FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a home inspection cover?

A home inspection covers the major systems and components of a property — foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, and more. We document visible defects, deferred maintenance, and safety concerns in a detailed report with photos, so you know what you're buying before you close.

How long does a home inspection take?

Most inspections run 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on the size and age of the home. Older homes, larger square footage, or properties with crawl spaces and complex systems take longer. We don't rush — thoroughness is the whole point.

Should I be present during the inspection?

Yes — it's one of the best uses of your time. Being there lets you see issues firsthand, ask questions in the moment, and leave with a clear understanding of the property. We walk you through every finding at the end.

What happens if the inspection finds major issues?

That depends on what you want to do with the information. Some issues are negotiating points, others are deal-breakers, and many are simply deferred maintenance you can plan around. Our job is to give you the full picture — not push a transaction forward or kill a deal.
