Our home inspections provide you with peace of mind by making you aware of any defect in the home that could need a costly repair or could compromise your safety.
A home inspection is one of the most important steps of your home buying process. It is your definitive proof of any property problems, shedding light into the condition of your investment and allowing you to bring up and negotiate issues with the seller, as most home purchase agreements are contingent upon the results of a home inspection.
During the home inspection we will walk through the home with you, answering any questions you might have and sharing with you as much as you want to learn.
Our home inspections can last between 2.5 hours to 4 hours, depending on the square footage and the condition of the house.
After the home inspection, we will provide you with a comprehensive and detailed report with pictures and images outlining any deficiencies found during the inspection and recomendations.
