Home Inspection
Buying a house is one of the largest purchases you will make in your life. It is extremely important to know the true condition before any large purchase. This is where the home inspection comes in.
That beautiful dream home might just be a home improvement nightmare!
A thorough home inspection provides a clear picture of a home’s overall condition. The inspection will identify any major defects, safety concerns, and damaged items, as well as maintenance recommendations to extend the life of your investment.
