INSPECTION FAQ

"Why should I have my home inspected??"

Home Inspection is a methodology different from engineering or contracting. An ASHI certified home inspector has a duty to check, describe and report on specific aspects and areas of the home. Performing this specific function on a daily basis for thousands of homes makes an ASHI Certified Home Inspector the most effective tool you have to educate you about the home you are about to purchase.

"My uncle is a contractor, can he inspect my home for me?"

Having a friend or relative perform this invaluable service for you may prove disastrous. Misunderstandings often arise due to the lack of a proven written reporting process and methodology. Your bank requires a qualified Appraiser to judge the value of your home. It makes good financial sense that you should also require a qualified Home Inspector to evaluate the condition of the home you are about to purchase. The ASHI certified Home Inspector at HomePro Inspection Inc is that qualified individual you need for your purchase.

"What if an item is misreported?"

As an added assurance, HomePro Inspection, Inc. also carries Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance to protect you, our client, against any damages that may result from an item being misreported or omitted from your Home Inspection Report. This insurance is only offered to experienced home inspectors and you should insist on E&O coverage for the report on the home you are buying.

"How long does a Home Inspection take?"

The inspector has allotted one half of a business day to perform and complete your Home Inspection. Small to medium size homes take 3-4 hours to inspect while medium to large homes typically take longer. Also older homes and homes that have not been well cared for will typically take longer to inspect. When confirming your inspection appointment with your Realtor, please be sure they are aware of the time needed to properly complete the Home Inspection as some of our competitors spend less than two hours completing an inspection.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?"

HomePro Inspection Inc understands there are occasions when an appointment time must be moved or canceled. Because your Home Inspector has committed one half business day to perform and complete your Home Inspection we ask the courtesy of reasonable notice by contacting your inspector at least 24 hours in advance should you need to reschedule or cancel your inspection appointment time. We are happy to do this free of charge with a minimum 24 hour notice. A $100 fee applies if less than 24 hour notice is given when moving or canceling an appointment time.
