What Is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a professional, thorough and complete (top to bottom) visual examination of all the systems and physical, structural elements of a home. Our main goal is to identify existing or potential problems that would affect the health, safety and/or structural integrity of the home.
Why Do I Need a Home Inspection?
A home is the largest purchase most people will ever make. It only makes sense to find out as much as you can about the house you are interested in before you buy. That way, you can avoid costly surprise repairs and problems with your new home. Our report will also advise you of what maintenance is required to keep your home in top condition.
A professional inspection will give you a clear picture of the many systems and structural elements that make up the property. If you are selling your home, a listing inspection will point out any potential problems that might be uncovered later by the buyer’s inspector. Finding them early will allow you to address them before listing your home, making for a faster and smoother sale.
What If the Inspection Uncovers Problems?
All homes have issues or concerns. Most are typical and manageable with a few of them being serious/costly. Our reports will highlight the serious/costly concerns and recommended repairs on a summary page, and the typical/manageable issues will be noted throughout the body of the report. In the end, knowing about the issues and concerns before you buy, gives you the ability to plan and make an informed decision.
