FAQ

Q: Why do I need a home inspection if the house looks fine?

A: Many serious issues—like faulty wiring, roof damage, or structural problems—are invisible to the untrained eye. A certified inspection protects you from unexpected repair costs and gives you peace of mind before you buy.

​

Q: How long does the inspection take?

A: Most home inspections take between 2–3 hours depending on the size and condition of the home. We encourage you to be present at the end of the inspection so we can walk you through key findings in real time.

​

Q: When will I receive the report?

A: You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-read digital report with photos within 24 hours of the inspection. 

​

Q: What does the inspection include?

A: We check all major systems and components of the home including the roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, attic, crawlspace, appliances, moisture levels, and more. Add-ons like mold or radon testing are also available.
