Everything and the kitchen sink
A complete home inspection is designed to give you as much
information as possible about your home. Most of your inspection will include
maintenance recommendations, and minor imperfections. However, the
issues that we pay particular attention to fall into three categories:
- Major defects. An example of this would be a
structural
failure.
- Problems leading to major defects. A small leak in
the roof flashing, for example.
- Safety hazards. For example, improper wiring that
could cause injury or fire.
Our full inspections cover the following items, and more:

retaining walls, walkways,
