What is a home inspection?

A home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s major systems and components, including the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more. It provides buyers, sellers, and homeowners with a clear understanding of the home’s condition.

Do I need to be present during the inspection?

While it’s not required, we strongly encourage buyers and sellers to attend the inspection. This provides an opportunity to ask questions and get a better understanding of the home’s condition firsthand.

Can a home fail an inspection?

No, a home inspection is not a pass/fail test. It is an unbiased assessment of the property’s condition, highlighting any safety concerns, defects, or maintenance issues that may need attention.

Do new homes need an inspection?

Yes! Even new construction homes can have defects, incomplete work, or unprofessional installs. A home inspection ensures everything is up to standards before you move in.

Should I get a pre-listing inspection?

A pre-listing inspection helps sellers identify and fix issues before listing their home, reducing surprises and strengthening their negotiating position.

How long does a home inspection take?

A typical home inspection takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Additional services like septic testing or a sewer scope may extend the time.

Do you provide termite or wood-destroying insect inspections?

Yes, we inspect for termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-destroying insects to assess any structural damage or risk factors.
