Welcome!!!

I am Walter Fish Owner of Bay Area Home Inspection, LLC.  I have been inspecting homes since 1998 and have been licensed in Wisconsin since 1999 #739-106 (Michigan does not require licensing and has no competency standards). I am extremely thorough and represent my customer with the highest integrity. I realize that a home or building purchase can be a huge investment. It is extremely important that a thorough home inspection be performed to protect your investment. Home Inspectors are not alike even though we are supposed to practice under the same standards. Choosing a home inspector should be your decision or a recommendation from a friend. If you want the best inspector in this area, I am the one. I deliver a computerized report complete with digital pictures and the ability to present you easy to understand comments about the condition of the home. After reviewing my inspection you will feel confident you made the correct choice by calling me. Please call us today or click on my calendar/scheduler and book online now.  You can even pay with your Visa or MasterCard for your convenience.  See you at the inspection!
