This amazing charity provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
Services
A Better Home Inspection was established in 1988 by Ray Forster and is now run by his grandson, Danny. It has always been our goal to create the best experience we can for our clients, by not only providing them with superior service, but also informing them on crucial aspects of the home which they are looking to purchase.
This is a typical home inspection that looks for common defects in the home, so you understand the investment you're making. Protect yourself and your investment by getting more of an understanding of the house you want to make into a home. Defects, non-functional components, and safety issues can be revealed with a home inspection.
Our goal at A Better Home Inspection is to create the best possible experience possible for our clients, but we also strive to stay active in our community. Our team is always seeking out opportunities to get involved, whether that be volunteer work, being part of various realtor associations, sponsoring an event or just helping our neighbors.
The Semper Fi & America's Fund is dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. We deliver the resources they need during recovery and transition back to their communities, working to ensure no one is left behind.
We are proud to say that our success as a company thrives from our great reputation which we have developed over the last 30+ years. Our reputation steams from exceeding customer service, certified inspectors with extensive experience, and our highest standard of professionalism. A Better Home Inspection always goes above and beyond for our clients to provide an experience that is unmatched by any other company.

Met with Elijah at the property my client is buying and he did a tremendous job. He was there early, was friendly, was thorough and reviewed the report before he left in great detail. Then had the final report emailed out to my client and I before I could even get back to the office. Great job!!

I'm a Realtor and I really love A Better Home Inspection. The report comes very quickly and the software they use makes it really easy to go over everything with my clients. My buyer on Ashmill Ct, was extremely happy with A Better Home Inspection and our inspector Doug Gurganus. He was blown away at how thorough the home inspection was. I will continue to recommend A Better Home Inspection, to all my clients.
Thank You! Vicki Rae DeBoer

Danny handled our inspection beautifully. This was our first inspection, and we were very nervous: CA homebuying is no joke! He was thorough, careful, and detail-oriented -- all the things you want in your inspector -- and then took the time to walk me through all of the findings in detail. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and clearly, laying out his answers accessibly but without talking down. He took extra time to engage with my teenager and pre-teen, too -- a little extra kindness that they both really appreciated. I'd give more stars if I could!

Sam showed up a little early and started off explaining the process. He answered all of my questions throughout and was very professional. He was very detailed oriented and knowledgeable about all elements of the building. On a side note he had really good quality equipment/tools and was very organized which just expressed he meant business. The report was presented on a tablet with high quality photos and sent via email right after the inspection. This was the type of experience that provides the confidence you want when buying a home.

The process was very efficient from the initial communication up to reviewing the report in-person with us. The format of the report was easy to follow and understand. The visual images added value for additional feedback regarding the observations. The personal interaction made us feel they really valued us as their client. We were very pleased to get a prompt copy of the final report.

We have used this company twice now for inspection of two different possible home purchases. Both times they were very accommodating to our timeframe needs, knowledgeable and thorough in their assessments. They explained everything really well to us. They were professional and pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend them to anyone. So nice to work with good people who seem to really care.

John provided a thorough inspection and took the time and care to go over his findings with us. He was kind, personable, and extremely knowledgeable, a true expert in his field. John had great insights for us on how best to fix any issues highlighted in his report. We could not have asked for a better home inspector and highly recommend his services.

Absolutely recommend Better Home Inspection.
I am a real estate agent, and this was my first time working with them. Very professional, on time, very knowledgeable and patient, Doug took the time to wait for my clients to explain and point out things on the report.
