WHAT IS AND WHY DO A HOME INSPECTION?
Your home inspector will check all of the systems, appliances, and structures in your home to evaluate its condition. You’ll get a written report that identifies potential problems and future maintenance issues. We’ll look at it together to decide whether the report means you want to walk away from a house or ask the sellers to make repairs. You can also have an “information only” inspection, which means you’re buying the home as-is, but want to know its condition.

THE INSPECTOR WILL CHECK:
Structural conditions such as the foundation, beams, and floors.
Roof condition.
Mechanical systems such as heat and air conditioning.
Appliances – to make sure they’re working.
Plumbing – for leaks, rust, and water pressure.
Electrical systems such as grounded outlets and code violations.
Safety issues such as stairs, handrails, mold, or chimney maintenance.

WHAT SHOULD I WATCH FOR DURING THE HOME INSPECTION?
The Home Inspector will show you what you need to know about the home’s maintenance. The inspector can answer questions as you go, so if there’s anything you don’t understand or are worried about, ask.

I’VE GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT, NOW WHAT? We will order your Porch Repair Report so you can decide whether to negotiate on anything in the inspection report.

Do I need another inspection by an electrician or a structural engineer?

We’ll be your partner in helping you understand the implications of the home inspection.
