What to expect from your home inspection:

A thorough, professional, visual exam of a home while being objective will provide valuable information.

A professional inspection of all accessible components, regardless of the size of your home, will determine if there are any major defects or problem areas to be addressed before closing.

If you find yourself unable to attend the on-site visual inspection, I will gladly review concerns by phone with you with a written report to follow.

Digital photos of major discrepancies are included in your home inspection report.

Peace of mind and confidence are key in the minds of those making the largest investment of their lives.

Our inspection report provides the facts that allow an informed decision to be made in a timely manner.

Buying a home?

A home is the largest purchase most people will ever make.  It only makes sense to find out as much as you can about the house you are interested in before you buy.  That way you can avoid costly surprise repairs and problems with your new home. Our report will also advise you of what maintenance is required to keep your home in top condition.  A professional inspection will give you a clear picture of the many systems and structural elements that make up the property.

Selling a home?

If you are selling your home, a listing inspection will point out any potential problems that might be uncovered later by the buyer’s inspector.  Finding them early will allow you to address them before listing your home, making for a faster and smoother sale.
