What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a comprehensive look at a home
by a qualified professional. It is designed to inform
you of the condition of the property, the life expentancy
of its major systems. A home inspection will give you
"the big picture" of your decision, the estimated
maintenance and cost of repairs. We include a free mold inspection and thermography scan with every home inspection.
How long will my home inspection take?
A basic home inspection will depend on the size of the
house, its condition, and age. Generally speaking,
a home inspection will take around two to three hours on average.
Should the buyer be present at their home inspection?
In one word, definitely! The home inspector will give you
valuable insight into the home as you go through your
inspection. Some issues with home inspections are best
pointed out with the customer and the inspector together.
Why do I need a home inspection?
Purchasing a home is a big decision for everyone. It
is very important to know as much as you can before
making a decision. A home inspection can save you time
and costly repairs as well as give you a good understand
of a home before you by it.
What does a home inspection include?
The home and all of its major structures and systems
will be inspected. This includes the condition of the
homes plumbing and electrical systems, heating and air
conditioning systems, roof, foundation, attic, walls,
doors, windows and all visible structures. An on-site
report will be generated for your inspection and digital

What happens if something is wrong with the house that I was not aware of?
Our inspections are designed to give you an overview
of the condition of the home. If a major problem turns
up during the inspection the buyer may try to negotiate
with the seller. It is best that the buyer has a home
inspection in order to avoid discovering needed costly
repairs after they move in. For the seller it is important
that they know the condition of their home to avoid
this surprise also.
