What's Inspected During A Home Inspection

A home Inspection is a limited non-invasive examination of the condition of a house. I will describe, for you, the condition of the house at the time of inspection. Home inspections are not guarantees of the future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of systems or components of the house.

  • roof, vents, flashing and trim;
  • gutters and downspouts;
  • skylight, chimney, and other roof penetrations;
  • decks, stoops, porches, walkways and railings;
  • eaves, soffit and fascia;
  • grading and drainage;
