The primary aim of a Home Inspection is to help the buyer understand the
condition of the home’s major structural, mechanical and electrical
components as they affect the investment value and fundamental utility of
the property.
Our Home Inspections are a comprehensive visual examination of the
physical structure and systems of the home (interior & exterior). They are
also an educational tool for the home buyer to learn how the systems
operate, how to determine if there is a serious problem with any system, and
what maintenance will be required. When inspecting the exterior we will
climb up on the roof, if safe.
The seller of the property should be made aware that the Home Inspection
will require approximately 2 to 3 hours. Also, that the Home Inspector will
have to gain access to all areas of the house, including the attic.
Our Home Inspectors use their experience, skills, clues and personal
knowledge to determine the condition of the components. We will explain the
condition of the components so that the buyer understand them. We will also
point out the positive and negative aspects of the home.
The buyer will receive a comprehensive written report at the time of
the inspection or E-mailed the next day, documenting the conditions that were explained during
the inspection. The report will also include Cost Projections for needed
repairs.
Included with the written report will be our Home Owners Manual, (8 1/2 X

1. Homeowners Maintenance Manual (9 pages)
2. Energy Saving Tips (16 pages with graphics)
3. Basement Water Penetration Manual (32 pages with graphics)

5. Life Expectancies of Residential Building Components (3 pages)

With our Home Inspection Report, Home Owners Manual and the education gained during the Home
Inspection process the buyer should have a clear understanding of the home
they are about to purchase and they will be able to make a more informed,
confident decision.
We also offer complimentary telephone counseling on such matters as
clarification of points raised in the report, home maintenance, projected
repairs and improvements.
