What to Expect During a Home Inspection

A home inspection is a way to discover the condition of the many different systems in your new home. We will inspect your roof, plumbing, wiring, heating and air conditioning systems, walls and insulation, windows, and doors for signs of drafts or water leaks.

In addition to these safety concerns, we will also inspect appliances already installed in the house at the time of inspection, including but not limited to newer ovens with self-cleaning features. We will measure and mark the appliances for better functioning after the inspection.

You should also expect a professional home inspector to show you how to use your new appliances and fixtures and provide tips on how to make them last a long time. We will give you tips and information on how to control your energy bill better during winter and year-round so that you only pay what is necessary for your home’s utilities.

A home inspection is a very important step in the home-buying process. It is important to have it done by a qualified and certified home inspector who can provide professional, unbiased advice. We will help you decide about your future home and provide tips for keeping it in good repair for many years.

The best time to purchase a new home is during the winter when fewer prospective buyers are on the market, and prices are lower than in spring or summer.

It is also important to have a home inspection done on a new home built within the last five years. If a home was built more than five years ago, likely, many of the problems you will find are no longer covered by warranty. It is important to inspect your home for potential issues before you buy it and move in.

This helps prevent unexpected repair issues from occurring after it is too late to find out about them.

If you already have a home, having it inspected for potential issues is equally important. It’s better to know about them before than after a bad storm or major water leak.

If you are moving into a new house and are wondering what to do before you move in, you should talk to your neighbors and get some recommendations from people who live in houses similar to the one you plan to purchase. By asking your neighbors and the people you work with for recommendations, you will be able to find out about any issues common to all of your neighbor’s houses.

When you talk to your neighbor, ensure they understand what you want from them and how they can help you. You will save time and headaches by getting direct advice from other homeowners in the area for free rather than buying a report about their home inspection over the phone or on the internet. You will also get honest advice from people not trying to sell you a new house.

Always remember that the person who inspects your house for you is an expert. They have been trained to do it with their eyes and not just by talking to their neighbors about the houses in their neighborhood.
