What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from foundation to roof. A home inspector is trained to be a detective in regard to the construction and working parts of homes.
Home Inspection Report
We provide a home inspection report describing the condition of the home. When problems are found we will recommend further evaluation or remedies.
Home Inspections for Home Buyers
Buying a house can be stressful and requires countless important decisions. When you find a house you should hire a thorough home inspector to inspect the condition of the home and give you a detailed home inspection report. Having a detailed home inspection report before you move in will prepare you for any potential problems and set your mind at ease.
Home Inspection for Home Sellers
A professional home inspection is also very valuable for home sellers. By getting a home inspection before putting your house on the market you can get a better understating of the condition of your home before putting up the for sale sign. This will make the selling process easier.

What if the report reveals problems?
If a home inspection reveals problems it does not necessarily mean you should not buy the house. The home inspection is meant to educate you in advance of the purchase of the condition of the property.
Why do I need a home Inspection?
A home purchase may be the largest investment of you life. Before you purchase the property you should learn as much as you can including what may need to be repaired.
A home inspection will also point out the positive aspects of a home, as well as required ongoing maintenance that will be needed to keep the property in good shape. By having a professional home inspection you will have a clearer understating of the home you are purchasing so you can make a confident decision.
A home inspection can also be valuable if you have owned your home for a long period of time. The inspection can identify potential problems and recommend solutions that will potentially save you a great deal of money in the future.
