What’s Included in a General Home Inspection?
Our General Home Inspection is a top to bottom assessment of the property’s condition, following InterNACHI’s rigorous Standards of Practice. We examine all visible and accessible areas of the home, including:
- Roofing and exterior
- Structure and foundation
- HVAC systems
- Plumbing and electrical
- Attic, insulation, and ventilation
- Interior features like walls, floors, windows, and doors
As part of every inspection, we also include FREE thermal imaging scans of interior walls and ceilings at no extra cost. While some companies charge for this service, we believe it’s a crucial tool in identifying hidden moisture issues, missing insulation, and electrical hotspots.
Every inspection comes with a detailed digital report, complete with high resolution images, clear summaries, and actionable recommendations delivered within 24 hours. Our goal is to give you peace of mind and help you move forward with confidence.
