Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take around three to four hours. Ideally, you should be present during the inspection, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report. It is not necessary for you to crawl in the crawl space or attic with your inspector, but being present on site will allow us to show you through digital photos the issues found and their exact locations.
We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what We've found with any problem areas noted, with digital photos so you can easily identify them. We also provide a free telephone consultation after your inspection should you have any questions.
