Home Inspections

A professional home inspection is a very important part in the process of purchasing a home. It helps the buyer make a sound purchasing decision. A home inspection should be done by a qualified person who can tell you what is wrong with the property and how to correct the problem. A regular home inspector cannot give counsel on structural problems and will have to refer you to a licensed engineering firm. Hire an engineer and your clients will pay only once.

What kind of information can you expect from a professional home inspection?
Our inspections include the following areas: ground drainage, exterior, roofing system, interiors, electrical, heating, air conditioning and plumbing systems, garage, patios, and porches. Consumers should not expect their reports to include the condition of every nail, wire, or pipe in the home. However, any visible deficiencies and/or safety related concerns should be in the report along with what needs to be done to correct the deficiencies.

We require the buyer to be present during the inspection and ask questions. We are there to be helpful and provide as much information as possible during our engineering inspection. We will issue a written report based on the inspector's findings. This report is written in paragraph form and is very easy to understand.

A professional home inspection may save the buyer money. Often times, the inspections enables the buyer to negotiate with the owner of the property to have the deficiencies corrected or reduce the price of the home.
