Frequently Asked Questions

The purchase of a home is probably one of the single, largest investments you will ever make. You should be as informed and educated as much as possible when considering such a purchase. A thorough home inspection can provide a significant portion of that education.

A home inspection lets you know the condition of the property as well as identifies the need for any repairs before you buy, so you can make an informed purchasing decision. A home inspection also informs the buyer of the positive aspects of the home, as well as any maintenance that may be recommended to keep the house in good shape, with the major systems operating smoothly. After the inspection you will have a much better understanding of the property you intend to purchase.

The price of the inspection varies based on the square footage, age and location of the property. Larger and older homes take longer to inspect, hence the fees for these homes are greater than those for a smaller home. However, don’t let the price of the inspection determine whether or not you get a home inspection or the selection of your home inspector. The knowledge gained from an inspection is well worth the cost, and the lowest priced inspector is not necessarily a bargain.

Inspection times vary depending on the size, age & condition of the home, however, most Inspections are completed in about three to four hours.

You generally have between seven and fourteen days after you sign the contract to get a home inspection. We would advise you to call us as soon as you sign a contract on the prospective home. This will ensure that you can get the inspection done at a time that’s most convenient for you.

When you’re ready to schedule your inspection just, give us a call and we’ll answer any questions you might have.

No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies problems, it doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t buy the house, only that you will know in advance what to expect. A seller may adjust the purchase price or make repairs if major problems are found. If your budget is tight, or if you don’t wish to become involved in future repair work, this information will be very important to you.
