Our inspections are conducted by an ASHI Certified Home Inspector

What’s Included in a Home Inspection?
A home is the biggest purchase most people will ever make, and a home inspection is always recommended before buying a home. It’s important to realize the condition of your investment.
While some little quirks may be nothing to worry about, there may be more serious issues that only a professional home inspector can assess.
A large part of surviving the home inspection is understanding what is and what isn’t included. Here’s a helpful infographic that shows you what’s covered in a home inspection.
