Pre-Purchase Home Inspection(Buyer)
Our pre-purchase home inspection is a general "top-to-bottom" evaluation of the house structure and the major systems and components, such as the roof, electrical system, plumbing system, and air conditioning system.
On the surface, a home may appear to be in good shape, but our experience from inspecting both new and older homes tells us that structural issues, electrical defects, and other significant problems are prevalent and that minor deficiencies generally affect all properties. Also, major maintenance and repair costs -- such as the need for replacement of the roof or air conditioning system -- may be a near term or immediate concern.
Our intent is to provide you with the facts concerning the real condition of the home so that you may proceed with knowledge and confidence. With this information, you can go about getting any deficiencies taken care of on your own, determine whether proceeding with the purchase of the home is prudent, or perhaps use this knowledge to negotiate the terms of your home purchase.
11-month warranty inspection
Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. This is your opportunity to have a professional make your punch list. Some serious defects are not easily visible and can be very costly.
Environmental Hazards
Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert you to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your current or potential house.
POOL & SPA INSPECTION
Selling or buying a home with a pool or spa can be a costly feature.
