Standard Home Inspection

Buying a home is often a very emotional experience. The time and energy spent in looking at home after home until you find "THE RIGHT ONE". These emotions can impair the buyer's judgment and prevent them from not only seeing minor defects in a home but also major and sometimes costly ones. Our home inspectors will help to provide you with an objective, unbiased and detailed report on the condition of the home. Remember there is no return or refund policy when you buy a home, the best way to protect yourself is to know and understand the condition of the home you are buying. City Wide Home Inspectors provides our clients with the knowledge, experience and support to ensure you are making an informed purchase decision.

Our Home Inspectors will evaluate and report on both exterior and interior components of the home.

Exterior Components:
Roof, Chimney, Flashings, Valleys, Siding, Trim, Windows & Storms, Landscaping, Gutters, Downspouts, Driveway, Patios, Decks, Porches, Air Conditioner Compressor

Interior Components:
Heating System, Plumbing System, Electrical System, Walls, Floors, Ceilings, Windows, Attic, Basement, Structure

Our Standard Home Inspection comes complete with a customer computerized 50 plus page Home Inspection Report which also includes a digital (CD) copy of the report, photos and video (if used). All of our report includes a Home Maintenance DVD which is especially useful for first time home buyers. All of our Standard Home Inspection reports are accessible on the internet at no extra cost.

A Standard Home Inspection will take between 1.5 to 3 hours. We request that the client be available during the inspection to review all findings with the inspector. The client will be encouraged to accompany the inspector throughout the property except on the roof, or any other area that is deemed unsafe for the client, the inspector, or may damage the property. Our inspector will require full access to the property, which should be arranged for by the buyer, the buyer’s agent, seller or seller’s agent. At the completion of the inspection, the inspector will review all of his or her findings in the review meeting with the client. The full inspection report is available for the client to review (including all the photos) on our website within 24 hours of completion of the inspection. The hardcopy, CD and DVD are delivered to the client via courier.

Walk Through Inspection

Don’t need a full written report, but just a second opinion or the opportunity to ask questions about the home, then our Walk Through Inspection might be for you. Our Certified Home Inspector will walk you through the entire Standard Home Inspection process with the exception that you will receive all the report information verbally at the time of the inspection.

There is no photos, video, Home Maintenance DVD or Manual presented with this inspection. The details of the inspection are presented verbally with a simple summary page presented at the end of the inspection.
