Inspections

Standard Home Inspection

I'll inspect the structure, systems and components of the home, inside and out, from the foundation to the roof.

As a home inspector trained and certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), I adhere to their comprehensive Residential Standards of Practice. This means that I will inspect all of the following, when visible and accessible:

• Roof
• Structural Components
• Attic, Ventilation & Insulation
• Exterior Cladding, including EIFS
• Porch & Deck
• Attached Garage
• Driveway
• Foundation
• Basement/Crawlspace
• Electrical System
• Plumbing System
• HVAC System
• Interior, including ceilings, floor, walls, windows/glazing, and doors

Following my evaluation, I'll compile my findings in an easy-to-understand report that includes checklists, and detailed descriptions and high-quality digital photos of any issues I've discoverd. Your same-day report will be delivered via email, and my job isn't finished until you understand everything in it.

You will also receive a FREE copy of Now That You've Had a Home Inspection, the home-maintenance manual that includes tips for keeping your home safe and in top condition.
