Frequently Asked Questions

Comprehensive inspections of all major home systems are conducted following industry Standards of Practice. This includes structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, heating and cooling equipment, roofing, exterior and interior components, windows, doors, and insulation throughout the property.

Most inspections require 2-4 hours to complete thoroughly, though timing varies with property size and complexity. Properties with additional features like swimming pools, outbuildings, or extensive mechanical systems may need extra time for proper inspection.

It is highly recommended that clients join during the inspection whenever possible. This provides valuable learning opportunities about the property's systems and allows for real-time discussion of any findings or maintenance considerations.

Inspection fees are based on property characteristics and requested services, with transparent pricing provided in advance. Please see the services page for more details or contact directly for a quote.

Start by reading the full report before making any decisions. Focus first on safety concerns and major systems like the roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and foundation, then work with a real estate agent to decide whether to negotiate repairs, request a price reduction, or ask for closing credits. For significant findings, getting contractor estimates helps put things in perspective. If anything in the report is unclear, reach out — a good inspector is happy to explain the findings. Keep the report even after closing; it's a useful maintenance guide for years to come.
