Description
The Home Improvement Inspection is a thorough, in-depth visual
examination of the structure and operating components of the home, performed by
trained professionals. A trained inspector will be at your home for 2 to 3
hours. And you're invited to follow the inspector step by step. We
want you to come along and see for yourself. Ask lots of questions.
We expect it. When the inspection is over, the inspector will review the
inspection results with you. In addition, the inspector will prepare an
online PROPERTY INSPECTION REPORT that gives easy-to-read details
and which will be available the following day.
