The Red Cedar Standard®
Introducing The Red Cedar Standard® -- the thing that sets Red Cedar Professional Inspections apart from the rest.  A home inspection from Red Cedar Professional Inspections is a top-to-bottom look at the home, inside and out. We look at the roof, attic, structural components, and foundation, as well as the plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, and much more. 

But, isn’t that the same thing every other home inspection company offers?
No, it isn’t.  Let’s talk about the differences.

The Minimum Standard vs The Red Cedar Standard®
Licensing and certifying authorities have determined the minimum standard for home inspections is to check a “representative number” of items in each room.  Their definition of “representative number” is one.  That means one outlet, one window, one door, and so on.  Unlike home inspection services that just follow the minimum standard, we at Red Cedar Professional Inspections follow the Red Cedar Standard®.  That means, instead of checking a “representative number” of items in a room, we check every single accessible item.  Sure, it takes longer.  An average sized home will take us 4-6 hours to inspect, but that’s OK.  Our clients are like family.  They deserve the Red Cedar Standard® every single time.

What’s Included with the Red Cedar Standard®?
It’s more than just a slogan.  It’s an entire suite of services, coupled with the quality inspection our clients have come to expect from Red Cedar Professional Inspections every single time.  Let’s take a look at the basic items included with the Red Cedar Standard®.

• Follow-Up Service After the Inspection
  A Red Cedar home inspection doesn’t end when the inspection report is delivered to the client.  We offer complimentary follow-up after the inspection is complete, including... 
   
  
  • Ready and willing to answer any questions the client may have about anything in the inspection report.  This never expires.  If a client has a question a year from now, we’re happy to talk through it.  We never leave a client hanging.
  • Ready and willing to talk the seller through any repairs or corrections recommended in the inspection report.  Because, sometimes things get lost in the text message translation.
  • Free re-inspection of any item flagged in the report, once that item has been corrected.* We call this our “Trust but Verify” policy.  Because, while we trust the seller intends to repair the item correctly, we must always verify.
     
• Free Home Warranty
  What if total peace of mind came with a FREE 30 Day Home Warranty?  Well, now it does!  Red Cedar Professional Inspections has negotiated a free 30 day trial for you with Guard Home Warranty, a trusted name in the home warranty business.  What other home inspection company is giving you all this?...
   
  • No Appliance Age Restrictions
  • $25,000 in Aggregate Savings Per Contract Term
  • Easy-To-Use Online Claims Portal
  • Top-Notch Customer Service
  • Choose Your Own Contractor  
     
• Buy Back Guarantee
  Finally, Red Cedar Professional Inspections offers a “Buy Back Guarantee.”  If we miss a covered item during your home inspection (we’re human), InterNACHI® will buy your home.  Additional terms and conditions apply.**

Optional Add-Ons
In addition to the above standard items, Red Cedar Professional Inspections offers several valuable add-ons that continue to set us apart from the crowd. The following ancillary services are available for small additional fee.

• Radon Testing - Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that is found in soil. It is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. According to studies, up to 25% of homes in Tennessee (even those without basements) have high radon levels. We would love to help ensure your home and family is safe from radon exposure.
• Thermal Imaging - We offer thermal imaging of the home, just in case there’s something there that can’t be seen with the naked eye.  Thermal imaging is like having a home inspector with X-ray vision. So, you could say Red Cedar Professional Inspections might even have super powers!
• Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspection (Termite Letter) -  You have enough on your mind.  Let us set up the WDI inspection, so you don’t have to.  Our third party contractor will perform the inspection and we’ll deliver the Termite Letter in a timely fashion.
• 120 Day Inspection Warranty - Plan term is 90 days from closing or 120 days from inspection.  No age limit on the appliances covered under the warranty.  Eligible mechanical and structural repairs are reimbursed up to $2250.00.  Qualifying roof leakage repairs and mold remediation expenses in excess of $250 are reimbursed up to $1500 per property.***

But, I Found It Cheaper…
You might find a home inspection service that quotes lower prices than Red Cedar Professional Inspections.  However, you won’t find the Red Cedar Standard® anywhere else.  That is something only Red Cedar Professional Inspections provides.  Remember…  You get what you pay for.

Why Settle for Less Than the Red Cedar Standard®?
All of this and more is what makes up the Red Cedar Standard®, the exceptional service that you get with every home inspection, only at Red Cedar Professional Inspections.  Why would you accept anything less?

*Free Re-Inspections: Limit one free re-inspection prior to close per address.  Subsequent inspections incur a minimum $125 fee.  Radon re-tests require two visits to the property and will incur a minimum $125 fee.  Must be within a 30 mile radius of our home office in Clarksville, TN.  Locations outside this radius may incur a small mileage fee.
