The home buying process can be confusing and stressful. Not only do you need to consider things such as price and location, you also have to worry about whether the house itself has any problems that could become costly surprises down the road.
As professional Home Inspectors, its our job to look for visible and accessible problems for you. The Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the house. It provides you an expert opinion and professional report on the condition of the physical structure and various systems within a house. Giving you peace of mind on what is likely the largest purchase youll ever make.
In order to prepare the report, an inspector must conduct a visual inspection of the house. The inspection process typically takes two to three hours to complete. This of course may vary, according to the size and condition of the home. We strongly encourage you to accompany the inspector during the inspection. This will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of the home.
We will inspect all the visible and accessible structural elements and systems of the home to the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Items that will typically be included in an inspection include:
Framing (structure)
Roof and attic
Foundation
Walls
Electrical system
Plumbing system
Heating and air conditioning systems
Kitchen
Bathrooms
Additional items and systems unique to a particular home can also be inspected.
When the inspection is complete, well tell you of problems that were discovered and discuss them with you. We will also tell you about any routine maintenance that should be performed, as well as answer any questions you may have.
Youll also receive a full written report at the conclusion of the inspection. This report will include a Manual for Operation that you should find very useful in maintaining your new home.
Our goal is to discover and inform you of anything we find that might affect your purchase decision. We will tell you about any problems we find, and make repair recommendations. Well also inform you of what maintenance tasks are required to keep the home and its systems in top condition.
