A HOME INSPECTION is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation. Having a home inspected is like giving it a physical check-up. If problems or symptoms are found, the inspector will educate you on these issues and make recommendations so you’ll be better informed when taking corrective measures.
Home Inspections are predomnantly done for home buyers but are increasingly getting done by home sellers, builders, and homeowners.
Home Inspections are done on all types of houses, old, and new alike.
The primary objective of the home inspection is to identify and report any significant issues that may represent exspensive repairs or safety concerns.
An experienced professional inspector will take an average of 2 to 3 hours to complete a thorough examination of all the home systems. You’re invited to acompany the inspector during this process. He/she will also discuss the findings with you and will document them in a detailed written report with photos.
