It examines the overall health of the structure and the condition of key components and systems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Criterium-McWilliam Engineers home inspections are performed by a State of Nevada Master Inspector.<\/strong> Nevada regulates home inspectors through its three-tiered Inspectors of Structures program \u2013 Residential, General, &amp; Master. Our inspector David Taylor is a Master Inspector; each of our other engineers is a Residential Inspector. With a Master Inspector on staff, we are able to inspect buildings larger than 10,000 square feet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Criterium-McWilliam Engineers home inspections are thorough and detailed<\/strong>.\u00a0 We scrutinize homes inside and out to identify significant problems and to note necessary repairs in structural components and major systems.\u00a0 We look specifically for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Structural weakness and deterioration<\/li>\n<li>Evidence of water damage<\/li>\n<li>The condition of the roof and the foundation<\/li>\n<li>Signs of insect damage<\/li>\n<li>The condition of major systems \u2013 heating and cooling, plumbing and electrical<\/li>\n<li>The adequacy of the ventilation<\/li>\n<li>Life and safety issues: Does the home have working fire and smoke detectors? Are stairways, stair railings, decks and patios safe? Does the home have risks for very young occupants or very old ones?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This thorough evaluation is as essential for a new home as for an older one.\u00a0 Just because a home is newly constructed doesn\u2019t mean it was constructed properly, with appropriate attention to detail and in compliance with good construction practices.\u00a0 Our licensed, Professional Engineers have inspected tens of thousands of homes, new and old.\u00a0 They know where to look and what to look for.\u00a0 They recognize quality construction and they can identify construction shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Criterium-McWilliam Engineers home inspections are educational.\u00a0 <\/strong>We focus on the information buyers need to make an informed decision and avoid post-purchase surprises.\u00a0 We distinguish between minor problems of which buyers should be aware, and major ones that might affect their purchase decision or their budgeting plans.\u00a0 Our goal is to educate, not to alarm.\u00a0 We view the inspection as a \u2018teachable moment\u201d for buyers \u2013 probably the only opportunity most will have to explore their home top to bottom with an expert who can show them where important features (the electrical panel and the water shut-off valve, for example) are located, explain how things work, and answer their questions.\u00a0 We encourage buyers to ask questions, either during the inspection or after.\u00a0 \u00a0The written inspection report we produce includes a detailed description of our home inspection findings and a maintenance plan outlining maintenance requirements for the home, estimating the life expectancy of major components, and projecting major repairs and upgrades buyers should anticipate during the first 5 \u2013 10 years of ownership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Criterium-McWilliam Engineers home inspections are reviewed by licensed, Professional Engineers.\u00a0 <\/strong>This is an important point. Many home inspectors are neither licensed nor insured.\u00a0\u00a0 Many states do not license home inspectors.\u00a0 Inspectors typically face no consequences for deficient work and have no insurance to cover damages resulting from errors they make. Criterium-McWilliam\u2019s licensed, Professional Engineers are not only highly experienced, educated and well-trained, they are accountable for their work, they are fully insured, and they subscribe to the highest professional and ethical standards.<\/p>\n<p>If you are buying a home, <a href=\"http:\/\/criteriumwebhosting.net\/Criterium-McWilliam\/contact\/\"><strong>contact <\/strong><\/a>Criterium-McWilliam Engineers for the comprehensive, reliable, professional pre-purchase home inspection you need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Vegas, Henderson and Southern Nevada Home Inspections There was a time not all that long ago when the standard advice for consumers was:\u00a0 \u201cBuyer Beware.\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019ve always considered \u201cBuyer Be Prepared\u201d a much better strategy, and a Criterium-McWilliam Engineers home inspection is designed for precisely that purpose:\u00a0 To prepare buyers for a home purchase&#8230;. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/criteriumwebhosting.net\/criterium-mcwilliam\/residential\/home-inspections\/\" title=\"Read Home Inspections\">READ MORE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":133,"parent":14,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Criterium McWilliams\u2019 home inspection services provide every homeowner with a home inspection report and maintenance plan.
