Frequently Asked Questions

A home inspection is a thorough, non-invasive visual assessment of a home's readily accessible systems and components. It gives you a clear, objective picture of the property's condition so you can make an informed decision before you buy or sell.

Our certified inspectors evaluate the home's major systems and components, including the roofing system; structural components; foundation; basement and crawl spaces; grading and drainage; driveways and walkways; porch and patio; garage; exterior (doors, windows, cladding, soffits, fascias); interior (doors, windows, floors, walls, ceilings, stairs); attic, ventilation and insulation; HVAC; electrical; plumbing; and built-in appliances.

A pre-drywall (or pre-cover) inspection is performed during construction, before the drywall is installed. It lets us examine the framing and the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical rough-ins while they are still visible and accessible, so issues can be caught while they are still easy and inexpensive to correct.

The time required varies depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. We take the time needed to examine every accessible area thoroughly rather than rushing the process.
