Why a home inspection?
A home inspection gives a buyer information you need to make a wise decision. In a home inspection, a qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potential home to:
Evaluate the physical condition; structure, construction, and mechanical systems
Identify items that need to be repaired or replaced
Estimate the remaining useful life of the major systems and equipment
Avoid unexpected surprises after the sale
Home inspections are not intended to point out every small problem or any non-visible defects in a home. Most minor or cosmetic flaws should be apparent without the aid of a professional. Home inspections highlight the positive aspects of a home. In fact, many of the home inspectors observations or recommendations help to dispel buyer anxieties, and provide useful repair and maintenance suggestions.
About The Home Inspection
I will conduct a thorough inspection of your home, inside and out.
As a NACHI-certified professional home inspector, I have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from roof to foundation.
Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then I will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. The heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and or crawl space.
Here are some of the many items I'll be looking at during your home inspection:
-
Foundation and support structure
