A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of defects and deficiencies, so that you will have the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.
Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take between two and fours hours. We encourage client participation at the end of the inspection, so that you’ll have visual reinforcement of your written report.
We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found, where we found it and recommendations for corrective action. Free telephone consultations are always available after your inspection |
