FAQ's

Q: Can A House Fail The Inspection?

A: No. A professional home inspector does not issue a pass or fail grade on a home. A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of the prospective home. The home inspector will describe the physical condition of the home and indicate what may need repair or replacement.  


Q: When Do I Get The Report?
A: At the completion of the inspection, we will review our findings with you via a laptop slideshow. Then a detailed computer report with color photos will be emailed to you within 24 hours.  


Q: What Kind Of Report Can I Expect?
A: We provide a computer-generated report with digital photos. The Property Inspection Report will give you easy to read details on:

  1. The general condition of the home from the roof to the foundation
  2. Safety concerns
  3. Major and minor deficiencies
  4. Suggestions to remedy deficiencies
  5. Any major expenditure coming up
  6. What to watch out for


Q: When And How Do I Schedule A Home Inspection?
A: You generally have between seven and ten days after you sign the contract with your real estate agent to get a home inspection. We would advise you to call us as soon as you sign the contract on the prospective home. This will ensure that you can get the inspection done at a time that's most convenient for you. When you're ready to schedule your inspection, you can call, text message or email us. We are available 7 days a week.   


Q: How Much Does An Inspection Cost?
A: The price of the inspection varies based on the size of the home. Larger homes take longer to inspect, hence the fees for these homes are greater than those for a smaller home. However, don't let the price of the inspection determine whether or not you get a home inspection or the selection of your home inspector. The knowledge gained from an inspection is well worth the cost, and the lowest priced inspector is not necessarily a bargain. The inspector's qualifications, including his experience, training, and professional affiliations should be the most important consideration.  


Q: How Do I Pay The Inspector?
A: At the conclusion of the inspection payment is due. We accept cash, checks, credit cards, Venmo and Zelle. 


 Q: Should I be present during the Inspection?
A: Yes, we recommend that you be present at the site of the inspection.  


Q: What will the inspection cover?
A: A thorough Inspection from the roof to the foundation.
