Buyers Inspection
The standard home inspector's report will cover the condition of the home's heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing system; electrical system; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; and the foundation, basement and structural components.
Pre-Listing Inspection
A pre-listing inspection is simply a comprehensive inspection of your home by a professional to help identify any maintenance or repair issues BEFORE you list your home for sale. Homeowners typically wait until a potential buyer wants to purchase their home, and then the home buyer pays for an inspection. But then you have to negotiate repairs and run the risk of having the buyer change their mind about the sale.
Annual Maintenance Inspection
You can think of an annual home maintenance inspection as a preventative maintenance inspection, or a doctor's checkup, but for your home. A home maintenance inspection is designed to look for routine maintenance or repairs that may have been missed or any seemingly minor problems with the home that could become major financial or safety issues. The objective of the home maintenance inspection is to keep the systems in your home running smoothly and to save you time — and money — in the future.
After your inspection, you'll receive a summary of your home's condition, with recommendations and helpful tips to keep it in great shape. We recommend performing a home maintenance inspection once a year.
