Most people hire an inspector to check the roof, exterior, foundation, basement, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating, fireplaces, air conditioning, insulation, and the interior of the home. The inspection does not reveal information on concealed areas or items not inspected. A professional home inspection by a Certified Home Inspector is a snapshot of the home as it exists on the day of the inspection. A quality inspection can relieve the buyer of doubts about the condition of the property. After all, home purchase is our largest investment.
Home Inspectors are generalists with broad knowledge on many topics.
Some are engineers and some are not. The home inspector conducts a visual inspection and prepares a report reflecting the condition of the property on the day of inspection. A professional inspector must be well-versed in all areas of residential construction and have good communication skills. Home inspectors provide unbiased opinions based on their professional expertise.
