Inspection Overview
A home inspection is an in-person objective evaluation of the
physical structure and systems of a home, and a functional check of all
its major systems and appliances.
A home is the biggest investment most people make in their
lifetimes. Since there can be serious flaws even in homes that appear
to be in beautiful condition, setting up a professional home inspection
will save you money, educate you about your home, and provide you some
much-needed peace of mind.
If you're buying a home, getting a home inspection means you know about any problems
and their solutions before you move in.
If you're selling a home, getting a home inspection means you know
you're complying with full disclosure laws, and means you can consider
selecting contractors rather than waiting for the buyer to do so.
If you've just done extensive remodeling, a home inspection can help you make
certain the contractors did the job correctly.
A home can't fail an inspection, but its systems and structures just
might. A professional home inspection means you have an independent
opinion about the problems and their solutions, and so you have exactly
what you need to make a sound decision.
