A home inspection is a professional, complete visual examination
of the all the systems and physical structural elements of a home.
Our emphasis is on identifying existing or potential problems that
would affect a purchasers buying decision.
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 standard inspection report covers all the major systems and
structural elements of the house. This includes the condition of the
homes heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing and
electrical systems, roof, foundation, attic and visible insulation,
walls, doors, windows and all visible structures.
No, you aren't required to be there for the inspection. But we highly
recommend that you be present. It's a valuable learning
experience for most people and will help you get the most benefit
from the inspection. By following the inspector you can ask
questions directly and the inspector can explain maintenance tips
for specific areas. We feel youll be able to best understand the
finished report and get the most benefit from it by having been
there during the inspection.
The time will vary depending on both the size and condition of the
home. For most homes, 3 hours is pretty typical. But for larger
homes, or homes in poor condition, it may take longer.
Absolutely. A professional inspection of a new home is important.
We can spot potential problems early, while they are still easy to
correct. Its especially valuable to arrange an inspection before the
interior walls are finished. As building professionals, we may find
problem areas where the builder has taken shortcuts or not done
good work.
Chances are that even if you are very familiar with home
construction, you still dont have the knowledge, training and
experience of a professional Home Inspector. Weve inspected
thousands of homes. We are not only familiar with all the systems
of a home, and how they work and need to be maintained, but we
also know what to look for to tell us that they are getting ready to
fail. But beyond the technical expertise and experience a
professional inspector brings, it is important to remember that the
inspector remains an impartial third party. If you are involved in
buying or selling a house, its impossible for you to remain
completely unemotional about the house, and this may cloud your
judgment. The professional inspector will provide an objective
outside reporting of the facts.
Our report will tell you the condition of the house, including needed
repairs and expenses. No house is going to be perfect. It is up to
you to decide how any problems the inspection uncovers might
affect your decision to purchase. If major problems are discovered,
you may want to try negotiating with the seller to have them
repaired before closing the deal. Or perhaps the seller will lower
the price, or offer more favorable contract terms. In the end, the
decision rests with you, but knowing about potential problems,
before you buy, gives you the power to negotiate and make the
best decisions.
No. The code of ethics of The National Association of Certified
Home Inspectors (NACHI) prohibits its members from doing repair
work on properties they inspect. This assures that there will never
be any conflict of interest by the inspector. Our purpose is to
provide an unbiased, objective third party report on the condition of
the home.
