Certified Home Inspector ● Bozeman’s Only ICC Certified Building Inspector
Most people in the process of buying a home or commercial building recognize the value of obtaining an inspection prior to purchase. But to spite warnings from experts, 75% of all buyers allow their realtors to choose and set up the inspection. In today's real estate environment, it has never been more important for you to take an active roll in choosing your home inspector. Unfortunately, few realtors base their selection on inspector’s credentials, background or past performance but rather predictability or the good ole boy policy. API is not a member of the "Good ole' boy network” nor do we participate in 'pay-to-play' or any other referral programs, that are considered a conflict of interest. Our referrals come from conscientious agents and satisfied clients who realize the importance of a truly thorough inspection. We will never sugar coat the condition of any deficiencies or compromise your inspection to get realtor referrals. You won't find a local inspector with better credentials, background or track record to protect your family or investment.
If I fail to report an issue, I'll have it repaired!
"NO ONE ELSE MAKES THIS OFFER"
"Don't be mislead into thinking all inspectors are alike". The truth is, home inspections are a second occupation for most, coming from totally unrelated occupations. Most inspectors have no actual working knowledge of acceptable construction principals or the systems which make buildings operate. My 35+ years hands on construction experience, building inspections and willingness go the extra mile is the key to identifying issues others can easily miss. We systematically review over 900 components of every property and supply the necessary information you need before you buy.
Sellers disclosure statements are not required by Montana law. Only a few sellers take the time to fill one out and the information is often incomplete and unreliable. 40% of items found during an inspection are obvious issues which should be on the disclosure document. 30% are issues that developed over time from improper maintenance or neglect. 30% are items the seller was not made aware of, by their inspector, when they purchased the home. API fully inspects physical condition, structural integrity, all mechanical systems and life safety concerns of every home & building. I will spend as much time as needed to ensure everything is properly inspected and documented.
Our Reports Exceed AHSI / NAHI / NACHI Standards.
API supplies the information you need to fully understand the condition of your future property, No surprises!! We inspect over 900 different components of every home. Many inspection reports are full of disclaimers, exclusions and contradictory comments which may leave you confused. We report what we see and use a computer generated reporting system with digital photos to clarify any issues found. Since many clients are unable to attend the inspection, we also document and include all system controls.
Using price as a deciding factor when choosing a home inspector is not a good idea if you expect experience and accountability. Our 30+ years construction experience, combined with over 4500+ home & building inspections will provide you maximum protection.

API Certified Radon Screening & (Radon Links)
There are only 4 home inspectors in the Bozeman area certified to screen for radon. Hiring an inspector who has not taken the time or effort to become certified may produce false results. They obviously are not taking radon seriously and you certainly can not rely on their test results if they follow the EPA testing procedures.
Montana has no regulations governing Home Inspection certification or licensing. In short anyone can become a home inspector, That is why experience counts! All documentation and qualifications are available for review at time of inspection.
