A home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of the house intended to provide the client with a general understanding of the condition of the property at the time of the inspection. For more details, check out our article on A Buyer's Guide to Home Inspections.

During our comprehensive inspection, your home inspector will evaluate the major systems of the house, assess the overall condition of the property and point out any issues discovered. Our inspection findings will then be documented in a comprehensive digital report with plenty of pictures. All inspections are performed in accordance with the NC Standards of Practice defined by the NC Home Inspector Licensing Board (NCHILB) which can be downloaded at their website: NC SOP

Some of the components/system to be inspected include:

• Siding

• Roofing

• Grading

• Foundation and structure

• Windows/doors

• Decks/patios

• Electrical

• Plumbing

• Heating and cooling systems

• Insulation and ventilation

• Interior

• Built-in Appliances

Home inspections give client's the opportunity to gather an unbiased, professional evaluation of the condition of the home. It is especially critical if you're buying, selling, and even building a home to uncover any potential issues that you may not be aware of. Remember, your home is likely the largest investment you'll ever make so why not help protect it with a home inspection?

The cost of a home inspection varies based on the size and age of the home, as well as if any ancillary services such as radon or water testing are included.

Typically a home inspection will take between 2.5 and 4 hours depending on the size and age of the home.

We highly recommend you attend the home inspection. This allows you to see any issues with the home first-hand and ask questions along the way.

If you're not able to make it, that's ok too. We'll complete the inspection and follow up with you afterwards to go over the report in detail and answer any questions you have.

After the on-site inspection, it take a significant amount of time to compile all of the findings and details of the home. We strive to deliver reports within 48 hrs of the inspection, but in some cases it may take up to 3 business days. When the report is ready, we'll send you an email with a link to the digital report where you can review it online and download in PDF format.

Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless and radioactive gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. It permeates from the soil and concentration levels can vary greatly from one house to the next. To help protect your health, we highly recommend radon testing for any home purchase.
