Frequently Asked Questions.
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a professional consulting service that evaluates the current state of a home’s key systems through a visual examination of accessible areas. The focus of the inspection is on the functionality of the home, rather than on aesthetic, code compliance, or design considerations. Home inspections can be performed at any time to determine the condition of a property.

Why should I get a home inspection?
A home inspection is a crucial step in the home buying and selling process. It helps buyers identify any significant defects in the property, such as a faulty foundation or a leaky roof. For sellers, it provides an opportunity to address any necessary repairs before listing the property for sale. This can lead to a smoother closing and faster sale. The inspection report can also help buyers make informed decisions about whether to proceed with the purchase or negotiate further. Ultimately, a home inspection can provide peace of mind and help prevent buyer’s remorse
Should I attend the inspection?
Attending the inspection and hiring an inspector who allows this is highly recommended. By accompanying the inspector through the home, you’ll gain valuable insights into its condition, potential selling points, and any defects. You’ll also learn about the home’s maintenance, systems, and components, which can be useful during the transaction.
