What Really Matters
It is important during your inspection to keep things in perspective. Most of your inspection will likely be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. Many items can be corrected inexpensively. The issues that really matter will fall into 1 of 4 categories
Major Defects
- Structural defect such as a bowed foundation wall
Items that may lead to major defects
- Cracked chimney cap which over time allows rain to penetrate the roof structure causing mold mildew and rot
Items that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the house
- Knob and Tube Wiring
- 60 AMP Service
Safety Hazards
- Loose Railings or Stair Treads
- Missing Smoke Detectors
Anything within these categories should be addressed immediately.
Your WELCOME HOME inspector will explain any items found and why and in what to time frame they need to be corrected. As your home inspector our goal is to help you through the evaluation process so that you will have the information that you need to protect your investment
For the home buyer the process of buying a home is exciting and yet can be stressful. You have spent a great deal of time and effort considering price, neighborhood, style, size and floor plan. Once that decision is made, the fundamental question arises- is the house itself sound? What kind of repairs will be required and what can reasonably be anticipated in the way of costs.
For the home seller a pre-sale home inspection can be your competitive edge when it comes to offering the buyer peace of mind. What repairs should be made before putting the home up for sale. Will there be any surprises after the offer has been signed.
A WELCOME HOME inspection is designed to answer these questions in considerable detail. Our home inspection is a visual technical analysis of the major systems of a house and includes the evaluation of nearly 400 different items that affect the safety, condition and value of a home.
Our goal is to identify any existing major problems that would affect your buying decision.
