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:

1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2. Problems leading to major defects. A small leak in
   the roof flashing, for example.
3. Safety hazards. For example, improper wiring that
   could cause injury or fire.

Our full inspections cover the following items, and more:

• Site: grading, drainage, retaining walls, walkways, driveways, patios, decks, porches
