We inspect the major systems of the house. These include the Roof, Exterior, Structure, Electrical, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Insulation, and Interior. Our goal is to identify any existing major problems that would affect a typical buyer’s decision to purchase.

Yes. We encourage clients to attend the inspection whenever possible. This provides an opportunity to learn more about the property, discuss observations directly with the inspector and ask questions throughout the inspection.

You do not need to take detailed notes during the inspection. Important observations are documented in the inspection report. We recommend focusing on the inspection, listening to the inspector’s comments and asking questions whenever clarification is needed.

Absolutely! You may want to bring some questions that you have regarding the home. You should also feel free to stop the inspector and ask questions as you go. If the inspector’s comments or explanations are not clear, please ask for further explanation.

Dress comfortably and be prepared to spend several hours at the property. Clients are not expected to access roofs, attics, crawlspaces or other areas that may require specialized equipment or protective clothing.

We recommend that you not bring your family; this is a technical evaluation, and you should focus on the inspector’s comments – the fewer distractions, the better.

Yes. You will receive a detailed electronic inspection report that includes photographs, observations and recommendations covering the major accessible systems and components of the home. The completed report is typically delivered electronically within 24 to 48 hours following the inspection.

No. Our goal is to report on the condition of the house, indicating potential repairs and expenses. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether or not you buy the house. The home inspection is very important but it is only one piece of the puzzle. Only you know all the factors at play.

A home inspection is a professional opinion based on less-than-complete information. It’s a little like getting a check-up from your doctor: It improves your odds of good health but there is no guarantee or warranty. Some problems can only be discovered by living in a house – they cannot be discovered during a home inspection. For example, some shower stalls leak when people use the shower but don’t leak when you simply turn on the shower. Some roofs and basements only leak when specific weather conditions exist. Some problems will only be discovered when carpets are lifted, furniture is moved or finishes are removed. As such, we cannot and do not offer a warranty on the house.
