What's Included in a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a thorough visual evaluation of the home’s major systems and components. Our inspections are designed to identify safety concerns, defects, maintenance issues, and items that may require repair or replacement.
If we discover concerns during the inspection, we’ll explain what they mean, discuss their potential impact, and include them in your inspection report with supporting photos.
Your inspection includes an assessment of:
Roofing
Your roof is one of the most important systems protecting your home from the elements. During our inspection, we evaluate the visible condition of the roofing materials and look for signs of damage, aging, or improper installation.
We inspect:
- Roofing materials
- Flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof penetrations

We inspect the major systems and components of the property to help identify issues that may need correction by the builder before closing.
11-Month Warranty Inspections
Many homeowners schedule an inspection before their builder warranty expires. An 11-month warranty inspection helps identify defects or concerns while they may still be covered by the builder.
We evaluate the home for issues that may have developed since construction, including structural concerns, water intrusion, electrical problems, plumbing issues, HVAC concerns, and other components requiring attention.
Seller’s Pre-Listing Inspections
A pre-listing inspection allows homeowners to identify potential problems before putting their property on the market.
By completing an inspection before listing, sellers can:
- Address repairs proactively
- Reduce surprises during negotiations
- Provide greater confidence to potential buyers
- Help create a smoother transaction process
Drywall Inspections
A drywall inspection is performed during the construction process after drywall installation but before final finishes are completed. This inspection provides an opportunity to identify issues that may be hidden once walls, ceilings, and other areas are finished.
A drywall inspection may include reviewing:
- Proper drywall installation
- Visible damage or defects
- Signs of moisture concerns
- Wall and ceiling conditions
- Areas requiring correction before completion
Scheduling inspections at key stages of construction can help ensure issues are identified early, when they are typically easier and less expensive to address.
