What is a professional home inspection?
A professional inspection is a comprehensive, unbiased analysis of the condition of the home's major components, systems, and construction by a certified professional inspector. A digital report with photos detailing the inspector's findings is delivered at the site. We help our clients become familiar with their home and educate them about the type of construction, maintenance, and the condition of the home.

Why do I need a home inspection?
We help to eliminate risks, eliminate surprises, and provide you peace of mind. A professional inspection points out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After an inspection, both parties have a much clearer understanding of the value and needs of the property. For homeowners, a professional inspection may be used to identify problems in the making and to learn about preventive measures, which might avoid costly future repairs. We can alert you to potential hazards. If you are planning to sell your home, an inspection prior to placing your home on the market provides a better understanding of conditions which may be discovered by the buyer's inspector and gives you an opportunity to make repairs.
Back to TopCan a house fail a home inspection?
No. A professional inspection is an analysis of the current condition of your home. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value, or a municipal inspection, which verifies compliance to local codes and standards. Our inspectors will not pass or fail a house. Our inspectors describe the physical condition of a property and indicate what may need repair or replacement.
Back to TopHow long will the inspection take?
Most inspections take about two to three hours. These times may vary depending on the size, age, and condition of the home.
Back to TopDo I have to be present for the inspection?
While it is not necessary for you to be present, we encourage you to join the inspector for at least a portion of the time. This allows you to observe the inspector, ask questions as you learn about the condition of the home, how its' systems work, and how to maintain them.
Back to TopWhat if the home inspection report reveals problems?
No house is perfect. When the inspector identifies problems, it does not indicate you should not buy the house. His findings serve to educate you in advance of the purchase about the condition of the property.
