NBI is Northern California's largest privately owned inspection company. We are the only company known to perform unbiased home and termite inspections. We do not perform any corrective work or chemical treatments on any home we inspect.
Even though NBI does not perform corrective work or chemical treatments, we are very knowledgeable of local repair prices. As an added customer service we do provide you with "Cost Approximations" for all the corrective work recommended in our termite reports. In this way, you can determine if contractor bids are fair. (We also provide you with a list of qualified contractors in your area that can perform all termite repairs. Use your contractor or use one of the contractors listed in NBI's reports.) Click on Frequently Asked Questions to see how needed repairs can be performed.
NBI utilizes the state-of-the-art computerized inspection system that insures the inspector observes and reports on every major component within the home. Our full narrative inspection report can be in your office within 24 hours.
NBI is backed by professional liability (errors and ommission) and general liability insurance for your added protection. All inspections either meet or exceed the inspection standards set by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and the California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA)
We offer a 100% refund of our inspection fee if your client isn't completely satisfied with our inspection or report.
NBI saves you time by performing both the home and termite inspection at the same time. You disturb the seller only one time.
Having NBI perform your client's home and termite inspections, you will have only one responsible company to deal with in the event of post-inspection problems. See Commendation Letter from the Better Business Bureau.
Above all else….Do not allow your client's home to be inspected by anyone that offers to repair the damage or treat the infestation found. Inspectors that perform corrective work on the homes they inspect are frequently on commission or profit sharing based upon the amount of corrective work they can sell. It's false economy to select an inspection company based upon their inspection fee only. Often times a "FREE" or "Low Priced" inspection is far more expensive than a fairly priced inspection from an un-biased inspection firm.
