FAQ

Answer the common questions before they turn into hesitation.

What does a standard inspection typically cover?

A standard home inspection usually reviews the visible condition of the roof, exterior, structure, attic, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, interior rooms, windows, doors, and other accessible installed systems and components.

How long does an inspection usually take?

Most inspections take roughly two to four hours depending on the size, age, condition, occupancy, and complexity of the home and any attached structures.

When should the client expect the report?

Most clients want the report as quickly as possible so decisions can keep moving. Turnaround timing can vary with property size, weather, and access, but the reporting flow is built around clear next-step communication.

Should the client attend the inspection?

Yes, when possible. A walkthrough near the end of the appointment often helps clients connect the report language to what was actually observed on site.
