Home Inspection Services

When you hire a home inspector, you are hiring an experienced professional who has training and experience in the building industry. It is his job to not only evaluate the condition of the house's major systems and structural integrity, but also to evaluate how these systems are working together and identify areas needing to be watched, repaired, or replaced.

Your home inspector gives you the big picture analysis of the house you are buying. If the home inspector identifies the need for a costly, detailed analysis of any of the houses' systems or structures, the inspector will recommend the appropriate professional, who may be an experienced engineer with expertise analyzing that particular system or structure.   However, the need for this kind of expensive, detailed analysis is rare.

Hiring a Professional Engineer on your own can be disappointing. The term Professional Engineer does not mean  the individual has training or experience conducting home inspections. Additionally, a home inspection does not involve engineering analysis. Therefore, hiring a Professional Engineer to complete a home inspection costs more, but it may not give you the results you desire.

Our home inspection service is a visual inspection of the accessible structural elements and systems which are accessible. These typically include:

  1. Foundation
  2. Roofing
  3. Exterior, walls, siding etc...
  4. Porches and decks
  5. Attic
  6. Electrical systems
  7. Plumbing systems
  8. Interior
  9. Doors and windows
  10. Heating and air conditioning systems
  11. Ventilation
  12. Fireplaces

We encourage you to accompany the inspector.  This way you can ask questions and gain a better understanding of the systems in the home.

If you have any questions, or are interested in any other services, please contact us so we may discuss your needs.
