Why can’t I do the Inspection myself?
We are familiar with all the systems of a home, how they work, and their
need to be maintained. We also study aging systems and can identify components about
to fail. But beyond the technical expertise and experience a professional
inspector brings, it is important to remember that the inspector remains an impartial
third party. If you are involved in buying a home, it may be difficult for
you to remain completely unemotional about the house, and this may cloud your judgment.
Our professional inspectors will provide an objective reporting of the facts.
Should you attend the Home Inspection?
While not necessary, it is recommended that the home buyer be present for the inspection. This allows the buyer to observe the inspector, ask questions directly, and obtain a better understanding of the condition of the home, how its systems work, and how to maintain it. The written report may be easier to understand if the buyer was present during the inspection.
I am buying a New Home. Do I need a Home Inspection?
Yes, definitely. New homes have different problems than older existing homes. Most problems relate to items missed, not properly installed, maladjusted or overlooked due to today's fast paced construction schedules. New homes usually come with a one year builder's warrantee, and the home buyer should have the house inspected prior to the lapse of this warrantee.
It is recommended, however, that the new home be inspected before closing, since it may be easier to get the builder to make any necessary modifications before they have "moved on". Also, a Wood Destroying Insect Inspection (Termite), Water Testing and Septic Evaluations may be required.
