MOST IMPORTANTLY, a comprehensive and impartial home inspection performed by A-1 will
provide you with peace of mind as you complete this important real estate
transaction.
A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection
gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need
to make a sound, informed decision.
Depending on the size and condition
of the home, a thorough home inspection will take generally two to three hours. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector
during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.
We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major systems
and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found with any problem areas noted,
so you can easily identify them. Our inspectors also provide a free telephone consultation after your inspection.
