Inspection Overview

A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspector gives you an independent, unbiased view of problems and their possible solutions, so that you will have the knowledge you need to make a sound, informed decision.

Depending on the size and condition of the home, an inspection will take between two and three hours. Rarely more than four hours. If at all possible, we encourage you to accompany your inspector during the inspection. We know who the boss is, we are working for you. Ask all the questions you want. That’s why we’re here.

The inspector will have a 20+ page report ready for you before you leave the property. We review all of our reports at the end of the day and E-mail copies to you and your agent, usually within 24 hours.

If you cannot attend the inspection, we will provide the printed report to your agent and E-mail the report to you. After reviewing your report, please call your inspector so we can discuss the inspection and answer your questions.

We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. There is a summary page at the end of each report will list safety concerns and areas in need of repair.

A thorough home inspection will include the following:

~ Roof (shingles, flashings, chimneys, vents, trim and gutters, drip edges, skylights, downspouts, and other visible roof related items)

 

~ Attics (insulation, ventilation, rafters, joists and collar ties, trusses, wiring attachments, and other visible related items)
