INVESTMENTS IN KNOWLEDGE PAY DIVIDENDS Real Estate is usually the largest investment you will ever make, yet many people do so without knowing the condition of the property they are purchasing. That’s why a professional property inspection is such a valuable investment! An analysis of the property, conducted by a specially trained and completely objective inspector, can identify non-functioning systems, damaged building components, safety issues and quality installations. Having this information before you purchase, sell, repair or remodel can return many dividends, both financially and emotionally.

WHAT WE INSPECT We provide buyers, sellers, property owners and agents with important information essential to evaluating a property’s condition. Through inspection, consultation and detailed reporting we review: EXTERIOR: grading, walls, coverings, patios, decks, patio covers, sidewalks, driveways, soffits, fascias, doors, windows, trim, gutters, downspouts, retaining walls, fences and gates. STRUCTURE: foundation, crawlspace, footings, columns, floors, walls and chimneys. ROOFING: structure, coverings, flashings, skylights, vents and stacks. ELECTRICAL: service entrance, grounding, panel, sub-panels, branch circuits, outlets, GFCIs and circuit integrity. HEATING and A/C: description, combustion system, a/c components, supply, discharge lines, venting, duct work, registers, controls and thermostats. PLUMBING: main supply line, distribution lines, fixtures, vents, traps, drains and functional flow. INSULATION: attic, walls, crawlspace, floors, lines, duct work and air/vapor barriers. INTERIOR: walls, ceilings, windows, floors, doors, stairs, fireplaces and smoke detectors (test buttons).
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? In most cases, the average inspection takes between 2 to 3 hours depending on the size, condition and age of the property. A comprehensive report is provided at the end of the inspection.
