Q: How long will the Inspection take?
A: Most Inspections take about three to four hours. These times may vary
depending on the size, age & condition of the home.
Q: Should I be present during the Inspection?
A: We recommend that you be present at the site of the inspection, from
start to finish.
Q: Why use our Services?
A: The purchase of a new home is one of the single most costly investments
that a family will make. Along with the extra stresses this will add, there
is also the fear factor of, "Will This Home Stand The Test of Time?"
It is also important to know what YOU, as the primary investor, are getting
for your money.
A home inspection is an excellent tool for you, the home buyer, to help determine
not only the condition of the home, but to also help foresee any immediate unnecessary
additional cost that may go unnoticed without the help of a home inspection.
Home inspections are not a prediction of future performance, but can pinpoint
existing problem areas.
Q: Why can't I have someone in my family who is very handy or a contractor,
inspect my new home?
A: This is the biggest mistake many potential new homeowners make when
purchasing a home. Although the person you are considering may be very skilled,
they are not trained or experienced at professional home inspections. Professional
home inspection is a unique skill like no other. Professional inspectors get
what we call an inspector's instinct for problems. That instinct takes extensive
training and lots of experience doing inspections to develop. Many contractors,
and other trades professionals hire a professional home inspector to inspect
their homes when they make a purchase.
Q: What if I have questions after the inspection?
A: You can call us and discuss all the aspects of your new home whenever
you like. Our service is a long-term investment.
Q: Are there standard forms that inspectors use? If so, where can I find them?
A: Yes there are forms that TREC recommends inspectors use.
