Services

General Home Inspection:

A general home inspection is a visual evaluation of the structure and systems of a home with the purpose to discover any issues with the home that are not performing correctly, are unsafe or could cause problems in the future.

  • Roof, vents, flashings and trim
  • Gutters and downspouts
  • Skylight, chimney and other roof penetrations.
  • Decks, stoops, porches, walkways and railings
  • Eaves, soffits, and fascia
  • Site grading and drainage
  • Basement, foundation and crawlspace

Pre-Listing Inspection:

A pre-listing home inspection will arm you with the information needed to make any needed repairs to your home before you sell your home. This could lead to great showings, easier closings and could make you more money on the sale of your home. If you don’t fix problems in your house and they show up on the buyers inspection report, the buyer may ask you to reduce your asking price or make repairs in a hurry in order to close on time or may simply walk away from the deal. Why would you wait to have your home inspected and possibly put the sale in jeopardy?
