Home Inspections
About Home Inspections
Home inspections are most commonly associated with buying and selling a residential property. However, home inspections can be useful in a variety of other situations. In addition to giving potential home buyers an accurate assessment of a property and to giving home sellers an idea of what issues should be fixed before listing, a qualified, experienced home inspector can help homeowners to evaluate what’s needed for a major remodeling effort or addition. He can also be useful to property owners looking to plan preventative maintenance.
It helps to have an impartial and knowledgeable opinion when it comes to complicated issues of construction and property condition. A home inspector can help clarify these issues and make them so you and all the parties involved in the transaction can understand them.
