Frequently Asked Home Inspection Questions

Should I get a Home Inspection?

A home is the most expensive purchase that you are likely to make. You need to get as much information as you can before you purchase the home. The Home Inspection will give you information about the general condition of the house and the major systems.

Should I attend the Inspection?

Absolutely, everyone should if at all possible.

May I ask questions during the Home Inspection?

Yes, we ask that you look as hard as we do. The more eyes
looking, the less chance that anything will be missed. The inspection is also an education for you. The location of major emergency shut off switches, valves, and disconnects are pointed out. General maintenance items are also reviewed during the inspection.

How much time will the Home Inspection take?

A three bedroom house generally takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Be sure to allow for some extra time though.

When do I receive the report?

We provide the report at the end of the inspection.

How do I find a qualified Home Inspector?
Always look for a home inspector affiliated with The American
Society of Home Inspectors. There are rigorous procedures to go through to become a member of ASHI. These will usually be the most qualified inspectors.
Should price be a major factor in choosing the Home Inspector?

NO! NO! NO! Qualifications and reputation of the inspector
should giude your decision.
