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 found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. Our inspectors also provide a free telephone consultation after your inspection.
