What is involved in a home inspection?
Who I am
A home inspection is a visual inspection of all of the home's systems including plumbing, heating, electrical, roofing, insulation and
interior and exterior structure. All inspections are performed according to the standards of practice and code of ethics of the
American Society of Home Inspectors. The inspection will take approximately three hours and is very thorough. You are encouraged to be present at the time of the inspection and will receive a written report immediately upon completion of the inspection along with an estimate of major repair costs. Afterward you may call at anytime free of charge if you have any questions about the home.
