A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of problems
and their possible solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.
Depending
on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will generally take between three to five hours. You
are welcome to accompany your inspector during the inspection procedure, so that you will have visual reinforcement of the
written report.
We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis
of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found with
any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. Our inspectors also provide a free on site or telephone consultation
at the end of your inspection.

|
~ Roof - shingles, flashings, chimneys, vents, trim, gutters, drip edges, skylights, downspouts, and other
visible roof related items.
