Why A Home Inspection?

 

A professional home inspection is your best tool when it comes to making the most of your home investment. Whether you are buying or selling, an objective professional inspection will provide you with important information that you can use.

If you’re buying, you want to know that the home you’re considering is safe and sound. You want to avoid unwelcome and costly surprises. If you’re selling your home, you will need to make full disclosure of any and all deficiencies. You’ll want to know what, if any, repairs to make so you can market your home most effectively. Whichever side of the "For Sale" sign you’re on, a quality home inspection is essential.

For Buyers

 

You want as much information as possible about the home you are considering for purchase, and a comprehensive home inspection offers important protection for your investment. Our inspection evaluates home safety, and structural and mechanical soundness. We look for any risks to your family’s health. We identify potential maintenance issues and help you eliminate unwelcome surprises.

For Sellers

 

Our home inspection gives you a powerful marketing tool to set your home apart. We point out repairs that you may wish to make before you put your home up for sale. Our evaluation and report provide the information you need to make full disclosure prior to sale. A pre-sale home inspection can be your competitive edge when it comes to offering the buyer greater peace of mind.
