Buying a house or condo is one of life’s biggest decisions. You’ll want a licensed Home Inspector to conduct a thorough inspection of the property to ascertain its condition on the inspection date.
Our home inspector knows the building trades and is a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) as well as the New Jersey Association of Licensed Home Inspectors (NJALPHI)
A professional home inspection should be performed as soon as you are ready to put in your offer for a particular home. It’s an inexpensive way to discover the general condition of a home and find out if it’s truly your “dream home”.
A licensed NJ home inspector will assist you in understanding exactly what you’re about to acquire, so until you have satisfactory results in your hands – do not close.
A home may look perfect and even move-in ready, but a home inspection can uncover issues that are not noticeable to the buyer’s eye. You are making a big investment, so you want to know the shape of the electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, insulation, HVAC, and structure of the home or condo/co-op you are considering.
The building inspector will provide a written report evaluating the house’s major systems, components, and outlying areas, including:
Exterior
- Driveways, walkways, grade steps, patios, and retaining walls
- Building perimeter, land grade, and water drainage adjacent to the foundation
- Identify exterior deficiencies that might adversely affect the structure
- Windows, doors, exposed areas of chimneys, rain gutters, and roof
Interior
- Foundation walls, grade slab, and floor slab including inspection for water damage
- Exposed bearing walls, posts, piers, beams, sub-floors, chimney, and stairs
- Roof structure and attic insulation and ventilation
- Electrical, heating and cooling, and plumbing systems
Excluding:
- Radon and Termites, are available for an additional fee.
- Environment testing is not covered in a general home inspection (Mold, Asbestos, Lead Paint, Underground Oil Tanks, etc.)
