What does a home inspection cover?
A typical home inspection evaluates the major systems and components of the home, from the chimney to the foundation. We inspect both visible and accessible areas of the property. If we can’t access a particular area, we’ll let you know.
Why do I need a home inspection?
A home inspection helps you understand the true condition of a property. It can reveal hidden issues that could cost you thousands in repairs later on. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just maintaining your home, an inspection gives you peace of mind and a clear picture of the property.
How long does a home inspection take?
Typically, home inspections take between 2-4 hours, depending on the size, age and condition of the property. You’re welcome to attend the inspection to ask questions as we go through the house.
How soon will I get my inspection report?
You’ll receive your detailed digital report within 24 hours after the inspection. The report will include photos, descriptions, and a summary of any issues we’ve found. We also offer follow-up support if you have any questions and same day turn around on reports if you are in a time crunch.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
While it’s not required, we strongly recommend that you attend the inspection to discuss the inspector’s findings when they have completed their examination. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions in real-time, see potential issues firsthand, and get a better understanding of your new home’s condition.
What if my house is new? Do I still need an inspection?
Yes! Even new homes can have issues, from minor cosmetic defects to overlooked construction problems. A new construction inspection can help identify these before the warranty expires and prevent costly repairs down the road.
Do you offer any additional services?
Yes! We offer a range of optional add-on services such as radon testing, mold assessments, termite inspections, and water quality testing. Please ask us for more information about these services.
