A typical inspection should take 2 to 4 hours to complete. This can vary, given the current condition and size of the home, the accessibility of mechanical systems, and so on.
We inspect the major systems of the house. These include the Roof, Exterior, Structure, Electrical, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Insulation, and Interior. Our goal is to identify any existing problems that would affect a buyer's decision to purchase.
The cost of the Home Inspection is determined by many factors including size and type of home. Our inspections start at $350.00 for single-family homes and start at $275.00 for condos.
- Complete home inspection conducted by an experienced professional.
- Comprehensive written home inspection report.
While it is pefectly fine for you to be present during the inspection, we encourage you to attend the later part of the inspection process. It's best for the inspector to conduct the initial inspection without distraction, and there will be areas the client cannot follow the inspector such as the roof. We are never in a hurry and the inspector will be happy to take the time to do a walk around with the client to discuss thier findings and answer any questions. This is a valuable learning experience, particularly for new homebuyers.
We recommend that you not bring your family; this is a technical evaluation, and you will be interacting with the inspector — the fewer distractions, the better.
You do receive a written report. It would be unfair to ask you to remember all of the things we cover during a home inspection. The report includes a summary of the condition of the home and details on all the major systems of the home. It is delivered within 24 hours after the inspection.
No. Our goal is to report on the condition of the house, indicating potential repairs and expenses. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether or not you buy the house. The home inspection is very important but it is only one piece of the puzzle. Only you know all of the factors at play. Your real estate professional can help you here.
