What I Inspect                                                                                                                 

I will conduct a thorough inspection of your home, inside and out.

As a certified professional home inspector, I have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with a thorough and professional, non-intrusive, visual inspection of your home, from roof to foundation. 

Outside the home, I will check the exterior walls, roof, driveway, deck, etc., then we will move inside to examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. The heating, air-conditioning,plumbing, and electrical systems will all be examined to ensure that they function as intended. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms receive a thorough check, along with the attic and basement or crawl space.

Here are some of the many items I will be looking at during your home inspection:

  • Foundation and support structure
  • Fireplaces
  • Roof systems
  • Basement seepage
  • Safety controls
  • Water heater
  • Ventilation
  • Electrical capacity & components
  • Structural integrity
  • Steps and stairs
  • Heating system
  • Central Air Conditioning system
  • Walks and driveways
  • Built-in appliances
  • Plumbing system & fixtures
  • Garages, Carports, Workshops or other external buildings
  • Surface drainage
  • Windows & doors
  • Insulation
  • Gutters & downspouts
  • Decks
  • Sump pumps

 

I invite you to come along  to the inspection. The inspection usually takes from 2-3 hours. After I complete our inspection I like to go over our findings with the client in person.   For more information on home inspections, please browse the rest of my web site, and be sure to check out the Homeowners Resources section under Links of Interest.
