I provide these services: Pre-Purchase Inspection, Pre-Listing Inspection, & Preventative Maintenance Inspection.The licensed home inspector is a generalist and understands residential construction and residential systems. This is what I bring to every inspection.My inspection includes a visual examination of the major mechanical systems such as plumbing, heating/air conditioning, electrical, and structural components. I’ll also survey the foundation, walls, and the roof to detect discoverable defects or items that do not function as intended. In North Carolina the Licensed Home inspector follows the NC Home Inspection Standards of Practice.Normally before a buyer purchases a home they will hire a licensed home inspector to conduct the inspection. However, wouldn’t it be nice for you to be proactive and find any deficiencies beforehand and have the time to correct them?Sellers who have a home inspection upfront can identify any major problems with the home that may derail a future sale. Any major repairs can be addressed and may be more cost effective than having the buyer’s contractor do the work. It also gives you time to obtain contractor price quotes and have the work done on your schedule rather than rushing to have it done before closing.Very few things in a home are maintenance free. Why wait for a small problem to grow into a larger one? Conducting a preventative maintenance inspection of your homes structural and mechanical systems puts you in the driver’s seat. For example, how often do you inspect your attic or crawl space? Wouldn’t it be nice to catch a small leak in a roof prior to it turning into a larger one causing wood framing to rot or mold and fungus to grow. If not identified and corrected in time a $400 repair could turn into a $4000 repair.
