Home Inspection Services

A home inspection helps you make a more informed decision about the home you’re considering buying and can help identify potential issues. A thorough home inspection will also give you a good idea of the ongoing maintenance the property will require and can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs — or from unknowingly buying a money pit. During a home inspection, a visual assessment of a house’s physical structure and mechanical systems – including the roof, ceilings, walls, floors, windows and doors – is completed and a thorough report is provided that lists the inspection findings in great detail. The goal of a home inspection is to uncover any issues and give you a well-rounded outlook on your real estate investment.
