Why A Full Home Inspection Is Important
A house can look move-in ready and still have problems you can't see from the curb — an aging roof, outdated wiring, a foundation issue starting to show. A full home inspection catches these things before they become expensive surprises. For buyers, it's a chance to negotiate repairs or price, or walk away from a bad deal. For sellers, it can help you spot and fix issues before they show up during a buyer's inspection. Either way, it's one of the best ways to protect what's likely the biggest purchase you'll make.
What's Included in a Full Home Inspection
Every full inspection covers the major systems and structural components that matter most to a property's condition. Here's what I check:
1
Roof, Attic & Visible Insulation
2
Foundation, Basement & Crawlspace
3
Exterior Siding, Grading & Drainage
4
Windows, Doors & Trim
5
Electrical Panel & Wiring
6
Plumbing Fixtures
7
Heating & Cooling Systems
8
Kitchen & Bathroom Fixtures
9
Interior Walls, Ceilings, Floors & Stairs
10
Garage & Any Attached Structures
What You Can Expect with Every Inspection
I'll confirm a time that works for you and let you know what to expect. If you'd like to attend, you're more than welcome — it's a great chance to see the home up close and ask questions in real time.
I'll check every accessible area of the property, from the roof to the foundation, testing systems and components along the way. Plan for the process to take a few hours, depending on the size and condition of the home.
I'll walk you through the main findings in person before I leave. Your full written report, complete with photos, will follow shortly after so you have a clear record to reference.
