What to Expect
A home inspection is a limited visual inspection, well what does that mean. It means that as a home inspector we don't dig, pry or open up anything that would not be easily accessible to the homeowner. We are not there to cause damage or engage in any sort of invasive means of inspection. We utilize a top/down, outside/in approach. The inspection time will vary based on size, condition, number of potential issues and ensuring we have answered all of your questions or concerns, but plan on a few hours.
Although we invite you to be present and with us throughout the building inspection, there are some things that we do not allow you to do for safety reasons. Your safety, the safety of those present and ours is our highest priority during a Home Inspection . Quite honesty there are some places you just don't want to go so let the home inspector do the work for you and we will share our findings when we are done with that part of the inspection.
There is a lot of information to take in when buying a home or making an investment, no worries and no need to take notes. We use a digital inspection software called Spectora that we believe provides you with the absolute best home inspection report format that is not only informative but easy to use. You will be provided a link to access your report from anywhere. Your report is sent only to you unless you have provided the home inspector with permission to share your report with a specific party.
