What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation.
Why do I need a home inspection?
Buying a home could be the largest single investment you will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.
If you already are a homeowner, a home inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help you avoid costly future repairs. If you are planning to sell your home, a home inspection can give you the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
Do you have any affiliation with real estate agents?
No. We are not concerned with the sale of the property. Our mission is to make sure that the client knows everything he or she needs to know about the property. We provide the information needed to make a decision. That information explains only the existing conditions.
How long does your typical home inspection take?
A typical inspection requires roughly 2-5 hours to complete, but it is not uncommon for an inspection to take longer.
When will I receive my report?
Usually within 24 hours from inspection by email (unless otherwise agreed upon). The report will include the invoice for service.
