FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a general home inspection?

A general home inspection is a comprehensive check of a property's major systems—including the roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC—to identify issues before you buy.

Does a home inspection cover everything?

A general home inspection provides a thorough overview, but it is not exhaustive. For specific concerns, such as potential mold or pests, you may require specialized inspections.

How long does the inspection take?

A general home inspection typically takes 2–3 hours for a 2,000 sq ft home, but may take longer based on the property’s condition, size, and any added services.

I'm selling my home, do I need an inspection?

Sellers aren’t required to get a pre-listing inspection, but it’s highly recommended—especially for older homes. It helps identify issues early and can prevent surprises during the buyer’s inspection.

What qualifications do your inspectors have?

Our inspectors are fully licensed in Ohio and trained to meet the industry’s highest standards, with ongoing education to stay sharp. View individual qualifications on our meet the team page.

Do you offer any warranties or guarantees?

Although our inspectors are thorough and experienced, it is important to note that a home inspection provides a snapshot of the home’s condition at the time of inspection. We do not provide warranties or guarantees, but we stand by the quality of our work.

Should I attend the inspection?

While not required, we highly recommend attending your inspection—it’s a great chance to get a detailed walkthrough, ask questions, and spend time in the home before closing.

What if I need to reschedule?

To reschedule your inspection, call us at (330) 679-8161 and one of our team members can assist you.

How can I pay?

We accept several payment methods, including cash, checks, credit and debit cards, and direct bank transfer. You can make payments by phone, online, or on-site with your Inspector*.
*Inspectors do not have the ability to give change for payments. Exact payment must be provided on-site.

When will I receive my inspection report?

We aim to deliver your full inspection report the same day—often right after the inspection—with all reports sent within 24 hours.

When will I receive my add-on report(s)?

Report turnaround times vary by service: radon results are typically delivered in 2 days, well and septic reports in 2–3 days, mold reports in 3 days, and lead clearance reports within 5–7 days.

Can I call you with questions after the inspection?

Absolutely! We’re here to assist you. If you have any questions about the report or anything else, feel free to contact us.
