BEFORE YOU BOOK

Ask for the details you need to verify

If you need licensing or insurance information before booking, ask our team for the assigned inspector’s license details and current business-insurance documentation. Tell us if an association, lender or other party has specific requirements.

Review the documentation for the service and provider in your quote. A professional credential, a state license and business insurance answer different questions, so check each item you need before confirming the appointment.

KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

Understand the inspection scope

We inspect visible, accessible areas and operate normal controls where conditions allow, within the agreed service scope. We document our observations with photos and explain where access or conditions limit the review.

A home inspection cannot reveal every hidden condition or predict future failures. If a concern needs a closer look, the report identifies recommended specialist follow-up. Review the applicable agreement before your appointment and ask about any item you need included.

AFTER THE VISIT

Read the findings and talk them through

Your Pre-Purchase Inspection includes a same-day report with photos and clear explanations. Confirm the timing of other inspections, specialist work and laboratory results when booking, especially if you have a contract deadline.

Ask us about an observation or recommendation you do not understand. We can explain the findings and the type of specialist who may need to assess a concern further. Your agent, insurer or builder handles the decisions within their role.
