Home Inspection

Q: What's a home inspection?

A: A home inspection is when a paid professional inspector -- often a contractor or an engineer -- inspects the home, searching for defects or other problems that might plague the owner later on. They usually represent the buyer and or paid by the buyer. The inspection usually takes place after a purchase contract between buyer and seller has been signed.

Q: Do I need a home inspection?

A: Yes. Buying a home "as is" is a risky proposition. Major repairs on homes can amount to thousands of dollars. Plumbing, electrical and roof problems represent significant and complex systems that are expensive to fix.

Below are some of the items a home inspection will cover include:

deferred maintenance items
structural problems
electrical systems
plumbing systems
heating and cooling systems
mechanical systems
roofing
