Inspection Services

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions of a lifetime. A buyer’s inspection is crucial in determining whether the home you want to buy is a worthwhile investment. You will gain important information on the overall quality of the home, and areas in need of repair will be brought to light prior to the purchase.

Much like buying a home, selling a home is a major endeavor. In order to fully understand the condition of the home you are selling and to price it accordingly, it is imperative to conduct a pre-listing/seller’s inspection.

After a newly constructed home is completed, the builder will provide the homeowner with a one-year workmanship warranty. If there are problems from faulty construction or defective materials that arise during the first year of living in your new home, this warranty ensures that you are protected from having to pay for the repairs.

These inspections can be conducted on a yearly or biyearly basis on your home. It pays special attention to aspects like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and confirms whether they are in good working order. It also examines possible structural issues or property damage.
