Q: How do I choose a Home Inspector?
A: Call up and ask about their credentials and experience. If for some reason you
don't feel comfortable asking this of the inspector when speaking with them on the
phone then how will you feel asking questions at the inspection. You must feel that
the inspector is qualified, experienced and attentive of your needs.
Q: What will the inspection cover?
A: A thorough Inspection covers everything from roof to the foundation.
Items that are included in the Inspection are as follows:
• Attic
• Insulation
• Ventilation
• Roof & Flashings
• Gutters
• Basement
• Crawlspace
• Foundation
• Grading
• Retaining Walls

Q: How long will the Inspection take?
A:Most inspections will take approximately 1 hour per every 1,000 square feet.
These times may vary depending on the size, age and condition of the home.
Q: Should I be present during the Inspection?
A: We recommend that you be present at the site of the inspection, from start to
finish.
Q: Why use our Services?
A: The purchase of a new home is one of the single most costly investments that a
family will make. Along with the extra stresses this will add, there is also the fear
factor of, "Will This Home Stand The Test of Time?" It is also important to know what
YOU, as the primary investor, are getting for your money.
A home inspection is an excellent tool for you, the home buyer, to help determine
not only the condition of the home, but to also help foresee any immediate
unnecessary additional cost that may go unnoticed without the help of a home
inspection. Home inspections are not a prediction of future performance, but can
pinpoint existing problem areas
.
Q: Why can't I have someone in my family who is very handy or a contractor, inspect
my new home?
A: This is the biggest mistake many potential new homeowners make when
purchasing a home. Although the person you are considering may be very skilled,
they are not trained or experienced at professional home inspections. Professional
home inspection is a unique skill like no other. Professional inspectors get what we
call an inspector's instinct for problems. That instinct takes extensive training and
lots of experience doing inspections to develop. Many contractors, and other trades
professionals hire a professional home inspector to inspect their homes when they
make a purchase.
Q: What if I have questions after the inspection?
A: You can call us and discuss all the aspects of your new home whenever you like.
