Home Inspections

Your house is your biggest investment. So you don't want to be surprised by problems after you move in. Whether the house you're buying is big or small, 1 year old or 100, I'll help you understand its condition and how the systems operate. My goal is to provide you with a top quality inspection so you'll to feel confident making an informed purchase decision.

A home inspection is a visual evaluation of the major systems in the house including structure, roof, exterior, heating/cooling, plumbing, electrical and the interior. As long as it's safe and accessible I'll walk on roofs, enter attics and crawl spaces, remove access panels and operate equipment. I'll look at every room in the house using the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI®), which is included in every report I produce.

I'll provide you with an easy-to-read written report, divided into the major components of your home. See the FAQ section for more information about home inspections.

New Construction Inspections

Think there couldn't be anything wrong with a brand new house because it's already passed a municipal inspection? Think that the builder's 'quality control' person is going to catch all the mistakes?

Smart home buyers are having Cornerstone Inspection Service, Inc.look the property over before they sign on the dotted line. I'll look at the house from top to bottom, inside and out and I'll present my findings in a detailed report. I find problems at most new houses. Often, the cost of the inspection is less than the cost to repair just one item.

1-Year Warranty Inspections

So? You didn't get your brand new house inspected before you moved in?

If you have a warranty, it might not be too late to have the builder correct items that were not constructed properly. A 1-year warranty inspection from Cornerstone Inspection Service, Inc. will reveal construction defects that most home owners will not find on their own. It will be summarized in a detailed report.

You should schedule your warranty inspection at least a month before the warranty expires.
