What you need to know before hiring a HOME INSPECTOR! Buying a house is most likely the single biggest purchase you will make in your entire lifetime. There are three major purchases that we make: cars, stocks and a house. Buying a house is by far the biggest investment. When you buy a house you want to make sure that the house is structurally sound, safe and weatherproof. The biggest problem a potential new home owner faces: Finding a thorough home inspector! You have to base your decision to buy a lifetime investment on a total stranger. That stranger is a home inspector. The job of a home inspector is to make sure your investment is structurally and mechanically sound. When you hire a home inspector you want to make sure that the inspector will provide an accurate, exhaustive inspection. The unfortunate fact is that not all home inspectors are the same. It's true; some inspectors will not get on the roof to fully inspect the shingles, gutters, chimney and flashings. Some home inspectors will not go into crawl spaces to fully inspect the structure. (If they do, some companies charge extra) You can be rest assured that VisionSpec Home Inspectors will do their best to get on the roof, go into crawl spaces and submit a customized, easy to read, computer generated report with digital pictures on site! When you hire VisionSpec we will do our absolute best to give you a complete and thorough inspection of your future home, reporting on any component discrepancies that may adversely affect the value of the home and to provide proper care and maintenance tips for your next investment.
