Home Inspectors near you

What does a Home Inspector do?

A licensed home inspector examines a house before you buy it: roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, windows and major appliances. The home inspection report is what buyers use during the inspection contingency period to negotiate repairs, ask for a closing credit or walk away from the deal.
