Buyers Home Inspection
A home
inspection is a visual process where all of the items typically used
within a home are tested and/or operated to verify proper operation
or installation. Doors and windows are opened and closed, roofing
materials inspected, air-conditioning and heating systems operated.
The Inspector will fill the sinks and tub(s), run the shower(s), and
flush the toilets. All the while making notes on the condition and
operation of the components tested. Upon completion a report will be
distributed to you.
New Construction Inspections
New construction inspections are
performed at the completion of construction, but prior to your final
walk through with the Builder's Customer Service Representative or
Superintendent. It is always a good idea to verify that utilities
(gas, water, and electric) have been turned on, either by you or the
Builder depending on the Builder's policy. The inspection should be
scheduled just a day or two before you final walk through with the
Builder. This will ensure that most, if not all, last minute items
have been completed prior to your inspection. At the conclusion of
the inspection a completed report will be distributed to you.
Pre-Warranty Expiration Inspections
Warranty inspections are performed during
the 11th month of your 1-year Builder Warranty. The inspection will
be performed to verify that proper building techniques were used and
that the various components of the home were properly installed. You
will be presented with a completed report at the end of the
inspection along with digital photos taken as needed for
inaccessible areas.
Seller
Certified Home Program (Pre-Listing Inspections)
Listing inspections are very good for the
homeowner who may not be in tune with the condition of their home. A
great many sales are cancelled due to the buyer's shock at the
"functional condition" of the home. It may look great, but have
serious technical, safety, or functional issues present without the
owner's knowledge. Having the home inspected prior to placing on the
market is the ideal way to identify and either repair or disclose
the issue found in the Inspection Report. Obviously, repairing the
items would be the most beneficial towards completing the sale.
However, there may be financial reasons where the owner can't make
the repairs. Disclosing them up front and pricing the home based
upon that disclosure will often times produce a higher net sales
price for the owner.
Green Building Guidance
With the current
emphasis on conservation, many customers want to build homes or
update homes using green technologies and / or materials. This
service will provide guidance on green options that are available
for any project that is being considered.

We provide a visual inspection of pools
and spas, looking for telltale signs of structural problems,

equipment, plumbing and electrical systems are in good condition. A
