A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive, visual examination of a home, often in conjunction with the sale of that home. A seller may choose to have a pre-listing inspection before putting the house on the market, or wait for the potential buyer to conduct the inspection. Either way, the inspection is an essential element when conducting a property transaction, as it is designed to identify material defects within the dwelling, thus allowing both the buyer and the seller to make more informed decisions regarding the property.
Typically, our inspection services would include examination of the following:
- Roof, vents, flashings, and trim
