A professional home inspection is an impartial third-party visual evaluation of the physical structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, roofing, interior and exterior.

In most cases the average inspection takes between 3 to 4 hours depending on the size, condition and age of the property. This time frame can vary greatly as I don't know exactly what I will find until getting into the data collection process of the inspection. The compiling of data into a comprehensive and understandable report is another 2-3 hours. If necessary I may also research additional information on certain elements discovered during the inspection so that can also be adequately presented that in the report.

A comprehensive report is usually in your e-mail as an Adobe PDF file attachment the following morning (within 24 hours). If you would prefer a hard-copy of the report arrangements can be made for this mode of delivery as well. Copies of the report can be provided to your real estate agent as long as we get your approval to share.

I've been asked about providing reports "on-site". The quick and responsible answer is:  "NO". All of the time I book with you is spent on the inspection of the property. My focus is on the critical data collection and sharing of this early information with you at the end of this time. As noted above it can take an additional 2-3 hours to write the comprehensive and detailed report that is your tool and guide to the condition of the property.
