Inspection Overview
A home cannot fail an inspection.
A professional home inspection gives you
an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you
will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.
Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection
will take no more than four hours, usually between an hour and a half and three
hours. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the consultation, so
that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.
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 have found with any problem areas
noted, so you can easily identify them. Our home inspectors provide a free
telephone consultation after your inspection.
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)
