What do you cover in your inspection? Basically, all readily accessible areas of the home, from the foundation to the roof, inside and out, are carefully examined, major items identified, and reported as to their present condition and operation at the time of inspection. All mechanicals (i.e. Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, etc) are carefully examined for proper installation and safe operation. For more info, click here.
Do you issue a written report with your inspection? Yes. Actually, we issue two of them. A full comprehensive report on the inspection findings as well as a summary report. Our reports are generated via the computer in a narrative style and then sent electronically to you (provided you have an email address). To see a sample report, click here.
How much do you charge for an inspection? Our fees are based on the finished square footage of the property with small homes typically running around $250, while medium size homes run around $300, and larger homes for $350.00 For more details, click here.
Do you accept Credit Cards? Sorry, we do not (only cash or checks).
How soon can you do the inspection? Usually we can schedule an inspection for you within two business days (Note to home buyers: you typically have 10 days from the time you sign a buy/sell agreement to have your inspections completed).
Do I have to be there for the inspection? Home Analysts (HA) strongly encourages all of our clients to attend the inspection to be better informed as to the current condition of the home they are either buying, selling, or just maintaining.
