A home inspection is defined as a non-invasive, visual inspection of the home. Although a home inspection is not technically exhaustive, through the InterNACHI Standards of Practice (SOP) we use the latest inspection tools and technology to examine the components as thoroughly as possible, and we provide you with further recommendations as needed. You will be provided a thorough written report of all findings, complete with color photos within 48 hours of the completion of your inspection. Reports are generated electronically and will be emailed. A printed copy can be mailed upon request.
The typical home inspection will take between 3-4 hours to complete, you and/or your agent are encouraged to be present, at least for the final hour, for an immediate verbal summary review of all pertinent findings.
