General Building Inspection

Why Inspect?

Prior to purchasing your primary residence, vacation home, or an investment property, you should be aware of existing problems or problems that may arise during your ownership of the property. Often issues that could lead to costly repairs are not readily apparent to prospective purchasers or real estate agents even after several walk-throughs. Our trained inspectors know what to look for, and they perform a comprehensive evaluation of your property.

The Importance of Inspection

A home inspection as part of a purchase allows the buyer to know the condition of the home and thus helps the buyer to identify possible sources of future expense. A home inspection can also help owners of real estate to determine the presence or magnitude of problems in their home. Home inspections also make a homeowner aware of maintenance issues in and around the home.

Real estate is a major investment. Before purchasing any property, it is prudent to establish the condition of that property. A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation.
