Inspection Scope
An inspection reviews the systems and components of the home or building:​​
Roof, Exterior, Structure, Electrical, Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Insulation, Ventilation, Interior​​
This includes more difficult to reach areas such as attics and crawlspaces whenever possible.​​​​​ Although largely a visual examination, various high-tech tools will be employed including thermal imaging camera (infrared), moisture meter, circuit tester, drone, ladders, etc.​​

For Buyers
Pre-Purchase Inspection or Pre-Offer Inspection
The purpose of an inspection is to give you as much information as possible about the condition of the building to support your purchase decision. The focus is looking for major items such as a system near the end of it's life or not performing properly. There may also be older systems present that have insurability issues. Every house will have a variety of issues - an inspection will help put them in perspective by identifying them and providing guidance on repair, replacement, or remediation costs. Typically this is part of the purchase process to satisfy a home inspection condition, however in some cases prospective buyers will opt for this prior to making an offer.​​​​
​​​​Fee guidance: Single family $475 and up, Townhouse $429 and up, Condo $349 and up, Duplex $575 and up
(fees generally increase with size and age, older/larger homes are often in the $525 to $575 range)
For Sellers
Pre-Sale Inspection or Pre-Listing Inspection
If you are contemplating selling, an inspection can help avoid surprises in the sale process. The last thing you want is to have an offer fall apart or your sale price to be negotiated down, after a buyer's inspection finds issues. Knowledge is power - be in the know by proactively having an inspection done before you list your property. A reputable inspector is crucial, especially if you plan to share the report with prospective buyers. This can even generate a larger pool of interested buyers.
