• WHAT SHOULD I NOT EXPECT FROM A HOME INSPECTION?

• A home inspection is not protection against future failures. A home inspection tells you the condition of the component and any limitations to performing that inspection at the time the component was inspected
• A home inspection is not an appraisal that determines the value of the home, nor will I as a home inspector tell you if you should buy this home or what to pay for this home
• As a home inspector I will not pass or fail a home
• As a home inspector I consider SAFETY a key issue when performing a home inspection.

• Receive answers to your questions right at the time

• HOW MUCH TIME IS REQUIRED FOR A HOME INSPECTION?
