What's Included
A home inspection is a visual inspection of the interior and exterior of a property. You can expect each inspection to be detailed, thorough and carefully done.
Each inspection looks at the following aspects of a property:

Evaluates the overall integrity of the roof, noting any areas that may require repairs or maintenance to ensure the home is properly protected from the elements.

Exterior
Inspects the exterior surfaces, including siding, trim, windows, and other key elements, looking for signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Evaluates the condition of these components to identify areas that may need repairs or maintenance to preserve the home’s appearance, prevent further damage, and ensure it remains structurally sound.

Structural
Inspects the foundation, framing, and structural components of the home, looking for any signs of instability, damage, or shifting. Evaluates the overall structural integrity of the home including areas such as the basement and crawlspaces.

Electrical
