About us

I am the owner and single inspector for my company. I take pride in performing the best and most accurate inspection in the industry. I keep up to date on new technology within the Home Inspection industry by being and active member of ASHI and InterNachi, which require continuing education requirements above and beyond state requirements. Stearns Home Inspections creates a thorough inspections using state of the art reporting that is room specific for your unique home. This program breaks down the home being inspected into specific categories such as: Grounds, Exterior, Roof, All Interior Rooms, Basement, Structure, Foundation, Attic, Electric, Heating, Plumbing and AC if applicable. The state of the art software keeps up to date on changes in the industry and breaks down each category into very detailed sub categories. This provides you with a unique and very specific inspection report for your home. It creates an Overview report which discuses; The Scope of the Inspection, Main Entrance Faces, State of Occupancy, Weather Conditions, Recent Rain and Approximate Age It creates a Summary Report of specific items to give you a quick glance at the entire home inspection. In this section as stated on the report is in order of; Items Not Operating, Major Concerns • Potential Safety Issues • Deferred Cost Items • Improvement Items • Items to Monitor I provide this Inspection Report via e-mail in a PDF form within 24 hours of the inspection. I am also available for calls if any questions were to arise. I am here to help make this a smooth transition while providing you with the most comprehensive inspections to understand your new home.

First Off - Excellent Job. Professional, Responsible, Responsive, Knowledgeable. Over the years, I have had a number of home inspections done in different states. Some good, some not. Rick far surpassed my expectations. Both my husband and I were able to be present at the home inspection. He reviewed items and areas thoroughly. When there was something of concern, no matter how small, he mentioned it and made us aware of it. This really helped us learn more about the house we are purchasing. We had a home, radon, and wdi inspection done. Rick was up front with pricing and what he would / could do and what he could not. The three plus hours he spent going over our property with us was greatly appreciated. This is the first time I've felt like the cost of an inspection was worth the time and the money. Thank you Rick! Great work ethic. Keep it up!

I can't recommend Rick enough. We had an excellent experience. Rick was able to meet us at very short notice. He arrived early and prepared. Once we arrived, we received a detailed explanation of the process. We felt comfortable knowing Rick would sufficiently answer any and all of our questions. Rick was both efficient and thorough, ensuring a complete inspection in a fixed timeframe. His knowledge and expertise was outstanding. We felt very confident Rick was providing an accurate inspection and made sure to explain each nuance of our house. The experience felt very personalized to our unique home and situation.
