Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
A showing tells you whether you like the property. An inspection helps you understand its visible condition.
We examine accessible structural components, roofing, exterior elements, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, insulation, ventilation, interior components, and other major systems. We identify visible concerns and explain what may require repair, maintenance, monitoring, or further evaluation.
What we look at
- Accessible structural components, foundation, and visible signs of movement or moisture
- Roofing, flashing, and drainage, viewed from wherever safe access allows
- Exterior walls, windows, doors, grading, and site drainage around the building
- Electrical service, panel, and a representative sample of devices
- Plumbing supply and drainage, fixtures, and the water heater
- Heating and cooling equipment, operated on a normal call where conditions allow
- Insulation and ventilation in the attic and other accessible spaces
- Interior rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms, including visible safety items

Questions
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection questions
What does a pre-purchase inspection include?
We examine accessible structural components, roofing, exterior elements, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, insulation, ventilation, interior components, and other major systems, then explain what may require repair, maintenance, monitoring, or further evaluation.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on the property's size, age, condition, access, and services selected. The estimated duration is confirmed with your appointment.
Should I attend the inspection?
Yes, and you are encouraged to. Attending is a valuable opportunity to see important findings firsthand and ask questions directly.
What do I receive afterward?
You receive an interactive digital report organized by property system, with a summary of flagged findings, supporting photographs and media, and a downloadable PDF. Expected timing is confirmed at booking.
Will the inspection find every problem?
A property inspection is visual and non-invasive. Concealed, obstructed, locked, unsafe, or otherwise inaccessible areas cannot be inspected, and the report states clearly what was not inspected and why.
How much does it cost?
Residential inspection pricing starts at $350. Final pricing depends on property type, size, age, location, inspection scope, accessibility, and any additional services selected, and is confirmed before the appointment.
