Frequiently Asked Questions
A home inspection is a professional, complete visual
examination of the all the systems and physical structural
elements of a home. Our emphasis is on identifying existing
or potential problems that would affect a purchasers buying
decision
A home is the largest purchase most people will ever make.
It only makes sense to find out as much as you can about
the house you are interested in before you buy. That way
you can avoid costly surprise repairs and problems with
your new home.
Our standard inspection report covers all the major systems
and structural elements of the house. This includes the
condition of the homes heating and air conditioning
systems, plumbing and electrical systems, roof, foundation,
attic and visible insulation, walls, doors, windows and all
visible structures.
No, you aren't required to be there for the inspection. But we
highly recommend that you be present. It's a valuable
learning experience for most people and will help you get
the most benefit from the inspection. By following the
inspector you can ask questions directly and the inspector
can explain maintenance tips for specific areas. We feel
youll be able to best understand the finished report and get
the most benefit from it by having been there during the
inspection.
The time will vary depending on both the size and condition
of the home. For most homes, 3 hours is pretty typical. But
for larger homes, or homes in poor condition, it may take
longer.
Absolutely. A professional inspection of a new home is
important. We can spot potential problems early, while they
are still easy to correct. Its especially valuable to arrange an
inspection before the interior walls are finished. As building
professionals, we may find problem areas where the builder
has taken shortcuts or not done good work.
Chances are that even if you are very familiar with home
construction, you still dont have the knowledge, training and
experience of a professional Home Inspector. Weve
inspected thousands of homes. We are not only familiar with
all the systems of a home, and how they work and need to
be maintained, but we also know what to look for to tell us
that they are getting ready to fail. But beyond the technical
expertise and experience a professional inspector brings, it
is important to remember that the inspector remains an
impartial third party. If you are involved in buying or selling a
house, its impossible for you to remain completely
unemotional about the house, and this may cloud your
judgment. The professional inspector will provide an
objective outside reporting of the facts..
Our report will tell you the condition of the house, including
needed repairs and expenses. No house is going to be
perfect. It is up to you to decide how any problems the
inspection uncovers might affect your decision to purchase.
If major problems are discovered, you may want to try
negotiating with the seller to have them repaired before
closing the deal. Or perhaps the seller will lower the price,
or offer more favorable contract terms. In the end, the
decision rests with you, but knowing about potential
problems, before you buy, gives you the power to negotiate
and make the best decisions..
No. The code of ethics of The National Association of
Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI) prohibits its members
from doing repair work on properties they inspect. This
assures that there will never be any conflict of interest by
the inspector. Our purpose is to provide an unbiased,
objective third party report on the condition of the home.
