Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Home Inspection?
A Home Inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation.
Do you need an Inspection?
Yes, purchasing a home is the largest investment you will ever make. Gaining insight into the general condition of the building systems gives you the necessary facts to make an informed buying decision.
Should I attend the inspection?
Yes, if at all possible. This gives you the opportunity to ask the inspector any questions you may have about the home.
What if the report reveals a problem?
No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies problems, it doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t buy the house, only that you will know in advance what to expect.

Typically an inspection takes 2 to 2- 1/2 hours.
How long does it take to receive a report?
24 to 48 hours.
