Meet Your Inspector Steve Mehring
Steve works to identify visual and hidden problems/deficiency prior to the purchase of your home or property with a comprehensive inspection. He provides fact-based information about what he finds and provides it to only the person he contracted with unless otherwise noted. He draws on his over thirty-seven-years worth of construction and design experience and his Certification as an Existing Home Inspector to analyze, and interpret the physical evidence of defects and deficiency’s and provide a written narrative of all findings, both good and bad. The end user can use the narrative report to make an informed decision on whether or not to move forward on their investment. The report can also be used as a negotiating tool to mitigate costs by asking the seller to perform repairs as a part of your purchase agreement. Additional benefits of an inspection is a further level of comfort for the buyer knowing a trained professional who is knowledgeable in multiple aspects of your property evaluated complex systems such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing, water distribution, waste water and storm water collection and disposal, property drainage as well as the identification of health, safety concerns.
Steve is also a certified FHA 203k Consultant. He performs consultation with lending institutions to verify homes being purchased using the 203k rehabilitation loan application to meet the FHA minimum property standards. In addition, a feasibility study is conducted to ascertain additional information regarding the condition of the property. Items included in the study contain mandatory, recommended and desired repairs that are necessary, along with a cost estimate for the listed repairs. After the lender and the borrower have closed the loan on the property, constructions funds are set aside in escrow to begin the rehabilitation process. As a 203k consultant construction cost, payments and progress milestones are tracked to make sure repairs are on schedule and within the borrowers negotiated budget. A final inspection is performed at the conclusion of the project to verify all of the repairs have been completed, that the contractor has been paid, permits have been closed, and the borrower is satisfied with the rehabilitation project.

“Just used Precision Home Inspections this summer and was very satisfied with the experience. Steve checked out the home we are hopefully buying, took 2-3 hours going through the house explaining systems, repairs, and [answered] any questions my wife and I had. He’s pleasant, thorough, and made the experience easy and fun.”

“We had an inspection done on our (hopefully) future home. They arrived on time and were so friendly! We got their information by recommendation from our realtor, so we weren’t too sure what to expect. Steve was so informative and answered every question we had. They took their time and fully invested themselves in the evaluation. He also gave me a run down of what to keep an eye on as home owners, how to turn things on and off (gas lines, water lines etc.). He provided us with the report in less then 24 hrs and will always be available with any further questions we have in the future. Couldn’t be happier with our experience!”

Nontraditional HVAC Systems: What Should You Know?
Steve Mehring Helpful videos, tips & more
Duct systems. Ventilation—not cooling or heating—is the purpose of an HRV/ERV. These systems ideally have a dedicated duct system, so in addition to the ducts used for heating and cooling, there should be another set of ducts for ventilation. If an HRV has its own duct system, it can be balanced, but if it’s connected to an air handler, it can be unbalanced when the air handler is operating. Raymer cautioned inspectors to be aware that an HRV/ERV can tap into either input or output ducts, but if the HRV/ERV is tapped into both of these, the performance of the HRV may be useless.
The goal is to achieve efficiency and balance. An unbalanced HRV/ERV is either bringing in or putting out unequal amounts of air. An HRV/ERV can’t be balanced if it’s using both supply and return. HRVs are, by design, balanced systems, but they do not add air to the house—an HRV only brings in an equal amount to what is expelled.
