What is a home inspection? A home inspection is an objective, visual analysis of the structure and systems of a home. An inspection will determine the areas of a home that are not performing correctly and the items that are beyond their useful life or are unsafe. The inspection includes areas of the home's interior and exterior from the roof to the foundation and the exterior drainage and retaining walls. If any issues or symptoms are found, we recommend appropriate further evaluation. View a sample report.

A Pre-Sale Inspection is typically conducted prior to putting your home on the market. This inspection provides you with a better understanding of the conditions which will likely be discovered by a prospective buyer's inspector. Why take the risk of opening a can of worms? It gives you enough time to find adequate, affordable remedies to correct any problems in advance and avoid haggling with the buyer and possibly losing the sale.
A Periodic Inspection is designed for the homeowner that wants a home check-up and is performed every 3 -5 years. I conduct the inspection in the same manner as a Pre-Purchase Inspection. The Periodic Home Inspection will detect any small problems before they become major expenses, which more than covers the cost of the inspection.
New Construction Inspection
Detection and remediation of any problems before “signing off” on a newly constructed home makes the question of homeowner recourse much less of an issue.
Once your custom home is "finished", the paperwork is signed and final payment is made to the builder, a homeowner's recourse is limited. The builder may be reluctant or slow to come back and correct any problems. In cases where there is an arbitration clause in the contract and this situation occurs, the cost in time, money, and stress causes many people to abandon efforts to have the builder remediate construction defects.
The sale of a newly constructed home typically includes a one-year warranty in which the builder is obligated to correct any problems encountered within the first year of ownership. It is wise to have a professional home inspection performed before the one-year warranty expires, one or two months before the expiration date, so you know exactly what needs to be corrected.
