Welcome to On Point Inspections

Thank you for visiting our website!

I welcome the opportunity to help with your home purchase, selling, safety or peace of mind goals. Whether your home is a cottage or a castle, I offer unparalleled service and reliable information backed by decades of experience.

I bring over 26 years of home inspection, real estate and construction experience when I inspect your home. Prior to home inspecting, I worked with general contracting firms on new custom homes and luxury condominiums. I have experience with developers and especially enjoyed working on an equestrian community. I’ve completed numerous whole house remodels and, my personal favorite, historic home preservations. While in military service, I worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the world’s largest public construction, engineering and design agency.

I take pride in being a trusted resource. The majority of my business comes from word of mouth referrals. Buying, selling or simply questions about your current home, the details and advice provided will help you make sound decisions.

Best regards,
David Clegg, CPI

Additional Inspection Services & Certifications

Radon Gas Testing

High levels of radon gas are found in 25% of Michigan homes. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer. In the U.S., over 21,000 people per year die from high levels of radon. The Surgeon General and EPA recommend radon testing in every home. Make sure your home is tested by a certified professional.

Chimney Camera Scan

A Chimney Camera Scan of the interior of the chimney liner can uncover a myriad of defects. Chimney liner problems are not only fire and health safety hazards they can also indicate structural problems. Chimney repairs are one of the biggest expenses for homeowners.

Sewer Scope

A sewer scope can save you over $30,000 in sewer line repairs. Assessing the condition of the sewer line with a sewer scope camera can help you avoid one of the most expensive repairs homeowners face. A video taken during the sewer scope is provided for you to watch. Sewer line defect repairs are way too expensive to forego this service

Mold Testing

Mold is often hidden behind walls, under carpets, in ductwork and other areas of your home. We provide several ways to test for mold. All evaluation methods involve collecting samples, laboratory analysis, and further examination of conditions and systems in and around your home.

Whole Home Infrared Inspections

Infrared Thermal Surveys involve an in-depth, foot-by-foot investigation of your home. Experience and training allow us to interpret what the camera is showing. Moisture intrusion, air leaks, damaged building material, hidden areas of mold and overheating electrical components are often uncovered.

WDO Inspection

The VA wood destroying Inspect reports are required for all Veterans Administration loans in our market. Termites and powder post beetles are found in Michigan. All home buyers should consider a WDI inspection.

Move In Certified

Buyers have confidence to pay more for a Seller’s home that is Pre-Inspected and Move-In Certified. This allows the Seller to address deficiencies in advance saving off-market time once under contract. Sellers have more control to negotiate repairs upfront along with the purchase price.

Water Testing

We offer testing for those interested in investigating public or private well water quality. The presence of such things as total coliform bacteria, E-coli, nitrates, nitrites, lead, arsenic, turbidity, and sodium can be analyzed.

Builder’s Warranty

At the 11^th month of new home ownership you’ll notify your builder of deficiencies. This is normally the last chance before most repair responsibility shifts. These inspections can pay for themselves saving you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Multi-Unit Inspection

We inspect multi-unit buildings with up to 4 units. If you are thinking of buying an investment property there is often a fair amount of costly deferred maintenance. The value of the building can be grossly affected by needed repairs.
