What is a home inspection?
All of our home inspections are conducted according to ASHI standards of practice. A home inspection is an objective, visual, and non-invasive examination of the systems and structure of a home, from the roof to the foundation. Having a home inspected is similar to getting a physical checkup. If a problem or symptom is discovered, the inspector may recommend further evaluation.
Keeping Things in Perspective.
We are here to help you understand the important issues relating to your home. We are sensitive to the emotions present during the transaction and know that the timely delivery of the message is as important as its content. When discussing problems, we may suggest solutions and maintenance programs. Please understand that our suggestions are by no means mandatory on the part of either the seller or buyer. We will offer valuable information giving you greater confidence in negotiations.
When do I receive my report?
You will receive your report by email within 24-hours of the inspection. We will additionally give you a verbal summary, explain features, and answer any questions that you may have at the conclusion of the inspection.
We strongly urge the buyer to be present for the review at the end of the inspection. By being present, you will have a far greater understanding of your new home and the report.
