What is a home inspection?
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.
What does a full home inspection include?
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.
What is a pre-drywall inspection?
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.
How long does a home inspection take?
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.
Will I receive a report, and how soon?
Yes. You'll receive a clear, detailed report documenting our findings — typically a same-day report — highlighting both the home's positive features and any areas of concern.
Should I attend the inspection?
You're welcome to attend. Being present lets you see any findings firsthand and ask our inspector questions about the home.
