Our Home Inspection Process
Knowing what to expect from your inspector removes most of the anxiety around inspection day. Here’s exactly how it works, from booking to report, so you can follow along with confidence.
Step 1: Schedule Your Inspection
Call or book online and we’ll find a time that works with your closing timeline — often within 24–48 hours. Tell us the home’s age, square footage, and any add-ons you’re considering (radon, WDI/termite, sewer scope) so we can quote accurately and block enough time to do it right.
Step 2: Arrival & Walkthrough Invitation
We arrive on time and start with a quick walk-through of the property with you, if you’re able to attend. This is your chance to point out anything you’ve noticed or ask questions before the detailed inspection begins.
Step 3: The Inspection
We methodically go through the roof, exterior, structure, foundation, attic, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and interior systems using a documented Standards of Practice — not a personal checklist that changes house to house. Typical inspections take 2–4 hours depending on size and age.
Step 4: Follow Along and Ask Questions
If you’re on-site, we’ll walk you through findings in real time, in plain language — no jargon, no rushing. Seeing an issue in person, with context, makes it far easier to understand than reading about it cold in a report later.
Step 5: Your Report, Within 24 Hours
You’ll have a complete, photo-documented report in your inbox within 24 hours, organized by the Four-Bucket framework — health & safety, major systems, minor/handyman fixes, and cosmetic — so you know exactly where to focus first.
Step 6: We’re Still Here After the Report
Questions come up after you’ve had time to read the report and talk to your agent or a contractor. Call us — we’ll help you understand severity and next steps at no extra charge.
