What to expect from your Home Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Inspector Joe provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. As a licensed home inspector I will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. I strictly follow the NC Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics for home inspectors established by the NC Home Inspector Licensure Board.
After we walk through the home together, I will explain the general condition of the home and operating systems with you and your agent. I will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. I 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 will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
