So you want to buy a home? You probably have the exact house in mind and you’ve already mentally moved in. But before you become responsible for a property and every element in, under, and around it, make the right choice and have a Home Inspection by a professional Home Inspector. Our services can prevent overwhelming headache weeks, months, or even years down the road. Just because a home looks great, doesn’t mean it functions great. Think of all the aspects to a home: electrical, drainage, heating, cooling, water…the list could go on, but the fact is we require a lot more than just a roof over our heads. And when things go badly, they go quickly. If you don’t know what to look for, you could end up living in a nightmare, rather than your dream home.
Home Inspections of New Construction
Your dream home was just constructed and has passed all local St. Francis codes, which means you can skip the inspection, right? Nope. City codes don’t always address defects that we find when we inspect homes, even new ones. It is important that a wanted property be inspected by a professional, certified, and licensed St. Francis home inspector. Whether the home was built a week ago or 100 years ago, we encourage everyone, for their safety and their pocketbooks, to have a home inspection done before purchase.
Importance of a Home Inspection
Adding to the functionality and visual appeal of a home is just a hardware store away…unfortunately that statement isn’t true for everybody. Hardware stores sell duct tape but that isn’t a permanent fix, no matter where it’s put. Although everyone attempting to perform ‘upgrades’ to their home DIY style does it with good intentions, oftentimes it can actually decrease the value of a home and increase the level of frustration and future costs. And if you don’t know what to look for when purchasing a home, defects can be easily missed. Even when a homeowner does maintenance and installation projects on their home themselves, it’s a requirement to pull permits for certain work. Yet, most people don’t, and the lack of paper and permit trails can spell disaster, one that could be your responsibility if you don’t catch the problems before the deal is complete.
