What To Expect From Your Home Inspection

Congratulations on moving forward with your new home!  Here’s what you can expect for the inspection process.

We’ll begin with a phone consultation to discuss appointment times, details about the home, and address any concerns or questions you may have, then we will book your inspection for a time and day most convenient for you.  When it comes to your inspection, you are in the driver’s seat!  You can choose to be as hands-on or hands-off as you’d like.  Most clients prefer to be present for the last 30 minutes of the inspection to get a summary walk-through, some are present for the entire time, and some clients are not present at all. 

Should you choose to be there for your inspection, that is a great time to ask our professional inspector questions about the home, reported deficiencies, maintenance planning , etc.  Can’t make it to the inspection? No worries!  Sound Home Inspections offers same-day detailed and easy to understand reports that include photos and videos.  Our professional inspector is also available by phone 7 days a week to walk you through your report and answer any questions you have. 

We just have one rule: There’s no such thing as a stupid question!  Ask away!

During the inspection, our certified inspector systematically walks your new home inside and out and top to bottom, combining our extensive checklist with over 20 years of residential construction knowledge to bring you a thorough and detailed report. 

Once the inspection is complete, we will email an electronic report to you and your realtor so you can review it together.  If you have home care and maintenance questions after you move in, your inspector is happy to offer advice, troubleshooting, and referrals at no additional charge.  

We are honored to walk through this portion of the home buying process with you.
