Surprises are great for birthday parties but not so much when buying a home! You need to know EXACTLY what you are buying BEFORE and not be surprised afterward. Also great for sellers prior to listing so you can deal with issues before they become a problem! The Inspection Guys provide exemplary service at a fair price to avoid surprises and save you money! The more details we have about your inspection, the better. We provide an exact quote based on your needs. Information like square footage, type of home, additional tests such as radon and termite help us create an accurate quote for you! The latest in drone, robotic and thermal technology when necessary, to give our clients the most comprehensive report possible. Home Inspections include Roof, HVAC, Structure and Foundation, Interior and Exterior, Chimney, Crawlspace and Plumbing Inspection, provided by a Licensed, Insured and Certified Professional Inspector. We offer Manufactured Home Foundation Engineer Certificates.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

The typical inspection period when buying a home—the time you have to conduct a home inspection and either agree to move forward with the sale or back out of it—is around 10 days. The inspection period can range from a week up to around 21 days, depending on the area, the state of the market, and how quickly the seller wants or needs the deal to progress.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:

  • Acoustic ceiling tiles

  • Furnace insulation

  • Home appliances

  • Fire-retardant clothing

  • Cement pipe

  • Pipe insulation

  • Wall and ceiling insulation

  • Vehicle brake pads

  • Vinyl flooring

  • Sprayed acoustic ceilings

  • Stove insulation

  • Patching compounds

  • Textured paints

  • Roofing shingles

  • Siding

In many cases, you can sell your house if it has aluminum wiring, but you are likely required to disclose that fact during the sale. In some cases, your city or area may have banned the sale of homes with aluminum wiring, so you’ll need to update the wiring or arrange for its replacement as part of the sale. In some cases, it will benefit your home sale to replace the wiring system before putting it on the market.

In most cases, you can negotiate after a home inspection and use the issues as leverage to bring down the purchase price of a home. The only exception would be if you waived the home inspection to make your offer more appealing to the seller. In that case, you can still have a home inspection done to identify issues, but you have no recourse to make a counteroffer after you get the inspection results.

The person who requests the inspection should select the inspector themselves. This way, there are no conflicts of interest, and the inspection report offers an objective, unbiased look into the condition of the property.
