Process

Our certified inspectors conduct a thorough evaluation of your potential home, examining all major systems including the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structure. The inspection typically takes 2-4 hours depending on property size. We encourage buyers to attend the final 30-60 minutes to ask questions, see issues firsthand, and learn about proper home maintenance. Within 24 hours, you'll receive a detailed digital report with photos and clear explanations of all findings, organized by priority level.

Results

A comprehensive inspection report empowers you to make informed decisions about your purchase. Use findings to negotiate repairs with the seller, request price reductions, or walk away if issues are too severe. Understanding your home's condition before closing prevents costly surprises and gives you peace of mind. First-time buyers who invest in professional inspections save thousands in unexpected repairs and enter homeownership with confidence and realistic expectations about their property.
