Buyer’s Inspection
The buyer’s inspection is a non-invasive and thorough visual inspection of a residential building. During the inspection, we will take note of the condition of the property in relation to its age and find any damage or defects with the home’s visible and safely accessible systems and components. This inspection will teach home buyers everything they need to know about the home before they purchase it.
Home-Guard Annual Maintenance Inspection
Early detection is a crucial line of defense for your investment. A regular inspection can lead to the discovery of potentially expensive damage.
Investor Inspection
Most experienced residential investors need help putting together a detailed report of issues in the home without all of the information that first-time home buyers might need. An Investor Inspection is a quick and easy way to get a concise report of these defects only at a reduced fee. This inspection can also be used for estate transfers and seasoned buyers.
