Client Testimonials
-
Damon inspected our condo during the escrow phase of the purchase. He produced a 27 page report on 540 square feet. I'm handy myself and had an idea of what to expect and sure enough he found everything I found and more. Communication was easy. Emails and payment in advance by CC over the phone and he completed the inspection on schedule and delivered the report within a few hours of the completion of the inspection. I had read the report and just finished when he called and we went over the report together and he further explained issues found and possible solutions. Our realtor Lisa Marx recommended him and now I can ditto that recommendation.

- When we are finished with the property inspection, we create a detailed report outlining our analysis and how assess how critical each problem area is to the safety and value of your home.

UNWANTED GUESTS COULD BE DEVALUING YOUR HOME
SCHEDULE A INSPECTION IN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA, RENO/TAHOE AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
Wood-destroying organisms and pests can cause major damage to your home, but they're often hard to find. Copious Interests Inc can conduct an inspection to see if your home is under attack.
Don't wait for a treatable problem to become a catastrophe. Call us now to schedule your inspection.
TERMITES
These pests live in colonies under the soil and feed on the cellulose material that is found in plant cells as well as wood. Like fungi, they eat away the inside of the wood, making it hollow and weak. Cracks in foundation and walls allow termites access to wood, where they chew tunnels inside existing structures.
RACCOONS
If there are raccoons living somewhere in a house, such as the attic, ceiling, walls, or under the home, there is most likely a litter of baby raccoons inside, and they must be dealt with before you remove any adults.
WOODPECKERS
Even the most eager backyard birders may wish they'd never attracted birds when woodpeckers cause damage to their house, deck, chimney, fence, or other structures
SAFEGUARD YOUR INVESTMENT WITH A HOME INSPECTION THAT INCLUDES WOOD-ROT AND PEST INSPECTION
A wood rot inspection begins with a visual scan of wood surfaces specifically looking for discoloration, sunken areas and areas where previous repairs have taken place. Our professional inspection team uses a probing device such as a screwdriver to locate soft spots in the wood surface which is indicative of rot. We can also use an electronic moisture meter to see if the wood is currently wet. Our experienced team knows that there are specific locations that are more likely to have wood rot than others. We carefully examine the potential risky areas and assess the location for wood rot.
Our inspectors are trained to identify factors that cause damage to the property. A home inspection at Copious Interests Inc. will uncover signs of damage caused by:
- Termites
- Carpenter ants
- Woodboring beetles
- Rodents
- Birds
- Raccoons
- Other Invaders
These pests can cause costly damage to your property leading to expensive repair work if not detected early. Copious Interests Inc.can help protect your home by exposing infestations. Schedule a wood-destroying insect inspection for your home today.
ENSURE YOUR INVESTMENT HAS A SOLID FOUNDATION
One of the most expensive renovations in your home is fixing structural defects. Your best chance of finding the structural defect before you purchase a home or building is to have a home inspection performed by a licensed home inspector. Many structural defects have only subtle symptoms. As an example, a home or building buyer may not recognize floor joists or a sill plate with damage that could cause you costly repairs. At Copious Interests Inc. we evaluate the structural integrity and safety of your home to give you an honest assessment of your investment. Our trusted inspection team ensures the structural integrity and safety of your home.
The foundation provides structural support and keeps water, soil, animals and insects from entering a basement or crawl space. Having a sound structural integrity is essential to maintain a safe home. Some real estate buyers mistakenly believe structural defects are only a concern in older homes. This could cost you thousands in repairs. Don't assume that new builds have less repairs and therefore do no need a home inspection. To ensure the safety of your home be certain to get a home inspection from a trusted certified home inspector. For years Copious Interests Inc. has been working with families around the greater Lake Tahoe community assessing the safety and structural integrity of homes and buildings. If you are in the market to buy or sell your home, give us a call at (530) 545-9880. We look forward to working with you

WORK WITH A TRUSTED HOME INSPECTOR SERVING BOTH CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA IN THE RENO/TAHOE AREA
Real estate is one of the largest Investments in a person's life. When buying or selling real estate it is important to consult an expert to make sure you are informed about the condition of your investment. Here are some key reasons why it is important to get a home inspection:
Preparing to Sell
A home inspection professional will inspect the property thoroughly to inform you about the current condition of the property. If you are a seller of a property you can fix any issues before selling to provide for a smooth sale and to get top of the market price.
Informational Tool
When purchasing a property it is very important to know the condition of property. Many issues like a leaky pipe under the home can go unnoticed for many years and be costly to repair. Our inspectors also inspect for wood rot, pests, safety, and structural issues.
Home Safety
Our home inspectors are trained professionals with many years experience not only in the inspection industry but in the construction industry. They are trained to look for any safety issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. Our inspectors assess the interior, exterior, roof, attic, crawl space, heating, air conditioning, electrical, and plumbing.
Negotiating Tool
It is important when going into contract on a property to have an inspection contingency. This gives the buyer time to have professionals assess the property. If any issues do arise from the property inspection you can use this information to negotiate on the purchase price, decide whether this property is the right one for you, or ask the seller to make the needed repairs.
Budgeting Tool
A home inspector can assess whether the house has been properly maintenanced and what maintenance issues need to be done or are long overdue. This information can help you budget for the future so you know what you're getting into.
Peace of Mind
Purchasing real estate is a big investment and can be very stressful. Copious Interests Inc is here to put your mind at ease and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. Your inspection report is available the same day as your inspection. Meeting with the inspector is encouraged, and if you are not available, phone conferences can be arranged. We are open seven days a week and the inspector is available to consult with you throughout the process.
WHEN SHOULD I GET A HOME INSPECTION?
- Pre-Drywall - If you’re building a house, we can evaluate the contractor’s work and major systems before everything is hidden under layers of drywall.
- New Home - Once construction is complete, we can assess your home and prepare a list of items to be repaired prior to your “walk through” with the builder, giving you leverage.
- Twelve-Month Builder Warranty - Most new homes come with a 12-month builder warranty. Call Copious Interests Inc., and we can identify any issues while they’re still covered under the warranty.
- Pre-Listing - Thinking of listing your home? Schedule a home inspection and address any issues before your house is listed. This allows you to better position the selling price of the home before it hits the market.
- Buying a Home - Protect your financial investment and make sure you have a certified home inspector give you an accurate evaluation of the property.
At Copious Interests Inc. our professional home inspection team will evaluate your home from foundation to roof following the Standards of Practice set by InterNACHI and the state you reside. Here is an example of what we look for in a home inspection:
- Foundation
- Exterior
- Roof Condition
- Plumbing
- HVAC Unit / Systems
- Garage
- Electrical System
- Flooring Condition
- Insulation/Ventilation
- Kitchen Appliances
