Home Inspection
Frequently Asked Questions

A home inspection is a visual evaluation of a property’s accessible systems and components, performed by a licensed inspector. The goal is to identify visible defects, safety concerns, and maintenance issues so clients can make informed decisions.

Your home inspection usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Larger homes or properties with extra features may take longer so you receive a complete and detailed report.

Inspection times vary by size and condition of the property, but most inspections take between 2 and 4 hours.
