Benefits of a Buyer's Inspection

Whether it's a massive safety issue, or a minor problem that could get worse, a thorough home inspection can help uncover hidden issues before you commit to the purchase.
Negotiation Tool
Having a thorough and detailed home inspection report can give you the leverage you need to better negotiate with the property's selling price.
Component Lifespans
A comprehensive home inspection can help provide insight into the lifespan of certain parts of your home, including, but not limited to, the roof, plumbing, and electrical systems.
Additional Services
Pre-Listing Inspection
Our Pre-Listing Inspection should be scheduled by interested home-sellers before a listing for the home is made. By comprehensively inspecting the home before it is shown, we can clue you in on potential issues that could make successful negotiations more difficult to attain. Since the listing hasn’t yet been published, you can make repairs as you see fit and otherwise prepare for disclosing known issues to prospective buyers to avoid complications later during the negotiating process.
New Construction Inspection
This investigative evaluation of new construction is designed to determine if there are issues with your new home before you commence with the closing process. Before the builder’s final walkthrough, we’ll assess the condition of most readily accessible home components—giving you the details about any deficiencies we discover so that you can pass along the information to the builder.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
This inspection service will help to ensure that you’re able to take advantage of your new home’s warranty before it expires. Most warranties issues by the builder of a home will expire after one year, and it’s important to learn about potential issues before that happens. We’ll investigate the readily accessible areas of the home, giving you the information you need about potential deficiencies so that you can then determine whether you or the builder will be responsible for the cost of repairs.
Loan Draw Inspection
Loan Draw Inspections are a wonderful asset to clients who want to ensure that construction on a new home proceeds with as few complications as possible. We’ll first review the terms of the loan agreement to get a clear idea of what the budget is and what details were agreed upon between both parties. We’ll then periodically inspect the jobsite, taking record of the materials stored on-site while also ensuring that the progress of construction appears to be compliant with any deadlines.
Re-inspections
When you schedule a Re-inspection, we’ll return to your prospective home to perform a second inspection once the seller has confirmed that negotiated repair work has been completed. We’ll carefully look over the repairs, checking for safety compliance and overall correctness so that you can have peace of mind as you prepare for final closing.
Commercial Property Inspection
This inspection service covers commercial buildings of most types, including storefronts, warehouses, offices, and many larger facilities. We’ll provide a comprehensive analysis of the property’s strengths and weaknesses, making you aware of potential defects so that you can make a safe investment decision.
Pool Inspection
This inspection service will give you detailed information about the condition of a home’s pool or spa. We’ll investigate the pool structure, accessory components, and mechanical systems to ensure that the pool is safe and not in need of expensive repair work.
Mold Inspection
There are over 400,000 types of mold, and while there are only a few dozen that are toxic, exposure to many molds can lead to health problems. It can also cause structural damage to your house.
