Approximately 2 to 3 hours. The length of the inspection varies on the condition, size, and style of the home. Some clients do not have the time to be present for the entire process. Some prefer to simply be present at the end of the process so we may discuss the findings of the inspection. I offer various means of receiving a report. Written paper printed (this type will take longer as it will be mailed by US First Class Mail), Flash Drive (extra cost for flash drive and extra time as it will be mailed by US First Class Mail ) or E-mailed within 48 hours of completion (which this is the fastest mode to receive your report).
