About Us
We at Western PA Inspections are home inspection experts who specialize
in residential inspections, particularly single-family homes. We're certified by NACHI (National
Association of Certified Home Inspectors), and we abide by their stringent
standards of practice and code of ethics.
We cover a 50-mile radius around Pittsburgh, including Butler and Washington counties. Our principal, Tim Vermillion, has over 30 years of experience in technical education. He received his bachelor's and master's degree in Technology Education from West Virginia University, and he has held the office of President of the Technology Education Association of Pennsylvania.
Western PA Inspections has a genuine interest in your safety and well-being. From top to bottom, we inspect the property for any existing or potential safety hazards that may exist, and report on them in a clear format.
Committed to consumer education, we urge you to be present at the inspection, a valuable educational experience during which you can ask questions on the spot and better understand our report. We offer maintenance tips, and share knowledge of the home that gives you control, confidence, and peace of mind about your decision and negotiations. Whether you are buying or selling, knowing the condition of the property guarantees a fair, smooth transaction, especially with today’s current high cost of real estate.
Our advice does not end with the inspection; you are welcome to call us anytime after the inspection. We will also conduct pre-listing inspections, as well as pre-inspections (a one hour verbal walk-through with the owner). We well understand that buying or marketing a property is one of the largest financial and emotional investments that you can make.
Our user-friendly reports are very detailed and thorough. Available on-line within 24 hours, our computer-generated reports include extensive digital photography, color-coding, and comprehensive coverage of every system in your home. We also highlight current and potential problem areas in a summary section. The report will tell you exactly what to expect in both interior and exterior maintenance before you buy or sell, to avoid unpleasant surprises.
We request 24 hours’ advance notice to schedule an inspection, but we will try our best to accommodate emergency situations.
How is Western PA Inspections distinguished from other inspectors? Knowledgeable and experienced, we’re well-respected in our service area. We receive much of our business from word-of-mouth referrals given by satisfied customers, which means a great deal.
We’re totally patient and personable, good teachers, and easy to work with. We want to help clients in every way possible, and we keep clients’ concerns uppermost in mind throughout the entire process. We go beyond the basic inspection to provide a level of detail that gives homeowners information not often provided or otherwise overlooked.
Most important, we’re distinguished by our strong integrity. This dedication is based on our knowledge, experience, and responsiveness to our customers’ needs.
Our commitment to you and our wish to see you safe and comfortable in your home are unparalleled—call us today to find out for yourself why Western PA Inspections is your home inspector!
