Taylor’s Tips for Home Buyers, Home Sellers, and Home Inspections

1st time home buyer? Selling your home? Or a Real Estate Professional? Why NuBlue?!

1. We’re a one-stop-shop! Some of the most important components in a house are the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Being able to rely on one company to handle this trifecta can save you headaches and your valuable time!
2. You will get your own personal account manager with Taylor. He has a passion for serving people, the real estate business, and the three trades. 
3. Timing is of the essence! NuBlue prides itself on offering same-day or next-day services. We take into consideration that you are in a due diligence period when you call NuBlue for an estimate. The quicker we can resolve an issue, the better a real estate transaction can go. 

What does NuBlue do when it comes to inspection reports?

1. Taylor and his team will carefully read over the concerns that are highlighted in the inspection report. An estimate can typically be drafted with this information. 
2. In the case that we will need more information, an appointment will be scheduled to meet a realtor or the homeowner at the location where there is a cause of concern.
3. Our estimates will be on a letterhead and can be used for negotiations or as you see fit.   

Is NuBlue just an electrical, plumbing, and HVAC service company? No!

1. The electrical team also installs and services Generac generators and EV chargers
2. Our plumbing team can perform backflow inspections, install most septic systems, service and install well pumps, water filters and perform camera inspections on drain lines. 
3. The air you breathe is extremely important, that’s why our HVAC team can install air purification equipment and clean ductwork. 

How much should I expect to pay for your services during a real estate transaction?

1. A full onsite inspection starts at $199. This is for one trade (Typically HVAC). 
2. Virtual home inspection report estimates are FREE! (Typically Plumbing and Electric)
