Buy with Confidence






What is a home inspection?
It is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of the home. A
home inspection is a “checkup” on your potential investment. If a problem or symptom is
discovered, we will make you aware of it and may even recommend a further evaluation.
A home inspection is not an insurance policy or a warranty. It is a method to assist you in
understanding your new home.
Why do I need a Home Inspection?
A home is most likely the largest investment you will ever make. You should learn as
much as you can about that investment before you buy. By knowing the condition of the
home, you can make an informed decision that can minimize unpleasant surprises that
appear after you purchase the home. A home inspection also points out the positive
aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good
shape.
Do I have to attend the Inspection?
While it is not necessary for you to be there, it is always recommended that you try and
accompany the inspector during the inspection. Each home is unique. Part of our
business is personal attention and by accompanying the inspector during the inspection,
we can begin to help you understand your home. The inspection is designed to be an
educational experience.
Can a house fail a home inspection?
Homes cannot fail an inspection! No home is perfect. Our professional inspection is an
examination of the current condition of the prospective home. The inspection will indicate
any major of minor items that need attention. This information can then be used for your
decision making process on the purchase of the home.
How do you report the information on the house?
You will receive an easy to read, detailed report. The report will contain any problem
items that need to be addressed as well as maintenance tips. It has digital images to help
you get a clear understanding of what is being reported. It will be available within 24
hours and can be delivered by e-mail, fax, or mailed depending on your preference. The
report can also be made available to your Real Estate agent.
How long will the Inspection take?
The time for an inspection can vary depending upon the size of the home. A typical
inspection takes between 2 to 3 hours. The inspection may take longer if it is a large
home or the home is in poor condition.
Can I do the inspection myself?
Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a
professional home inspector. A professional home inspector has the experience, depth
of knowledge and training to make an unbiased and informed report of the condition of a
property. An inspector is familiar with the many elements of home construction, systems
and their proper installation and maintenance.
If the house proves to be in good condition, did I really need an inspection?
Yes. Now you can complete your home purchase with confidence about the condition of
the property and all its equipment and systems. From the inspection, you will have
learned many things about your new home, and will want to keep that information for
future reference.

Give us a call at (800) 531-0233! We value you as a customer and our service to you
does not end at the conclusion of the inspection. We are available to answer any
questions about the report as well as help with any maintenance issues you have in the
future. We are just a phone call away.
