Stearns Home Inspections performs a personalized and valuable inspection for a prospective real estate buyer, seller or investment property owners. A professional home inspector will provide a home inspection utilizing the accepted standards and practices to accurately report the visual condition of the physical components and structures of the home. Stearns Home Inspections does not judge or evaluate a home for cost or value but does report objectively, in writing the specific condition of the home's condition and the subsequent physical systems involved.Our home inspections provide an independent, unbiased review and report on a home's systems, components and their condition. Consumers and real estate professionals should expect no less than full professionalism, education, and competence with credentials, knowledge, and courtesy. A detailed home inspection usually takes two to three hours or longer, depending on the home's age and square footage. We recommend that you be present at your home inspection so that you can ask Richard (Rick) any questions about areas needing maintenance or repair
Richard over his career has built over 1,500 homes. He has been involved in custom homes, townhomes, condominiums, and active adult communities. He has personally built decks, finished basements, remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, installed new windows, siding, roofing, and drywall. His vast experience has given him the ability to understand how items are supposed to constructed or not constructed. I continue to learn everyday with new technology and products. Let my experience help you when your home is in frame stage to catch any issues that cannot be seen after drywall goes up.

Why have surprises? We can provide you with an inspection report to inform you of what a Buyers inspection may reveal. We want to make your selling process less stressful, so lets us help you do that.
They will inform buyers of things that won't likely need to be replaced anytime soon. They will point out the “good things”, that in turn make buyers feel comfortable and reassured about the house they want to buy. Additionally, home inspectors educate buyers!
Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. For children, radon and second-hand smoke are the biggest risks for developing lung cancer later in life. Unless you test with a radon test kit, you can't tell whether your home has radon, because radon is a gas that has no smell, no color, and can't be seen.
I use continuous Radon Testing equipment which takes readings every hours for a minimum of 24 hours.
A WDIR is important because you want to know the exact condition of the home that you are investing in. Getting a WDI inspection done before buying or selling a home can save thousands of dollars in potential structural damage caused by termites and other insects.
I use a third party professional WDIR Inspection company. I can only offer this service with a Home Inspection. I use them often so I can help you save money on the cost of doing your own independent WDIR Inspection.
In Maryland, property transfer is one of the few times when a septic system is looked at and evaluated. Typically, a mortgage company requires that an inspection occurs as a condition of sale and this is a high-risk moment for both homebuyers and home sellers - many things can go wrong, and a septic system is one piece in this intricate dance.
Inspections are crucial for finding problems with septic systems. There are different types of failures that a proper inspection can find: pre-failure, temporary failure, and failure.
