Inspection Overview

We make every effort to provide you with a thorough home inspection. Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take around two to three hours on average. We encourage you to be present during the inspection, so that you will have visual reference of the findings in your written report. It is not necessary for you to crawl in the crawl space or attic with your inspector, but being present on site will allow us to show you through digital photos the issues found and their exact locations.

We take our home inspection reports seriously. Every home inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the Structural and System Components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we’ve found with any problem areas noted, with digital photos so you can easily identify them.
