What to expect during your Inspection

A certified home inspector surveys the property and provides a detailed home inspection report to the buyer or seller.  We welcome our clients to walk along with us during the inspection.  This provides a great opportunity to ask questions and absorb important information about your home.  We can also focus on any specific areas of concern with hands on explanation. A comprehensive home inspection addresses major defects, the possibility of future major defects, safety hazards and some other considerable factors that can get in your way during financing or property occupation.
