Standard Full Home Inspection

A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the physical structure and major systems of a home. It’s an objective look at the home’s condition on the day of the inspection, designed to identify existing or potential issues, safety concerns and general wear and tear.

It protects one of the biggest investments you’ll make by uncovering defects or maintenance needs that aren’t obvious during a showing. It gives you information to negotiate with the seller and helps you plan future repairs.

Most full home inspections take 2 to 4 hours. Larger or older homes, or homes with extra structures, can take longer.

It isn’t required, but clients and agents are welcome. Being there lets you see the process, ask questions and hear the findings straight from your inspector.

No. A home inspection isn’t pass or fail. It’s an objective report on the home’s condition, and you decide whether the findings are acceptable or worth negotiating.

You’ll receive an easy-to-read digital report within 24 hours, usually the same day. It includes clear descriptions of findings, photos and recommendations for repairs or further evaluation.

No inspection can. A home inspection is visual and non-invasive, so inspectors can’t see inside walls or under foundations without access, or predict future failures. It’s a snapshot of the home’s condition on inspection day.

Almost every inspection finds something, even in new homes. The report helps you understand how serious each item is so you can negotiate repairs, credits or price, or plan for maintenance.

Yes. Brand-new homes can have workmanship defects, installation mistakes or items missed during construction. See our New Construction and 11–12 Month Warranty inspections for builds in progress.

Specialized testing like radon, mold, termite (WDI), sewer scope, septic, well water, asbestos and lead isn’t part of a standard home inspection. You can add any of these when you book.
