A home inspection is a comprehensive assessment of a property's condition, typically conducted before buying or selling a home. It involves a trained inspector evaluating the various systems and components of the property, including the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more. The purpose is to identify any existing or potential issues, safety concerns, or maintenance needs. Home inspections are crucial because they provide you with a clear understanding of the property's condition, allowing you to make informed decisions about the purchase or necessary repairs.

The duration of a home inspection can vary depending on the size and condition of the property. On average, a standard home inspection takes around 2 to 3 hours to complete. Larger or more complex properties may take longer. It's essential to allocate enough time for the inspection to ensure that the inspector can thoroughly evaluate all aspects of the home. While you are not required to be present during the inspection, we encourage clients to attend, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into the property's condition.

The inspection report is a detailed document that provides a summary of the inspector's findings. It typically includes descriptions of any issues or concerns discovered during the inspection, along with recommendations for further action. You can expect the report to be thorough, including both written descriptions and, in many cases, accompanying photos. At On Point, we prioritize the timely delivery of your report. In most cases, you'll receive your inspection report within 24 to 48 hours after the inspection is completed. This ensures you have the information you need promptly to make informed decisions about your property.
