Home Inspections
Whether buying, selling, building or staying in the property you own, a property inspection just makes good sense! Understanding the condition of the systems and components of a building are critical when it comes to purchase, repair and maintenance decisions.
A professional home inspection is an impartial third-party visual evaluation of the physical structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, roofing, interior and exterior.
Upon completion, you will receive a formal written inspection report detailing the condition of each item inspected.
What is Included in the Home Inspection?
We provide buyers, sellers, property owners, & agents with important information essential to evaluating a property’s condition. Through inspection, consultation & detailed reporting we review:
| EXTERIOR: | grading, walls, coverings, patios & decks, patio covers, sidewalks & driveways, soffits & fascias, doors/windows & trim, gutters & downspouts, retaining walls, fences & gates. |

| HEAT/AC: | description, combustion system, A/C components, supply & discharge lines, venting, ductwork & registers, controls & thermostats. |
| PLUMBING: | main supply line, distribution lines, fixtures, vents & traps & drains, functional flow. |
| INSULATION: | attic, walls, crawlspace, floors, lines, ductwork, air & vapor barriers. |

How Long Will it Take?
In most cases, the average inspection takes between 2 to 3 hours depending on the size, condition and age of the property. A comprehensive report is provided at the end of the inspection.
A Computerized Report
If you desire, your report can be a computer generated report that is a little easier to read and much more professional. Regardless of which type of report you prefer, the report is approximately 20 pages and very detailed and placed inside a nice notebook with a special "Homeowners Guide" book at the back of the notebook along with a set of "ASHI's Standards of Inspection".
Our customers can look page by page at all details of the inspection or can look at the overview section to get the report summary. At the end of the computer generated report, there is a section of photos that show pictures of any area a concern was found and noted.
