Inspection

The
inspection process includes a visual examination of all
the primary components of a structure's interior and exterior
in a manner that meets or exceeds all ASHI Standards
of Practice. We inspect roofing, foundation, framing,
electrical, decks, plumbing, and a myriad of other specific
items. For a more comprehensive list of items inspected,
see "Inspection Categories" at the bottom of the
page.

Once you have found a home,
we know that you will want the acquisition process to move
quickly so that you can focus on your new home. We can assist
you by promptly scheduling and performing the inspection.
Then, a concise summary report will be provided via email
and a full narrative report will be sent via US mail on
a CD-ROM.
If
at all possible, we highly recommend that you are present
during the inspection, at which time pertinent items will
be discussed. We have found that our clients have a much
better understanding of the items in the report when they
participate in the inspection process. We also find that
the follow up questions our clients ask "on-site"
are more easily and completely answered when we can demonstrate
and point out what corrective actions we think may be
necessary.
