“Something that stuck out in my mind was Steve getting on the roof…”

“I don’t have many friends buying houses right now, but when they do, I will refer.

Something that stuck out in my mind was Steve getting on the roof and trying hard to make it to the other side.”

– D. Meeks, Overland Park, KS.

“…made things easy to understand for someone who doesn’t know much about home repairs…”

“Steve was very thorough in answering all of our questions.

Also made things easy to understand for someone who doesn’t know much about home repairs, etc.

It’s nice to have everything in one place.

We’ll definitely reference it in the future for maintaining our home.

Steve was very personable and knowledgeable and it was such a relief to hear that the old house was in such great condition!”

“…the best home inspection I have been through.”

“Steve did a wonderful job getting the inspection report to me very quickly (in fact, I had it within the same day of my inspection, which was fabulous!!)

I would refer Bulldog home inspection to ANYONE and EVERYONE.

He was very friendly and it was the best home inspection I have been through.

The thing that stuck out in my mind was when the radon was forgotten to be done and Steve went back for me and took care of it.

That was AMESOME!

Most inspectors always make the homeowner show up no matter what!

I am my own agent so the only thing I can think of is that I wasn’t aware that home inspectors did not need any type of certification which is going to be very helpful to me when trying to refer out inspectors to future buyers/sellers.”

– M. Herrera, Overland Park, KS.

S. Garman
S. Garman

“Steve, if it was not for you, I would be dealing with a major roof replacement…”

“I was extremely impressed with your professionalism & knowledge.

Steve if it was not for you, I would be dealing with a major roof replacement (at my own cost) as well as some possible foundations issues which are being addressed at this time as well.

I have saved thousands of dollars at this time regardless if I buy the house or not.

You can bet that I’ll refer Bulldog Professional Inspection Services.

Don’t forget about the snake skin! he he he – Thanks again.”

– S. Garman, Merriam, KS.

“Steve spoke in lay terms, making is easy for me to make my decision with confidence.”

“I was very pleased in the manner the report was presented.

The report was delivered within the timeframe established between the realtors.

Steve was very professional and knowledgeable.

Steve was very clear in his explanations and I am proceeding with the purchase of this home based on this inspection report.

I would refer Bulldog Professional Inspection Services because Steve spoke in lay terms, making is easy for me to make my decision with confidence.

Sitting down together after the inspection and going over key points made the experience memorable and was very helpful!”

– A. Keena, Olathe, KS.

“…Steve answered all our questions.”

“Steve was very knowledgeable about building codes and ideas for bringing things up to code.

What sticks out in my mind is the professionalism and wealth of information Steve has.

As any good inspector, he provided much more information than I needed to make the purchase, and the right amount to allow me to feel comfortable with creating a scope of work and a budget.

I will refer you to any friends in that area, as well as use you again for future purchases.”

– G. Meola, RE Investor, Edwards, CO.

K. Twenter

“…I have to walk away from this house”

“Your inspection was very helpful!

After looking at the issues with the house, and the lack of flexibility of the seller, I have to walk away from this house.

Although I loved the house, the issues that the seller would not fix let me walk away knowing that I did the right thing because if I would have dealt with all these issues myself it would cost me a lot of money!”

– K. Twenter, Lenexa, KS.

That is really impressive and comforting!

Steve showed up the first time to do the inspection and we were in the middle of a crisis (flooded kitchen!!) He put off the inspection until we got the situation solved and made sure that as soon as we were ready, he was available!

Even though he wasn’t doing the inspection the first time, he still took a look at the water damage and took pictures.

He did not have to do any of that and I was incredibly grateful that he did! “

– R. Osborn, Harrisonville, MO.

The whole process gave me much more confidence in my decision throughout the purchase process for my home! “

The turn around time for the report was excellent and I don’t even recall past inspections, but I learned a lot and one thing that sticks in my mind was learning about the deck. Thanks!”

5 Things To Know Before Your Liberty Home Inspection

Steve looking at a house thinking about the 5 things you should know

A Liberty home inspection is not always the most straightforward part of the home buying process.

So, it’s pretty common for a little mystery and confusion to creep in as you’re shopping around.

This can bring up questions like…

  • Why Are the prices so different?
  • Can I be there?
  • What happens if something gets missed?

Let’s clear the smoke.

#1 Home Inspectors Cannot See Through Walls

#1 - Home inspectors cannot see through walls

You might have hopes for x-ray vision to help me see inside walls, under floors, above ceilings, and behind storage items.

I’d want me to have that, too, if I were you.

Because it’s the things we can’t see that scare us.

In fact, if I could choose a superpower, X-ray vision would be my second choice.

Talk about cornering the market.  No other home inspector would stand a chance (even with an IR camera).

Unfortunately, it’s not possible.

Fortunately, our 14,000+ inspections go us to where we can spot inconsistencies and hidden issues like an eagle spots a field mouse. 

Plus, all of our home inspections are guaranteed.

#2 Good Home Inspections Are Not Cheap

#2 - A good home inspector is not cheap

Because home inspections are NOT created equal.

Since 2003, I’ve personally inspected over 14,000 homes. I’ve also spent that time improving my home inspection service to avoid the same mistakes other home inspectors make.

That’s why we’re better this year than we were last year.

Or the year before. Or the year before that.

But we’re NOT JUST experienced or obsessed with improvement.

#1 – WE’RE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER HOME INSPECTION COMPANIES

Not for the sake of being different. Think ‘better’.

For example, most home inspection companies check around 400 items.

Our MaxInspect™ System, not only helps us check 100% of the items we can see, touch, and access (about 2000 in the average home), we’ve also created a process that uses gravity to help us track structural cracks and water damage to their source so we can understand the full impact these issues have on the home.

But we do more. We also know WHERE, WHEN, AND HOW to find Mystery Glitches™. These are the annoying electrical mishaps you usually find AFTER you move in that happen when someone somewhere wasn’t paying attention and did it wrong.

And we can’t forget about all the invisible missing items throughout a home that should be there but aren’t. Don’t worry, we’ll find them.

These details give you maximum clarity, maximum leverage, and maximum confidence during negotiations and after you move in.

#2 – WE BREAK IT DOWN LIKE MY MOM IS LISTENING (LOVE YOU, MOM!)

I’m talking about a 69-year old San Francisco hippie who saw the Rolling Stones play at the Altamont Speedway in 1969.

That’s why we developed the 10Key™ Comment Method for explaining defects. These are the same questions we ask ourselves and the same questions EVERY report MUST answer if you REALLY want to understand what’s happening to your home.

But we aren’t just detailed, we also explain our findings and write our reports on a 5th-grade level. Not because we don’t think you’ll understand. It’s because things are easier when they’re simple.

You get the information you need – when you need it – quickly and simply and delivered the same day.

Very few home inspectors have the experience or skill to do this.

And no one else does because it’s not taught. That’s why most people THINK home inspectors are all the same. And MOST are.

But that’s not how Bulldog does it. We imagined better and knew we could do better, so we did.

No matter who sees your report or when – it will be just as clear in 10 years as it is today.

#3 – OUR SERVICE

Alot of home buying homework happens at night so we’ll always respond to your emails and messages AFTER normal working hours.

We’ll also give you a quick follow-up call after your home inspection to make sure you got the report without any problem, answer any last-minute questions, and make sure you’re happy with our service.

#3 Home Inspectors Are Not Psychic

#3 - Home inspectors are not psychic

Unfortunately, I can’t predict the future.

And as much as I want to, it’s not possible (this superpower would be my first choice).

I’ll never be able to tell you if something will break, leak, or crack in the next hour let alone the next week, month, or year.

I wish I could, but I can’t.  No one can.

I can only see what’s happening now and use the past to anticipate future problems.

That’s why it’s imperative for all the utilities to be on in a vacant home BEFORE your home inspection.

Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom.

Because we have tons of experience and take your home inspection very seriously.

So, if something pops up or falls through the cracks, we’ll work together to find a solution.

#4 Even The Best Home Inspector Is Not Perfect

#4 - Even the best home inspector is not perfect

This shouldn’t be a surprise.

Shoot, professional baseball players make millions and only get it right 25% of the time. 

Sometimes I run late and sometimes things get overlooked, information gets misunderstood, and people get upset.

But I’m proud to report I’ve paid my dues many times over:

In fact,

Q: What do you get when you cross a new home inspector with a garage door opener and a 12-pack of soda?”

A:  Red faced, a big sticky mess, and broken garage door opener.(4)

And those are the types of mistakes you’ve gotta survive to become great at something.

But I do not take them lightly.

So, if something is my fault, I’ll take responsibility and work toward a fair solution. 

Avoid home inspectors who sounds too good to be true or don’t embrace mistakes because you don’t want to be on the receiving end when it happens.

#5 Please Let Us Know If There’s A Problem

#5 - If there's a problem, please let us know first

There’s NOTHING worse than learning about a problem through a bad review – or another person.

Because it doesn’t give us a chance to make it right.

You see, NO MATTER how experienced the home inspector, how thorough the home inspection, how careful they are, or how clear they explain things, something will EVENTUALLY go wrong.

There are just too many distractions, limitations, obstructions, and other variables during a three-hour home inspection that keep it from going perfectly EVERY time.

So, if something goes wrong after your home inspection, don’t forget that your home inspector is only human and did the best they could while they were there.
