A home inspection is a thorough check of a property’s major systems and components. It doesn’t tell you whether to buy the house or not — it gives you a clear picture of the home’s condition so you can make an informed decision.
Buying a home is a huge investment. An inspection helps you know what’s working, what needs attention, and what might become an expense down the road. It gives you confidence before you make one of the biggest decisions of your life.
A home inspection covers all major systems, including the foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other critical components. It also includes checking for issues that could cause problems in the future, like water intrusion or potential safety hazards.
The cost can vary depending on the size and age of the home, but a typical inspection is a fraction of the price of the home itself — and it can save thousands by uncovering issues early.

It’s all about knowledge and peace of mind. You’ll understand the true condition of the home, which can help with budgeting for repairs, negotiating with the seller, and avoiding unexpected problems later.
No — every home can benefit from an inspection, whether it’s brand new or decades old. Even new homes can have issues, and inspections help protect your investment.
Most inspections take a few hours, depending on the size and condition of the home. Jeremy takes the time to look carefully at all major systems, so clients get a thorough report.
Reports vary depending on the home, but they’re detailed enough to give a complete picture of the property. Expect clear notes, photos, and explanations of any issues or areas to monitor.
