What to Expect During Your Inspection

Everything Included in Your Inspection

Your inspection is a visual examination of the property’s accessible structure and systems, conducted with care and attention to detail. I take my time, I explain what I’m finding as I go, and I make sure you leave knowing exactly what condition the property is in. Attending your inspection is always encouraged. There’s no better way to understand a property than to walk through it alongside me.

Structural Systems

I examine the foundation, framing, floors, walls, ceilings, and roof structure for signs of movement, damage, or conditions that could affect the building's integrity over time.

Roofing

The roof is one of the most significant components of any property. I assess the covering material, flashing, gutters, downspouts, skylights, and any visible penetrations for current condition and potential concerns.

Electrical Systems

I evaluate the main panel, visible wiring, outlets, switches, and grounding. Electrical deficiencies are taken seriously because they often represent real safety hazards.

Plumbing

Visible supply and drain lines, water pressure, fixtures, water heaters, and drainage function are all part of what I look at. I'll flag anything that indicates leaks, aging components, or code-related concerns.

Heating, Ventilation & Cooling

The HVAC systems in a home are expensive to replace and critical to comfort. I inspect the furnace, air conditioning equipment, ductwork, and ventilation systems, noting age, condition, and any operational issues.

Appliances

Installed appliances that stay with the property are included in the inspection. I test them for basic functionality and note anything that isn't operating as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.

What exactly does a home inspection evaluate?

A home inspection is a visual assessment of the property’s accessible structure and major systems, including the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and built-in appliances. The goal is to identify material defects or conditions that could affect the property’s safety, function, or value.

Pricing is based on the size, age, and location of the property. I display current pricing on my Services page, and you can also get an instant quote through my online scheduler. Pay at close is available for qualifying transactions.

Most home inspections take between two and four hours. Larger properties or those with more complex systems may take longer. Commercial inspections vary based on the scope of the building.

Yes, I encourage it. Being present gives you the opportunity to ask questions in real time and see the property’s condition firsthand. That said, if your schedule doesn’t allow it, your report will still give you everything you need.

Problems found during an inspection are common and not necessarily deal-breakers. Your report will clearly document what was found and give you the information you need to discuss options with your agent, whether that’s negotiating repairs, adjusting the price, or simply making an informed decision.
