-
What does a home inspection cover?A home inspection covers all major systems and components from foundation to roof, including structural elements, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, windows, doors, and insulation. We follow established Standards of Practice to identify any material defects that could affect the property's value, safety, or habitability.
-
How long will the inspection take?Most inspections take between 2-4 hours, depending on the size, age, and complexity of your property. Larger homes or those with features like pools or detached structures may take a bit longer for a thorough inspection.
-
Is it recommended to attend the inspection?Absolutely! We encourage you to walk through the property with the inspector. This is a great opportunity to learn about the home's systems, ask questions, and understand any findings firsthand. It's also a perfect time to pick up some basic maintenance tips.
-
How much does an inspection cost?Inspection pricing varies based on property size, age, and services requested. Transparent pricing is provided upfront with no hidden fees. Please see the services page for more details or contact directly.
-
What do I get after the inspection?You'll receive a detailed digital report with photographs and descriptions of all findings, along with a comprehensive home maintenance guide. The report clearly explains any issues discovered and includes recommendations for addressing them. Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.
-
How do I know if an issue is serious?The inspection report highlights material defects in a summary section—these are issues that significantly impact safety, habitability, or property value. The inspector will explain the difference between major concerns requiring immediate attention and minor items that can be addressed over time.
-
What if something breaks after the inspection?A home inspection provides a snapshot of the property's condition on the day of inspection. While all accessible systems are thoroughly inspected, future failures cannot be predicted or guaranteed that components won't develop issues after the inspection date.
-
Are the services licensed and insured?Yes, the services are fully licensed, insured, and certified by InterNACHI®, the leading professional organization for home inspectors. Ongoing continuing education is completed to stay current with industry standards and best practices.
-
What advanced tools and technology are used during the inspection?We use advanced tools like infrared thermal cameras, moisture meters, electrical testers, and specialized equipment for hard-to-reach areas. These technologies help us identify issues that might not be visible during a standard visual inspection.
-
Can contractors for repairs be recommended?While repairs are not performed, referrals to qualified contractors can be provided when needed. The goal is to remain objective and independent while helping connect with trusted professionals for any necessary work.
