Home Inspections | Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is a professional, complete visual examination of the all the systems and physical structural elements

Why do I need a Home Inspection?
A home is the largest purchase most people will
ever make. It only makes sense to find out as much
as you can about the house you are interested in
before you buy. That way you can avoid costly
surprise repairs and problems with your new home.
Our report will also advise you of what
maintenance is required to keep your home in top
condition. A professional inspection will give you a
clear picture of the many systems and structural
elements that make up the property. If you are
selling your home, a listing inspection will point out
any potential problems that might be uncovered
later by the buyers inspector. Finding them early
will allow you to address them before listing your
home, making for a faster and smoother sale.

What does a Home Inspection include?
Our standard inspection report covers all the major systems and structural elements of the house. This includes the
condition of the homes heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical systems, roof, foundation, attic
and visible insulation, walls, doors, windows and all visible structures.
Do I need to be there during the Inspection?
No, you aren't required to be there for the inspection. But we highly recommend that you be present. Its a valuable
learning experience for most people and will help you get the most benefit from the inspection. By following the
inspector you can ask questions directly and the inspector can explain maintenance tips for specific areas. We feel
you'll be able to best understand the finished report and get the most benefit from it by having been there during the
inspection.
How long will the Inspection take?
The time will vary depending on both the size and condition of the home. For most homes, 3 hours is pretty typical.
But for larger homes, or homes in poor condition, it may take longer.

Does a newly constructed home need an Inspection?
Absolutely. A professional inspection of a new home is important. We can spot potential problems early, while they are
still easy to correct. It's especially valuable to arrange an inspection before the interior walls are finished. As building
professionals, we may find problem areas where the builder has taken shortcuts or not done good work.
Why cant I do the Inspection myself?
Chances are that even if you are very familiar with home construction, you still don't have the knowledge, training and
experience of a professional Home Inspector. We've inspected thousands of homes. We are not only familiar with all
the systems of a home, and how they work and need to be maintained, but we also know what to look for to tell us
that they are getting ready to fail. But beyond the technical expertise and experience a professional inspector brings, it is
important to remember that the inspector remains an impartial third party. If you are involved in buying or selling a
house, its impossible for you to remain completely unemotional about the house, and this may cloud your judgment.
The professional inspector will provide an objective outside reporting of the facts.
What if the Inspection uncovers problems?
Our report will tell you the condition of the house, including needed repairs and expenses. No house is going to be
perfect. It is up to you to decide how any problems the inspection uncovers might affect your decision to purchase. If
major problems are discovered, you may want to try negotiating with the seller to have them repaired before closing the
deal. Or perhaps the seller will lower the price, or offer more favorable contract terms. In the end, the decision rests
with you, but knowing about potential problems, before you buy, gives you the power to negotiate and make the best
decisions.
Will you fix the problems you find during the Inspection?
No. The code of ethics of The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) prohibits its members from doing repair
work on properties they inspect. This assures that there will never be any conflict of interest by the inspector. Our
purpose is to provide an unbiased, objective third party report on the condition of the home.
