Kathleen J.
Chip is very thorough. He explains the issues and they are very easy to understand. Upper Cumberland Home Inspection is very quick as well. I had my report in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend them for your home inspection. They are very affordable and like I said Chip looks at everything. You will be very well informed about the condition of the home your having inspected. Two thumps up for them. I would give more but I only have two.

My experience with Upper Cumberland Home Inspection was very positive. I found them to be very thorough and completed the job when they said they would and documentation was excellent. They were very good at explaining all aspects of the report and the pictures they provided were very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone purchasing a new property.

My home inspection was done within 5 days of me calling for an appointment. My report was emailed sooner then I was told it would be. Chip has been available anytime I’ve called with questions. The report was very detailed with pictures. I was very impressed and highly recommend this company for your home inspection needs!
Melissa R.
Chip was awesome!! Very detailed, very willing to accommodate on short notice. We could not make it to the inspection with Chip, but the phone calls, pictures and report made us feel like we were. We highly recommend Chip to anyone needing a house inspected in the area!

The very best experience I’ve ever had. Mr Chip Ried was fully accessible, very easy to talk to, and super knowledgeable. He explained everything and I can tell he really was working “for me” and not just doing the bare minimum.
Thank you Mr Reid, appreciate you

Common Questions About Our Inspection Services
Our FAQ section is designed to address the most common inquiries about our home inspection services, ensuring you have all the information you need to make informed decisions.
What does a home inspection cover exactly?
A standard home inspection is a visual examination of the readily accessible areas of a home’s major systems: roof, structure, foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning, with a focus on identifying current issues or potential future problems. We do not perform destructive testing or move personal belongings.
Is a home inspection a guarantee that the house is perfect?
No, a home inspection is not a guarantee. It is an objective assessment of the property’s condition at the time of the inspection. Latent defects may not be discovered.
Should I attend the inspection?
We highly encourage you to attend the inspection. It’s a valuable opportunity to ask questions, gain a better understanding of the property’s condition, and review findings on-site.
Should I get a pre-listing inspection before putting my house on the market?
A pre-listing inspection can be a great idea. It allows you to identify and address potential issues before they come up during a buyer’s inspection, potentially leading to a smoother and faster sale.
What standards do you follow?
We follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice (or applicable state standards), giving your clients the same level of knowledge and coverage on all properties.
How long will the inspection take, and when will I receive the report?
The inspection typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property. You will receive a comprehensive digital report, with photos and detailed explanations, within 24 hours of the inspection.
What if I have questions about the report after the inspection?
We are always available to answer your questions and provide clarification regarding the inspection report. We are here to help you.
What happens if the inspection reveals major problems?
The inspection report will provide a clear understanding of the issues. You can then use this information to negotiate repairs with the seller, request a price reduction, or, depending on your contract, withdraw from the purchase.
What happens if the inspection reveals problems that I'm not willing to fix?
You have several options. You can disclose the issues to potential buyers and adjust the asking price accordingly. You can also choose not to address the problems and allow the buyer to negotiate repairs. “Remember if it is known, you should disclose it.”
As the buyer, should I use the Seller's inspection report that was done?
Even though properties are ‘static,’ meaning they don’t move, any report is simply ‘an opinion’ from the inspector at that time, and for only what they can see. For true due diligence, you should always hire your own inspector.
