“Pride” is our Promise
American Pride is more than just a slogan for our company. American “Pride” is our watch-word and our guiding principle. It is our attitude and the way we conduct business.
The purchase of your home is perhaps one of the largest investments of your life. It is where your family will snuggle down to sleep and it will be the security within your world. The scared privacy where you expect the place where you have your most valued possessions to be safe.
When you buy a house, you want to be proud of your achievement and your friends, family and neighbors will judge you by the condition it is in.
You have weighed and deliberated this decision with great care. You want to have complete physical information, to add to the equation regarding the “house” that you want to make your home. That’s the smart approach to easing your mind and detecting any potential problems along 
the way.
the way. Your Realtor is a professional who is held to the highest standards by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), and we too, pledge ourselves as members of The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). We are professionals and we know how to detect major problems if they exist. Additionally, we can supply you with tips regarding home maintenance, so you can properly take care of that major investment.
As home inspectors, we understand the complexity of construction as well as the design and manufacturing of components which give us a unique vantage point. Additionally, we understand the normal stress and wear points. You would probably not know where and what to look for unless you have the knowledge. It is our business to know these things. We are the professionals; we continue to study planned obsolescence and the life cycle of construction components.
Take the risk out of your house purchase!
Often, we can give you tips on how to extend the life cycle of items and circumvent costly repairs if they are well maintained. Ask us about tips on the maintenance of your new home.
It is our job, as your home inspector, to examine the major components of your home prior to your purchase. This gives you an indication if there might be major structural issues or an idea of where in the life cycle existing components might be. For example, you should know if the roof leaks, and if not, how much life still remains. Should you expect to replace it in the next several years or not? Another issue might be the heating and air conditioning unit. Has it been properly maintained? That can be a major repair if it is aged out and near ready to be replaced.
Ask us about an inexpensive homeowner’s warranty that can insure you against sudden surprise homeowner’s repairs. That can provide you with a peace of mind as well.
An inspection report shall describe and identify material defects observed. Our reports may contain recommendations regarding conditions which effect property value.

Annual Maintenance Management Inspection
This is a once a year maintenance management inspection dedicated to locating minor maintenance issue before they escalate into major repair issues. This program is available for all residential properties that have had a general home inspection from American Pride Home Inspection Service within the past 90 days. This service is focused on helping our clients maintain their homes and avoiding costly unforeseen major repairs. Annual maintenance inspections are scheduled in the months of October, November and December. This allows for the inspection of active leaking to be detected at the roof area.
For your convenience, we are available from 8AM to 8PM, Tuesday-Saturday.
For most people, real estate is their biggest investment. For this reason, we encourage the buyer to be present during the inspection and to participate by asking questions to the inspector. In many cases, the client is unable to attend. We encourage the client to contact our office to arrange a telephone consultation.1-877-424-8289

We are aware that unfortunately anyone with a truck, ladder and flashlight can call himself a home inspector. Please remember that the home inspections industry is not regulated by any government agency. It is up to us to demonstrate our commitment to each customer by providing the highest level of quality service and to maintain integrity.

(Much more; too numerous to mention)
A home inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of a residential dwelling, performed for a fee, which is designed to identify observed material defects within specific components of said dwelling. Components may include any combination of mechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing, or other essential systems or portions of the home, as identified and agreed to by the Client and Inspector, prior to or during the inspection process.
A home inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling. The inspection is based on observation of the visible and apparent condition of the structure and its components on the date of the inspection and not the determination of future conditions.
A material defect is a problem with a residential real property or any portion of it that would have a significant adverse impact on the value of the property or that involves an unreasonable risk to people on the property.
