A home inspection can be defined as an investment in peace of mind. Spending a few hundred dollars for a home inspection now, could save you thousands of dollars in the long run. A home inspection will provide you with detailed information concerning the property and help point out safety hazards which may exist. A home inspection can also help pin point major systems or components that are defective, not functioning properly, in need of repair, or are near the end of their useful service life.

  

A home inspection will report on the entire home, from the roof to the foundation. It will include the condition of the home’s heating system and/or  air conditioning system; interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, crawlspace, basement and structural components; gutters and downspouts; grading; exterior finishes and much more.
