What To Expect From Your Home Inspection: The Hometown Inspections Way!

By Emily Davis   8/6/2020

Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Hometown Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our licensed home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.

After we walk through the home together, your inspector will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, that will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.

What do we Inspect?

  • Roof

    I inspect roof coverings, structure, gutters, downspouts and more

  • Exterior

    Walkways, exterior doors, eaves, soffits, fascia and more

  • Heating/Cooling

    All major heating and cooling systems to make sure you get them in working order

  • Interior

HOW LONG SHOULD A HOME INSPECTION TAKE TO PERFORM?

about 2½ – 3 hours
It depends upon the size of the home and the number of rooms. An average inspection takes about 2½ – 3 hours (1½ – 2 hours for a condo). The time is well-spent considering there are more than 500 components in the average home.
