How long will the inspection last?
The typical home inspection will last between 2 and 3 hours.
Should you come to the inspection?
I would highly recommend you come to the inspection. This will allow us to go through the property together and if questions arise I can provide you with the proper information. We can also go over the report together, should you have any questions about the report.
How soon will I get the final inspection report?
Immediately following the inspection an electronic report will be generated for you to keep.
Can a home fail a home inspection?
In general a home inspection is not a pass or fail test. The home inspection will detail any major or minor issues with the home, highlight the positives, and teach you to maintain the home in the future. From there you can discuss with your realtor if the “dollars make cents” to move forward with the home or what other options you may have for the next steps.
How long does the radon test take?
The test requires a radon monitoring device be left at the property for 48 hours.
When will I get the results of the radon test?
I use a continuous radon monitoring machine, so once the 48 hours is complete I can give you the results.
When and how do I pay for the inspection?
Payments need to be made prior to receiving any service. Payment with credit cards can be done on the website or in person prior to the inspection or a check. Venmo is also accepted.
