what sets us apart ?
Free Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is an advanced technique that can indicate many potential defects within the heat spread across a building uncovering hidden issues. This service is included with each inspection.
Repair Request Summary
Our advanced computer reporting software,Palm-tech, gives our clients easy to read reports with an itemized repair list at your finger tips.
Same Day Report
Because time is of the essence, we usually can get you the inspection report on the same day of your inspection. We also take the time to go over your report and answer any questions, on site, after the inspection is complete. We can not guarantee same day report on third party inspections (i.e. termite, plumbing) and subcontractors.
Full Color Photos In Every Report
Included in each report are full color pictures that match the description of the areas that need to be addressed.
Low Cost Re-Inspection
If requested by the client/agent, AZ Shield Home Inspections will be happy to re-inspect the deficiencies, that have been professionally repaired. $175
