Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough
home inspection will take no more than four hours, usually between an hour and a half and three hours. Ideally, you will
accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.
We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major
systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found with any problem areas
noted, so you can easily identify them. Our inspectors also provide a free telephone consultation after your inspection.
