Residential Services, Home Inspections

The purpose of the inspection is to determine whether various items in the house are working properly, or if they are in need of repair. There is no law that says that a house has to be in perfect order, and typically an inspection will reveal problems, usually minor, which should be repaired.

The buyer decides on an inspector, set an appointment, and tell the real estate agent (or seller) when the home needs to be opened for inspection. Typical inspections take from 1 ½ - 3 hours.

If the home is vacant, it is important that all utilities, such as electricity, gas, and water, are turned on. Otherwise the inspector cannot check some of the systems in the home.

The building report includes up to 25-page, bound, catalog presented in easy reading format to buyer. Catalog contains detailed description of home inspected. I.E., type of structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, appliance brand names and approximate ages of home components with industry expected life estimates. We offer on site computer generated building reports, and a Summary Of Defect Report, an additional report highlighting noted defects with recommendations and approximate costs to cure.
