What To Expect From Your Home Inspection With Blue Guardian
At Blue Guardian Home Inspections, we invite you to join us for the entirety of your home inspection. Your active participation is not just welcome – it’s encouraged! Staying alongside our home inspector throughout the process ensures you gain valuable insights into the condition and maintenance needs of your potential home. There are a few exceptions. We cannot let you use our ladder to access the roof or attic space. The duration of a typical home inspection varies based on the home’s size, condition, and usually averages around 2-3 hours. But we are more than happy to take longer if you have questions, (We actually love it when our clients have questions for us)!
For our first-time home buyers, our inspections offer an excellent education. For seasoned buyers, we delve into major issues and share insights into general building science. Throughout the inspection, we capture the details with digital photos, integrating them into a comprehensive report.
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We 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, which 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.
