The best way to ensure that you
are well informed about the strengths and weakness of a property is to have a
professional home inspection performed.Let
your inspector find the problems (new and old) before you commit to a major
investment.Home inspectors are trained
to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by
the previous owners and contractors.They
will help identify which issues require immediate attention.A trained professional will identify minor
and major problem areas and will provide invaluable information in turning you
into a more knowledgeable consumer.
New Home Inspection
The quality and craftsmanship of
new construction is often not what it used to be several years ago.Having a professional home inspection
performed before your walk-through with the builder will allow you to have
problems identified and fixed before you take possession and move in.It will also allow you to have things repaired
before your "one or two year warranty" expires.We do offer re-inspections from our initial inspection performed to
confirm that the builder has completed the items identified or if something new
has arised.
1-Year Warranty Inspection
With your new home purchase you
automatically get a 1 or 2 year bumper to bumper warranty from your
builder.A lot of natural "settlement"
occurs in the first year as your home settles into its new environment.
Most new homes that are going to
develop major deficiencies may begin to show obvious signs of problems within
their first year.Some defects will not
be obvious to the untrained eye.It is
prudent to get a home inspector's list of items that will most likely be
repaired by your builder at no extra cost to you if they are brought to your
attention.You will be reassured knowing
that potential problems are addressed before they grow into something that
could cost you a great deal down the road.
Building Phase Inspection
More and more people are building
and buying new homes.Knowing that your
house is being inspected and reviewed throughout the various stages allows us
to look at the construction, including foundation, framing, plumbing,
electrical, heating, etc., and then a final inspection and test performed.Phase inspections can discover key concerns
before it's too late and covered up.Some common items are:
Improperly installed roof, windows, doors and
exterior cladding
Failure to use cement board when building shower and
tub surrounds
Plumbing damaged or poor installation practices
Damaged or poorly installed heating system
Improper framing practices
Missing insulation
Rodent accesses
This relatively inexpensive
inspection process protects your new home investment and ensures you the quality
of the home you have purchased and dreamed about.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Whether you are selling your home
on your own or using a professional real estate agent, it's always a prudent
idea to have a professional home inspection before hand.Remember knowledge is power.All homes have strengths and weaknesses, an
inspector we will help you answer how serious the problems are, and which must
be immediately addressed and which can wait.A pre-sale home inspection lets homeowner's identify problems and take
preventive measures to avoid costly repairs.You will know you are complying with full disclosure laws, and that
means you can consider selecting your own contractors rather than waiting for
the buyer to do so.If you've done an
extensive remodel a home inspection can also help you make certain that the
contractors did their job correctly.The
more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for future
negotiations when it comes to a sale.
