What to Expect from a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a wise investment when buying or selling a home. At Kenco Home Inspections, we want our clients to feel prepared and comfortable with the inspection process.
What Is A Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a service provided by a qualified and trained professional home inspector. Typically, clients schedule home inspections when buying or selling a property.
The purpose of an inspection is to evaluate a home's visible areas and systems and provide an unbiased report of the home's current condition.
The Home Inspection Process
Scheduling
The first step is to schedule the inspection within the timeframe allowed in the sale contract. Most contracts define a date by which the buyer must request repairs from the seller. We work hard to schedule inspections quickly to help our clients meet their contractual obligations.
Prepare the Home
Before the inspection, ensure we have access to all areas. For example, if the HVAC is in a basement utility room, unlock the door so that we can inspect the unit. If it's a buyer's inspection, have your real estate agent set this expectation with the seller.
Inspection
We encourage the client to attend the inspection and ask questions. Our expert technician will evaluate the visible areas of the property. We follow a checklist to ensure we cover the standard items included in a full home inspection. We also offer ancillary inspections to cover specialized areas of the home.
Reporting
After the inspection, our technician will prepare a detailed written report. The digital report will include images and descriptions of each area of the home. We are happy to schedule a time to discuss the report with you.
A Home Inspection Protects Your Interests
A home is the most significant investment most people make. When purchasing a home, it's vital to understand the property's condition. You do not want surprises after the closing.
Some issues, like roof damage, foundation issues, and mold problems, can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. It is better to discover problems early so you can make an informed buying decision.
