Buying a home is the biggest investment most people will make in their lifetime. That is why, a home inspection is a very important, if not the most important part of a purchasing a home. A home inspection is a visual examination of all readily accessible areas of the structure, systems and components of a home from the foundation to the roof. This includes, but is not limited to the items listed below:
- Roof.
- Foundation.
- Attic.
- Electrical System.
- Plumbing System.
- Cooling and Heating System.
- Interior Walls/Ceilings.
- Windows and Doors.
- Exterior Walls.
- Major Installed Appliances.
A home inspection provides you with an independent, professional opinion of the condition of the home at the time of the inspection. The inspector will usually spend 2-3 hours (typically 1 hour for every 1,000 sqft) evaluating a home and may recommend further evaluation by a specialist if specific problems or symptoms are discovered. It is encouraged that the clients attend the inspection to ask questions and learn all about the home.
