INSPECTION OVERVIEW

A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspector will give you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.

How Long Does a House Inspection Take?

Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take no more than four hours, usually between an hour and a half and three hours. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.

I take my 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 I've found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. My inspectors also provide a free telephone consultation after your inspection.
