1. What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure
and systems of the building. While an appraisal seeks to determine value,
a home inspection seeks to determine condition.

4. Why
should a home buyer get a Home Inspection?
Regardless of age, all houses should be inspected, because problems
can be found in new construction as well as older houses. Our thorough
Home Inspection helps you avoid some of the unwelcome “surprises”
by revealing problems prior to moving in. Having a home inspected by
Grand West Home Inspections provides peace of mind. It’s comforting
to know that the home you are buying is safe and sound.

should a home seller get a Home Inspection?
An inspection can streamline the home selling process by detecting problem
areas which need correction before potential home buyers are examining
your property.

7. Should
I be present at the Inspection?
Our goal is to have an informed client. You are more than welcome to attend the inspection. The inspection usually
takes two or three hours, depending on the size and condition of the
home. If you have any questions or concerns about the home, let us know
prior to the inspection.

8. What
kind of written and photographic documentation do I receive?

Western Home Inspection Report complete with photographic documentation. A
checklist and narrative report covers the condition of the physical structure and systems
of the building, noting any deficiencies. The photographs identify and
illustrate the condition of your home.
