What to Expect During Your Home Inspection

A home inspection is a critical step in the home buying process, but if you've never been through one, it can feel a bit mysterious. Here is what you can expect when you hire Certified Property Inspectors.

The Process

A typical home inspection takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and age of the home. The inspector will evaluate all visible and accessible systems and components, from the roof down to the foundation.

Should You Attend?

We highly recommend that buyers attend the inspection, especially toward the end. This allows the inspector to walk you through the home, point out key findings, and show you how various systems operate. It's much easier to understand a defect when you can see it in person rather than just reading about it in a report.
