Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions about home inspections and what you should expect when you get a home inspection. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

WHAT WILL BE IN THE REPORT?

The report will include the findings of what condition the major systems of the home were found in. Reports themselves can vary. You will receive an electronic copy of your report, including a home maintenance manual, usually by the end of business that same day. The report is organized with an inspection checklist, a summary report of deficiencies found, perhaps along with digital pictures to support the recommendations.
