stringent new laws may seem to be, inexperienced inspectors will make it through the loopholes and be "grandfathered in" just because they are already doing business. It is in this same manner that early home inspectors, who now boast of "low digit" license numbers, were "granfathered in" back when they had been conducting home inspections when a license wasn't even required by the state to inspect a home. When the law came into being requiring that license, these inspectors were allowed to continue and granted a license number! The "low digits" are now charging more than the rest because they want you to believe they know more based on a "low digit" license number! They have never actually built a home; they just critique real builders.

As a Licensed Home Inspector AND Licensed Home Builder, R.L. Blackburn offers you a true alternative to these companies. R.L. Blackburn is a PRIVATE home inspection business, NOT an Internet home inspection franchise! Service rates are generally less because there are no franchise commissions added to the percentage.

"I love the construction field; it's my livelyhood. I've been in the business long enough to recognize the "BULL" the inexperienced inspectors are selling. They are simply NOT giving you the service you think you're getting," R.L. Blackburn.

AGAIN, most Home Inspectors have never built a home ~ never built a home. WHY would you trust someone to inspect your home who has absolutely NO experience in construction? This is a "no-brainer!"

Do a simple internet search on Google. You'll find one the quickest most profitable,
new start up business is...you guessed it ~ a Home Inspecting FRANCHISE!
It is sadly one of the biggest reasons this area is swamped with amatuer home inspectors that have
absolutely no clue and just trying out their new "get-rich-quick" scheme on Y-O-U.

Help me stop the BULL...

RL Blackburn concludes, "I'm not telling you how to spend your money, thats your business. I'm here to tell you there is an undeniable problem in the business, you most likely had no idea about the seriousness of... until now. Now you know. Do the research you'll see my words are completely true.

I call my inspections the "NO-BULL" Home Inspection because I'm tired of these assembly line inspectors giving the construction business a bad name, writing reports and giving opinions about something they know little to nothing about.
I'm not going to shoot you a report with useless UN-qualified opinions. I'm not in this to waste your time or mine. My job is to tell you exactly what I find, nothing more nothing less and then it's your responsibility to make the final call."

"I promise you, the buyer, a REAL professional home inspection and accurate information you will need, to make an informed decision, before your purchase."
