What To Expect During A Home Inspection

At Skilled Inspections, we believe a home inspection is an essential process for BOTH buyers and sellers of a property. It provides the opportunity for a professional inspector to inspect, evaluate and report on the condition of the home in order to give both parties an accurate understanding of the property’s condition prior to finalizing any sale agreement. 

For buyers, it provides assurance that they are making a sound financial investment. During a home inspection, potential problems or maintenance needs with the structure and systems within the property are identified so that buyers can make sure necessary repairs are addressed before purchasing. Home inspections also provide buyers peace of mind by uncovering issues that could have been missed during their own visual inspection when looking at properties

On the other hand, sellers may benefit from a home inspection by having the opportunity to address any necessary repairs prior to placing the property on the market. This can help to avoid surprises, delays, or further negotiations with potential buyers down the line. In addition, sellers are more likely to get their asking price if they can provide proof of a professional home inspection that certifies the property is in good condition.

Overall, a properly conducted and thorough home inspection will benefit both parties in a real estate transaction by providing detailed information about the property’s condition that each party can use when deciding whether or not to move forward with it. It is an essential step for both buyers and sellers alike.

Here at Skilled Inspections, we provide a comprehensive home inspection to ensure our customers have the peace of mind they need before making a purchase or sale. Our team is highly experienced and certified in all aspects of residential property inspections. We will conduct a thorough evaluation of all major components and systems within the home, as well as any defects or potential safety issues that might be present. We inspect all interior and exterior elements, including walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures, heating/cooling systems, attic insulation and ventilation, roofs, and chimneys. We also offer optional services such as radon testing or wood-destroying insect inspection (WDII). Our service includes a detailed written report featuring photos and descriptions of all issues found, along with suggested repair solutions.

It’s important to remember that not every issue identified during a home inspection will be a deal-breaker, but it can help alert you to expensive repairs you may need to make in the future. Be sure to ask questions and get an estimate of any repair costs before making your final decision. The home inspection is just a critical step in the process of buying a house, so it’s crucial to do your research and be prepared for what lies ahead.

We understand that time is of the essence when it comes to buying or selling a home, and our goal is to provide an accurate and complete assessment as quickly as possible. On average, our inspections take between 2-3 hours to complete, although some more complex properties may take slightly longer. Depending on the size and complexity of your property, we will provide you with an estimated completion time prior to beginning the inspection process. Our team takes pride in delivering high-quality work and attention to detail so that you can make informed decisions about your potential purchase or sale quickly and confidently.

Common issues found during one of our home inspections vary widely but may include structural problems, water damage, foundation issues, electrical and plumbing problems, roof damage, safety issues such as faulty wiring or gas leaks, lack of insulation and ventilation, pest infestations, and drainage or grading concerns. Other potential problems could include mold growth due to high humidity levels or inadequate ventilation systems, and insufficient egress routes for emergency exits. It is important to us that you are aware of all potential risks before purchasing a home so you can budget appropriately for repairs or other related costs. Home inspectors are trained professionals who can help provide an objective assessment of the condition of the house and identify any potential hazards that could impact its value. A thorough inspection will help you make an informed decision about your purchase and ensure that you are buying a safe home.

It is also important to note that while one of our inspectors will provide a thorough assessment of the property, they will not be able to detect every issue or potential problem that could arise in the future. This includes hidden defects such as water damage on interior walls, behind appliances, or underneath the flooring, which may not be visible until after the sale has been completed. Additionally, some issues may require specialized tools or expertise to diagnose accurately, and an inspector may need to gain the necessary skill set to detect these types of problems. Therefore, it is best practice for you to obtain additional opinions from contractors who specialize in specific areas if they have any concerns after a home inspection has been conducted.
