Description of Services

A Distinguished Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the house you are considering purchasing. It provides you an expert opinion and professional report on the condition of the physical structure and various systems within the house. Giving you peace of mind on what is likely the largest purchase you will ever make.
It is the job of the home inspector to not only evaluate the condition of the house’s major systems and structural integrity, but also to evaluate how these systems are working together and identify areas that need to be repaired or replaced.
In order to prepare the report, Distinguished Home Inspections will conduct a visual inspection of the house. The inspection process typically takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete. The actual inspection time may take longer depending on the size and complexity of the house. We strongly encourage you to be present for the inspection. This will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of the home.
Every inspection is a comprehensive analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The inspection report includes a clear description of what we’ve found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. We also provide a free telephone consultation after your inspection.
