Full Home Inspection

What is a Home Inspection? A home inspection is an objective visual non-destructive examination of the systems and structure of a home, from the roof to the foundation. If a problem or symptom is discovered, the inspector may recommend further evaluation. The inspection can take approximately three hours to complete, depending on the size and age of the home. A home inspection is not a warranty or insurance program, but a method to assist you in understanding the current condition of your new home and furthering sound decision making.
