We Will:

  • Assure the inspection delivers a detailed report to you before we leave the house
  • Assure the inspection points out major and minor deficiencies to give you the complete picture on your new home's condition
  • Assure the inspection identifies any major expenditures coming up so you can budget these potential expenses
  • Assure the inspection identifies any potential safety hazards present
  • Assure the inspection shows you how various systems work
  • Assure the inspection reviews and explain the conditions found
