Here is a quick overview of the services included in your home inspection. The major systems that we analyse and assess throughout the process will be detailed in the report.
WHAT IS A HOME INSPECTION?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer, by revealing problems they might not have noticed otherwise.
HOW MUCH DOES A HOME INSPECTION COST?
Our home inspections start at CAD$350. The cost will vary based on the square footage of the home, the age of the home, and location of the home. Call, text, or email us for a quote today!
HOW LONG DOES A HOME INSPECTION TAKE?
Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).
SHOULD I ATTEND THE INSPECTION?
Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!
WHAT IF THE INSPECTION REPORT REVEALS PROBLEMS?
It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images and videos highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
