Yes, a home inspection is highly recommended before purchasing any property.

The cost of a home inspection typically ranges from $300 to $600, depending on the property's size, age, location, and type (e.g., condo, townhouse, or single-family home). While prices may vary, investing in a professional inspection can help you avoid unexpected repair costs and make an informed purchase decision.

Yes, it's strongly recommended to inspect a new build before closing. Even newly constructed homes can have hidden defects, code violations, or unfinished work. A professional home inspection ensures quality, identifies any issues early, and gives you confidence that your new home is built to standard.

While it’s not mandatory to be present during a home inspection, it’s highly recommended. Attending the inspection allows you to see any issues firsthand, ask the inspector questions, and gain a better understanding of the property's condition. It’s a valuable opportunity to learn more about your future home.

During a home inspection, it's important to ask questions that help you fully understand the property's condition. Key questions include:

• Are there any major issues or safety concerns?

• How serious are the problems found?

• What repairs are needed immediately vs. later?

• How well have the home's systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) been maintained?

• Is the roof in good condition?

• Are there signs of water damage or structural issues?

• Can you explain anything I don't understand in the report?

During a professional home inspection, we provide a detailed evaluation of the property’s major systems and components to give you a clear picture of its overall condition. A standard inspection includes:

• Roof & Attic – shingles, flashing, gutters, insulation, and ventilation.

• Foundation & Structure – visible signs of cracks, settlement, or water intrusion.

• Exterior – siding, windows, doors, grading, and drainage around the home.

• Plumbing System – water supply, fixtures, drains, and visible piping.

• Electrical System – service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and safety devices.

• Heating & Cooling (HVAC) – furnace, air conditioning, ductwork, and functionality.

• Interior – walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and overall condition.

• Basement & Crawlspaces – moisture issues, insulation, and structural elements.

• Appliances (built-in) – basic operation of major installed appliances.

• Safety Concerns – smoke/CO detectors, stairways, and other safety items.

A home inspection is non-invasive, meaning we don’t open walls or move furniture, but we use professional tools and expertise to identify potential problems and safety hazards. The goal is to give you confidence and peace of mind before making your real estate decision.

A home inspector’s role is to provide you with a clear, unbiased assessment of the property’s condition—not to decide whether you should buy it. After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining any issues, from minor maintenance concerns to major safety or structural problems.

Whether you should move forward with the purchase depends on:

• Your comfort level with the condition of the home.

• The cost of necessary repairs or upgrades.

• Negotiations you may be able to make with the seller.

• Your long-term plans for the property.

Think of the inspection as a tool to help you make an informed decision. It gives you the knowledge to determine if the house is right for you, whether you choose to proceed, negotiate repairs, or continue your search.

At the end of the day, the decision to buy is yours—but a thorough home inspection ensures you’re making it with confidence and peace of mind.
