What exactly is a home inspection?

A home inspection is a professional consulting service that determines the present condition of the home’s major systems, based on a visual inspection of accessible features. It focuses on the performance of the home, rather than cosmetic, code or design issues. Inspections are often performed during a real estate transaction but may be done anytime.

  • Primarily a visual examination
  • Intended to identify components that are significantly deficient, unsafe or near the end of their life

What Clients Say

It was a pleasure to meet Chris, the Inspector. Very friendly, professional and has alot of knowledge on homes and acreage, especially on fire safety. Quick on responding, great on details and Chris being available for any possible future questions, is great to know.

I had Chris inspect an older home and I anticipated issues due to the age of the home. Chris did a very thorough inspection and took the time to go over the significance of each issue. This allowed me to bring in a truss designer, roofer, WETT inspector and electrician. At the end I an comfortable with the work that is required on this house and I will proceed with the purchase. I truly appreciate Chris' professionalism and candor in reviewing his report. This ensured I went into the purchase of this home knowing what needs to be done and what can be included in the 5 year plan. Thanks again.
