Heritage Home Inspection LLC - Inspection Overview

About Home Inspections
Buying, selling, building or staying in the property you own, a property inspection just makes good sense! Understanding the condition of the systems and components of a building are critical when it comes to purchase, repair and maintenance decisions.

A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.

Upon completion, you will receive a formal written inspection report detailing the condition of each item inspected.

How Long Will It Take?
In most cases, the average inspection takes between 2 to 3 hours depending on the size, condition and age of the property. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.

About the Report
Heritage Home Inspection is proud to provide one of the highest quality inspection reporting systems available. You will find the HomeGauge computer-generated property inspection report easy to read and the explanations very helpful. Your inspection report will be a valuable resource for years to come.
