Why Consider A Home Inspection?

Your home is likely your single largest investment. With age even the best maintained homes develop unseen problems. Poor building practices and defective materials can and do result in problems developing over time. Realtors and mortgage companies have learned this the hard way and strongly encourage their clients to have a home inspection. Even new homes have issues that need to be addressed before closing and older homes may have hidden damage or safety issues requiring costly repair.

If you are like most homeowners, you want and need a professional to assess the health of your home. Are there hidden problems that, if corrected now, will prevent further damage and added expense? Are the visible problems structural in nature, or are they merely cosmetic? A thorough inspection can provide peace of mind today and will allow you to plan future repairs instead of being surprised by them.

When selling your home your motto should be “Forewarned is forearmed". Don’t let the price of the home inspection deter you from protecting your investment. Remember most inspections cost only 1/10 of a percent of the value of your investment, and could save you considerable time and money.
