Standards of Practice
As an Arizona Board Certified Home Inspector and a member of InterNACHI I have a Standards of Practice to which all home inspections performed by Petrichor are held.
Our Full Inspections include all of the required Standard’s of Practice and much more.
Full Availability
24/7 Scheduling
The inspection timeline can be very short, usually only 10 days, that is why we keep availability open 6 days a week along with a convenient online scheduler.
Inspection Software
We use Spectora, a modern inspection software. Our reports are completely online with a summary and major repair navigation.
We are always asked, “What inspection software do you use?” and “What is your timeline for delivering reports?” When I’m asked this I get excited to talk about Spectora and the amazing features it offers for my Clients and my Realtors.
Spectora is an all-online reporting system that is easy to navigate. The inspection categories are displayed on the left, with the number of deficiencies for each labeled. Items inspected, minor repair items, major repairs, and immediate attention items are numbered at the top. A Full Report, Summary, and PDF are available under the cover photo. All items are clickable and take you to the designated section.
