When it comes to purchasing a home, a comprehensive home inspection is a critical step in the process. A home inspection will arm you with invaluable information about the property you plan to purchase, ultimately giving you peace of mind and a well-rounded understanding of the home’s condition.
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.
Having a thorough and detailed home inspection report can give you the leverage you need to better negotiate with the property's selling price.
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.
Savvy sellers recognize the benefits of a thorough home inspection before listing a property. A proactive approach not only enhances a home’s appeal to buyers, but also facilitates a smoother selling process and builds trust between you and future buyers.
By pre-emptively identifying and addressing problems with a property before listing, you can raise your initial selling price and marketability to reflect the home's improved condition.
Streamline your negotiation process by taking care of smaller issues off-the-bat so you and your buyer can focus more on the big picture, instead of the nitty-gritty.
By sharing a thorough home inspection report with your buyer, you can foster a stronger sense of trust. Build confidence with your buyers by fostering a transparent transaction.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
