About Your Inspection

What to expect from your inspection

During Your Inspection

Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining your home, we provide professional, high-quality service from the moment you contact us. We will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by the InterNACHI Association, the leading home inspection association.

After Your Inspection

After the inspection, we will walk through your home together as we explain the general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent. We will discuss any major issues that should be addressed sooner rather than later, as well as items to monitor for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From the report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, complete with images for reference.
