About Your Home Inspection...
For most of us, buying or selling a home, on many levels, is amongst the largest decisions we will ever
make. The home buying and selling process is stressful and confusing. The decision involves considerable risk. Our Professional Home
Inspection helps reduce your risk, stress, and confusion during the process. We truly enjoy educating our clients during the their
home inspection. Customer service, education and satisfaction are our highest priorities.
Clients are strongly encouraged to
accompany us during the inspection. Not attending the inspection will limit your experience. Our role is to educate our clients
while we evaluate the home.
During the inspection process:
- We explain how systems work and the maintenance required.
- We
point out the positive qualities of the home.
- We discuss marginal issues, defects and safety concerns as they are uncovered.
You will
get a clearly written, easy to understand report that includes informative photographs taken during the inspection. Our report will
arm you with the information and confidence needed to make a more informed decision. Our service does not end with the report, though.
We are available for free telephone and email consultations for as long as you own your home.
