A home inspector provides important information about what is likely your biggest investment – your home. Whether you acquire an inspection to prepare for the sale of your home or as part of the buying process, you want to partner with a home inspector you trust.

The homebuying process includes many steps which can feel confusing. At Kenco Home Inspections, we want you to have confidence as you go through the steps to purchase a home. Two important elements when buying a home are the appraisal and home inspection. While these tasks have some similarities, they serve two very distinct roles.

One of the questions we frequently receive is how to know if a home needs a new roof. A roof replacement is one of the most expensive home maintenance jobs. When purchasing a new home, it’s important to determine the state of the existing roof. However, you may also choose to schedule a roof inspection at any point before you decide to invest in a new roof.

At Kenco Home Inspections, we work within the tight real estate timeframe to offer efficient and effective home inspections. We want you to have all the information you need to have peace of mind when purchasing a home. We highlight any health or financial risks or hazards we find. After all, that’s the goal with a home inspection!

As a home buyer, you schedule a home inspection to identify issues with the home so you can make an informed purchasing decision. Our goal when we conduct a home inspection is to offer the best information based on our evaluation. At the end of the inspection, we produce a written report you can use to determine if you want to request repairs from the seller as part of the purchase negotiations.

Fall is in the air or at least on the calendar to begin in September. The start of fall is the perfect time to take care of fall maintenance and get your home ready for winter. While southeast Florida doesn’t experience the winter weather seen in other parts of the country, the transition to autumn does offer the opportunity to clean up from summer storms.

There are many things to consider before buying a home, especially for first time homebuyers. One of the most important matters to consider is the condition of the property. There is no better way to find out the true state of a home than to schedule a professional home inspection.
