Home Inspections

What’s a Home Inspection and Why do I Need One?

A home inspection is a thorough and methodical visual inspection of a home’s structural, mechanical, and safety components and systems, and a written report of the observed conditions. For most of us, buying a home is probably one of the most expensive purchases we’ll ever make. Before purchasing a house to become your family’s home, it should be thoroughly inspected to make sure there are no safety issues, and also to determine any deficiencies that will need expensive repairs. Not having a home inspected at the time of purchase can turn your “dream home” into your worst nightmare.   We know the questions you need answers to, and will endeavor to make your investment worthwhile.  If the house isn’t sound, we’ll tell you what needs to be done to the house to make it so.  Do not allow yourself to be pressured into buying without an honest representation of what you’re getting.  Our goal is to make sure you’re aware of the home’s reality. We do also offer commercial inspections for other properties.

Ours are the Most Thorough

Even though it’s called a “General Home Inspection,” it is rather extensive and includes the foundation, framing, roofing, exterior finishes, exterior water control systems and drainage, doors and windows, interior finishes, insulation and thermal barriers, porches, decks, stairs and rails, safety alarms, plumbing and water heating, heating and air conditioning, electrical service and distribution, ventilation systems, kitchen appliances, limited environmental issues, and garage systems.
