-
Does a new home need to be inspected?Don’t be fooled that a new home is flawless, simply because it is new, or was inspected and approved by the local building officials. Even new homes are not immune from defects or exempt from human error. Mistakes happen. Quality is often sacrificed for saving time or money or is a result of contractors with poor skills. This unfortunate myth is often busted. Even when the builder warrants the work for one full year, such guaranties are of no benefit unless inherent defects are discovered. Construction defects and safety violations are surprisingly common, but the majority of home inspection findings tend to be routine in nature.
-
What other services do you recommend?A sewer scope and radon test are important but optional services. We highly recommend them for all homes.
-
Do I need a radon test if the home has a mitigation system installed?To ensure the system is reducing the radon level in the home you should have it tested prior to purchase and every 2-years. It is not uncommon for a homes with a radon mitigation system to have radon levels that exceed the EPA action level if 4.0 pCi/L.
-
The home does not have a basement, do I still need a radon test?The EPA recommends all homes be tested. It is not uncommon for homes without basements to have elevated levels of radon.
-
What are the most common defects?While it is impossible to list everything an inspector could possibly check for, the following list will give you a general idea of what to expect. The most common defects are: Roofing Defects; Ceiling Stains, Indicating Past or Current Roof Leaks; Water Intrusion Electrical Safety Hazards; Faulty Installation, Building Violations Hazardous Conditions Involving Gas Heaters Violations In Garages Minor plumbing defects Failed seals around windows Sewer Line damage Elevated levels of Radon Gas This small list of likely home inspection findings would probably occur in most used homes.
-
Am I allowed to be at the inspection?Yes, you’re welcome to be there the entire time but it is not required. You can be right in our hip pocket. You can ask as many questions as you'd like. We'll do our best to answer them. However we would like to remain focused on our inspection process. We do recommend you attend at least the first half hour for to discuss any concerns that you have regarding the condition of the home. Or the last half hour rap-up, once we complete the inspection. We can then provide you with a full walkthrough of our findings and take the time to ensure all your questions are answered.
-
Will you price match?The simple answer is no. We know the value of our experience, expertise and service. You can always find a cheaper company, but is it worth hiring that person? Would you be comfortable using the cheapest inspector for your biggest investment? Probably not. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. You are paying for our knowledge and our experience that is unmatched!

-
Can I see a sample report?Yes. A sample report is available in the "Services" section of our website.
-
So what happens after the Home Inspection?Often negotiation of the inspection objection items take longer than negotiating the price of the home. Many home buyers are under the impression that the sellers must repair the problems discovered by home inspectors? This is a common misunderstanding about the purpose of a home inspection. The purpose of a home inspection is not to corner the seller with a repair list or renegotiate the selling price. The primary objective is to know what you are buying before you buy it. We will be glad to answer any follow-up questions you have regarding the condition of the home.
