When the inspection is over, your home inspector will prepare a detailed inspection report regarding the property. We spend time with you, clearly explaining our findings, giving you real answers that can help you. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence. You will have all the information you need to make an informed decision about the property. It does not end there, we will keep a copy of the report to help us answer your questions at anytime in the future.

While an inspection will give you an idea of the overall condition, it might not uncover hidden problems such as pests, mold or asbestos. It also won’t turn up flaws in areas that are below ground or otherwise inaccessible to the inspector. The home inspector will not move furniture, lift carpets, cut holes in walls, shovel snow, or dismantle equipment. The inspection is not technically exhaustive and all encompassing due to the various limitations of a visual inspection.
