Home Inspection FAQs
A home inspection is a thorough visual evaluation of the major systems and structure of a home — including roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, insulation, and more. The goal is to identify safety issues, defects, or needed repairs before you buy or sell.
Most inspections take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger homes, older homes, and properties with additional structures (sheds, pools, etc.) may take longer.
A standard home inspection includes:
Roofing system
Exterior & structure
Electrical
Plumbing
HVAC
Attic, insulation & ventilation
Interior walls, ceilings & floors
Doors & windows
Kitchens & bathrooms
Appliances
Foundation and crawlspaces, when accessible
You’ll receive a detailed written report with photos and recommendations.
