You can expect a home inspection to take 2 to 4 hours. Any less time than that and you should closely question the quality of the inspection. A home inspection is a very detailed, time consuming process.
A walk through with the client is conducted at the conclusion of the inspection. At this time we discuss the issues found during the inspection, answer specific questions you might have about the property and teach you about your investment.
Home Sweet Home Inspections maintains Errors and Omissions Insurance (O&E). Ensure your inspector has O&E insurance. This insurance is designed to not only protect the inspector, but more importantly, it is designed to protect the client.
The client receives a detailed inspection report addressing the issues found during the inspection.
Following the inspection, a report package will be compiled and delivered. This package includes:
"Basic Home Repair" self-help repair book from Sunset Books.
CD-ROM containing the digital pictures taken during the inspection.
Detailed computer generated report, further explaining the issues found, possible reasons for them and suggested ideas for repairs.
Literature on environmental concerns and other issues of interest with your specific property.
Information specific to the property being inspected, ie: septic systems, heat exchangers, etc.
