What is a Home Inspection?
The Home Inspection is a comprehensive, unbiased professional analysis of the condition of the home’s major components, systems and construction by a certified, experienced professional Home Inspector. It provides you an expert opinion and a report on the condition of the physical structure and system components of the house. The inspector must conduct a visual inspection of the house and report on its condition.
Items that are inspected are:
- Exterior
- Roof
- Structural
- Attic
- Foundation
- Interior
- Kitchen
- Bathroom
- Plumbing
- Heating
- Air Conditioning Systems
- Electrical
- Garage
When the inspection is complete you will receive a report that summarizes the condition of the property, points out needs for maintenance, repairs and items that will need attention in the future.
*Although it is not necessary to be present at the inspection, it is highly recommended that you do attend so I can answer questions you may have and so I can explain things to you during the home inspection process.
